Safe GPU Temperature for Crossfired Sapphire R 9270x Dual 2GB GDDR5

[kevin_2015]

Is it normal to have these GPU Temperature, Im using MSI Afterburner in measuring CPU and GPU Temperature:

=>>On Startup and idle
*GPU1 = 44 deg. Celcius
*GPU2 = 40 deg. Celcius
*CPU = 45 deg. Celcius

=>> Playing Dota2 Highest Temp.
*GPU1 = 80 deg. Celcius
*GPU2 = 77 deg. Celcius
*CPU = 62 deg. Celcius

=>> Playing CSGO Highest Temp.
*GPU1 = 78 deg Celcius
*GPU2 = 74 deg Celcius
*CPU = 60 deg Celcius

=>> Running Unigine Heaven Benchmark Extreme settings 3x
*GPU1 = 86 deg Celcius
*GPU2 = 77 deg Celcius
*CPU = 60 deg Celcius

Specs of PC Im running:
*Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87 D3HP
*Video Card: 2 x Sapphire Dual R9270x 2GB (Crossfire Enabled, Default Clock speed)
*Processor: i5-4570 (Default Clockspeed 3.2 GHZ)
*Ram: 4 x 4GB DDR3 (1600 MHZ) Corsair Vengeance
*PSU: Aerocool X-strike 600 Watts
*HardDisk: 1TB Western Digital (5400 RPM)

those temps are fine for crossfire. a little warm but thats expected with 2 gpus running next to each other.

Sounds like your case temps and ambient room temps are high. If your idle case temps are way higher than your room temps, you might have an airflow problem. While these GPU temps aren't terrible, you probably could improve them a little with some tweaks. But first, you need to list what case you are using and what direction the fans are pointing including the PSU fan and CPU fan (or fans). I am guessing that your Saphhire GPUs are non-reference. Non-reference for multi-GPU setups are not ideal because they blow hot air into the case and one will always be blowing its hot air onto the other which seems to be happening in your PC.

Hi There Thanks , Yes I'm using 2 non reference Card Sapphire R 9 270 x 2GB and did not overclocked it, These is the specs of my CPU Case,Fans and CPU Cooler:

*CPU Cooler: Hyper Evo 212x
*System Fan: Cougar Challenger =>> http://www.cougargaming.com/uploads/pics/cooling_system_10.png
*PSU: Face Downwards, Aerocool Xstrike 600 Watts

Fans:
1 x 200mm Fan Intake,
1 x 140mm Fan Intake,
2 x 140mm Fan Extake,
1 x 120mm Fan Extake,

As I checked it in BIOS, These fanse were running. I just followed the setup of CPU Case of Cougar Challenger.

Should it run cooler based on the cooling setup I followed?

Your PSU fan is facing down so it is most likely pulling cool air in and pushing it out the back of the case. That is good. I am also assuming that the 212x CPU fan is pointing towards the rear exhaust fan (E). Also good. One thing you could try, based on the pic of your case you linked, is to make the fan on the side panel (D) exhaust as well. This way, more of the hot air being blown into the case by the GPUs will exit out the side. Also, if you can, I would put a 140mm on the side panel if it isn't already. Looking at your motherboard, the GPUs are spaced a good distance apart compared to other boards. If you don't have any cards in those slots, you could add a PCI slot fan like one of these next to each GPU:

This will help exhaust even more hot GPU air out of the case but might add a little noise. You also won't be able to control a cheap one like that since it isn't PWM unless you have a fan controller.
And, finally, use MSI Afterburner to control your fans and monitor your GPU temps. It is the best one for tweaking GPU settings right now. Uninstall any similar Sapphire apps if you have them. In Afterburner, set a custom fan profile. On the GPU that is running hotter (GPU 1), set the fan curve higher until it is closer to the other GPU's temp. You can also set a higher minimum fan speed to lower idle temps a bit but you will be sacrificing noise.

Thanks!! I will try your suggestion, I will set my 140mm fan Extake instead of Intake.
