R9 380 temps

[toshaga]

Hello. 4 day ago I've built a new PC and I was wondering if this GPU temps are normal or it's a defect card so I can change it for new one as I still can.

So I was wondering if anyone who has this card have this problem. In Sapphire TRIXX software for video cards the auto mode is very bad and on load the card goes up to 99C, so i shut down to computer to prevent any damage.

On the custom mode I've made temps are not so bad but I'm using fans on idle(not sure if 50-55C with no fans is better or 41-44C with 30-35% fan speed is better).
Under load with the custom I get around 70-75 max 80C with around 60-70% fan speed.
Here is a example at idle on web:

I wanted to know if this is normal for this card and should I change it for 960 2gb(but it will be weaker i think and not worth it).

70-75 C under load it's normal for this card, nothing to worry about.

Mid 70's under load is fine. Increase your case fan speed a little to get more overall airflow and that will help a fair bit too.

Well the system fans are around 650 RPM and I am using the once which comes with the FD Define S case. On what speed should I put them and I do it from BIOS or there is a software ?

You can set your case fans speeds from BIOS.
800 Rmp should be the optimal speed.

1 more question - will using fans on idle temps for the gpu shorten it's life or start to make weird sound or I should set the fan profile to turn on after 50C or so?
PS - At Idle as you can see it's 30-35% fan speed.

You can let it run at 33% , that won't shorten your GPU life.
It's better to keep your card cool.
