overheated, reach abt 95 Celcius without overclock on BF4 and Battlefront.
That's more or less the same temperature on my ASUS STRIX R9 390 when playing games
Then I proceeded to remove the stock thermal paste
(ASUS use too much!) then replace it with Arctic MX4, temperature drops 8°C. From 98°C to 90°C
Note: ASUS Malaysia allows doing these on their graphic cards
(as long as there are no physical damage):
1. Change thermal paste
2. Change to better heatsink
3. Use liquid cooling
On high load, all 3 fans spins just fine but the temperatures is still at 90°C on load
Hence the reason why I change to PowerColor Devil R9 390X with it's AIO liquid cooler
Now my load temperature never exceeds 70°C. Idle at 42°C. No air-cond in the room
I guess air-cooling is not suitable for R9 390 & 390X
Especially with the current hot weather in Malaysia
