XFX R9 390 reaching 90° C degrees

[marciokpo]

Hello people , so i bought this gpu a time ago now , and while i always tested it on games using resolution 1920 x 1080 and taking the fps limit off , the gpu always reached 84° C max temperature . But right now i was checking an amd drivers option , GPU Scaling that let me take the resolution up to around 3520 x 1800 downscaled to 1920 x 1080 ( 1800p) and so in a few minutes, say 10 minutes the gpu reached a beastly 90 degrees C temperature which i never have had before , so my question is , is this normal for the gpu having into account my room temperature is 30° ( yep , hot ) and that my pc airflow is not that good cus i just have one slow cooler taking out air inside ? in any case , could that high temperature go higher? or even at that temperature risk the condition of all the other parts like the psu motherboard and rest?

It is still with in the operation limit of the GPU but did you just upgrade the drivers to the new Crimson?

Yeah , i recently upgraded to the latest crimson drivers of 24th of november, are you asking cus these drivers may make the gpu go hotter by any chance, or some other Bad thing about it ? :O

So whats the operational Degrees limit anyways that you'd say? and like i asked does it have a chance of burning any part of my pc because of the heavy air inside of the case?

ooooooooooh god, GODDAMIT AMD! i mean i could hear the fans make a lot of noise but , maybe it was something else cus i had the version 15.11 !! not the beta one x_x and i never ever got 90 degrees so far

I think now it has to lock the temperature a bit lower , thanks a lot for the info wouldn't have found it out for myself

Well now with new beta drivers it went to 87° , not much of a difference
