i have this card and its ez to overheat till 90c >.<
It's not overheating, it's normal temperature for R9 290/290X/390/390X
I had R9 390 Strix last time, the load temperature is 92°C

Then I finally switch to PowerColor Devil R9 390X with built-in watercooling, now the highest temperature on full load is only 62°C

i guess need to wait until warranty end then to add those cooling kits.
Not sure about MSI but ASUS Malaysia allows using 3rd party cooling on their graphic card as long as you don't incur any phsical damage

Go ask MSI la: https://www.facebook.com/MSIHQFANCLUB/?fref=ts
