Guys, i just bought used MSI R9 280X TF. One thing that bother me is the temperature. On idle is about 45C, while on full load about 82-87C + im not sure. I thought Twin Frozr should be running cool than the reference.
Does my card faulty? And what is the normal-safe range temperature for R280X? |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Apr 25 2014, 12:53 AM) That is quite high, did you get an ex-mining card with worn out fans and thermal grease? Unfortunately yes, i got an ex-mining card. Ouch. What choice do i have now bro?   |

QUOTE(marfccy @ Apr 25 2014, 04:52 AM) no need to fret Just re apply the thermal paste using Tuniq-TX2. Not much improvement. Only slight different. Idle about 42-43C and full load using Heaven benchmark about 74C-80C. The biggest different i notice is card cool down in faster rate compare to previously. just try and clean the fans of the leftover dust then if youre ambitious, reapply thermal paste on the GPU chip Wait! I already tear off the MSI sticker during re apply thermal paste. My warranty void? |

QUOTE(marfccy @ Apr 25 2014, 05:19 AM) depending on how you tore it, if still able to reapply in close to mint condition, you can always try RMA I punch in the hole that sticker with screw driver. try perform Furmark and see the temps check the fan speed as well. tweak them as you see fit Ok will try first. Thanks bro. |

Just back home after outstation. Ok, update on my R9 280X issue. Previously i reapply the thermal paste using Tuniq-TX-2 (purchase this about 2010 and nvr used. surprisingly still can work). Now idle temp about 40-42C, and during gaming BF3 20mins and 3x time run Heaven Benchmark, it goes to top 76C. I guess as long not reach 85C, good enough.
Plus i have tear MSI sticker on the screw! 3yrs warranty wasted?? Hope this card can last on me. |

Guyz, is it true R9 270X crossfire is better than single R9 290 / 290x?
