MSI 280x max temp is too high

hi,
I just got 2 second hand MSI 280x from someone. Quickly ran FurMark on these cards (1 after another, not crossfire) and their temperature both pass 95+ celsius degree at 100% fan speed. Both cards in mint condition, only few dust on the heatsink.
Thinking the heat problem may come from dry thermal compound, I apply some Noctua NT-H1 to one of those cards and its temperature never pass 85 celsius degree. This seems still little too high because this review shows max temp of such card is well under 80C www. tomshardware. com/reviews/radeon-r9-280x-third-party-round-up,3655-4.html
What could go wrong and How I can make these cards cooler?
Thanks

This temperature is fine. There is no issue anymore.

You can't compare reviews to your real life experience in a working machine instead of an open system used for short benachmark sessions. Temperature results are individual and as said before card now performs well with new paste.

Temps Way Too High

Please help me! lol
I just built a new PC and the the processor is 3.2Ghz P4.
It has a Zalman 7000Al/Cu cooler and it hitting a much too high temperature!
The case has a front 80mm intake fan (not bringing air into the case as its blocked), a 80mm side fan bringing loadsa air into the case and then 2 x80mm fans extracting at the back. Plus the PSU has a 120mm fan over the CPU.
Now the problem is that at idle the cpu temp is about 45C but in game it rises steeply. When running 3DMark 2003 about half way it hit 65C. That is way too high.
Now the thing is that when I feel the zalman it is hardly even hot. So obviously isnt making good contacts. Am I right. If so how do i fix this.
I Did use artic silver III on the heatsink and a fine amount so that you could just read the writing on the CPU. What else can I do please? Shouldnt the heatsink be at least hot?
Thanks. Answer quick!

Ah, you seem to have the exact problem I only just got over. I just upgraded my P4C 2.8Ghz's cooler from stock to a Zalman CNPS7000A-AlCu, and at first, I had temperature hell, getting temperatures like you are, but it seems I had just misapplied the thermal paste. I'm using the included Zalman paste, and from the tests I've seen, AS3 is only just very very slightly better than it, I'm talking maybe half a degree C.
The way I eventually found to apply it which gave the best result was to put the usual slightly smaller than a grain of rice dollop of the paste right in the middle of the processor, then sit the cooler on top of that, and give it a bit of a twist side-to-side so that it mashes out the paste. You can take a look underneath to make sure this has given a good spread, don't worry if it doesn't cover the whole heat spreader, it shouldn't, and in any case the core which you are cooling is only under a tiny part of that huge plate. As long as it's a reasonable size spread, just go from there and install the cooler as normal, and you should find it works fine. While this method of grease application seems to be against most of the guides I've read, it definitely works fine (I'm getting 29C idle, max 45C load, in a case with absolutely horrid ventilation), and is in fact the way Arctic Silver recommend.
So give that a try, it worked for me.
Oh, and on the whole temperature misreporting deal, while I'm pretty sure my CPU is measured fine, is there some kind of issue with the system temp readings? I should check my BIOS version, but I'm just puzzled in that my system temp tends to read about 40C, which is way more than even my CPU.

Temps are too high

Using the MSI Z97 Gaming 7 with a 212 Evo Hyper and Arctic Silver 5 so I should be pulling insanely tow temps. However, I can only set the temp target as low as 40 which means, right now, not doing much, it's at 48 which is 20 degrees higher than with stock CPU cooler and paste (and different board which didn't have target temps). How do I drive the temperatures down, I've told the CPU fan to go a lot quicker and it's still too high. These temps are not safe to game with.
Also, how do I change my screen name? Nowhere in registration did it ask for one
EDIT: Just saw 48 was an average across the cores, the temperature is 38

What's displayed on the board is the CPU temps right?
I don't understand what you mean.
What software you get it with?
Quote from: keys.snickers
Going by that, I'm getting 36 degrees when doing every day stuff (internet etc). I got that by altering the fan curve and before that I was getting 40+
Should I just alter the fan curve more?
You shouldn't be worried about 40s or even 50s not even 60s if it is under heavy load.
What is the room temperature, and is your case is well ventilated?

And who do I contact about changing my username?
Not sure about that, one of the forum moderators maybe.

2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 CPU TEMP 90c Too high?

Hi I have a mac mini (mid 2011) spec:
Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6630M 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
22" + 17" monitors
and my CPU temp is around the 85c to 90c degree. Is this normal? Currently just surfing the net, and i think its making my mouse loss connections sometimes.
thanks for your help guys,

If you are in fact only surfing web and don't have a myriad
of background apps running, then 85 to 90C is in fact to
hot.
I have a new Mac Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt
Display and have been surfing for a couple of hours and
have a CPU temp of 47C and fan at ~2300 RPM.
(Note: room temp is 21C)
If your Mini is running that hot, the fans should be roaring!
What is your fan speed?
BTW, the only time I hit temps like that is when I am using
Handbrake to do video conversions, which will max out all
cores available. The fan gets up to ~4500-4800 RPM.
The only time the Mini should get that hot is if you have
something running that will max out CPU usage. Check
activity monitor to see if there is some process that is
"running away" and forcing CPU to max out.
If the fan is not working properly, you may need to do
an SMC reset. If it is not working at all, get it fixed.
So, in conclusion, light CPU usage should not make the
Mini that hot!

Mobo temp too high?

hi all just recently built my first pc
my specs:
p4 2.26g(533mhz)
msi 875p ne0-fis2r
ddr sdram pc27000 (1gig)
msi geforce fx 5900 128mb
sound blaster audigy2
psu 300w
my problem is this my cpu temp is 39c, my system temp is 31c but my motherboard temp is showing 54c isnt that too high? i have 2 fans at the rear of the atx case and 2 at the front so why is my mobo temp so high is it a psu problem i know my video card requirements are 350w but will it cause the mobo temp to be so high? any suggestions would be appreciated. ?(

Take a deep breath. Relax. These temperatures are normal. If you browse through other threads with similar titles you will see the normal ranges and explanations on false NB temp readings.

P4 Temp over 140f isn't this too high?

I was checking out the CPU temp with the PC Alert III and got a temp over 140f. The Chassis is 96f without any overclocking. Isnt this too high?

I have a 1.8A running at 2.52 GHz on an 845 Ultra-ARU, and I too see quite high temperatures. My CPU idles at 50 degrees Celsius, and reaches 67-68 degrees under a full load. My chassis temperature is about 35 degrees C on idle, and goes up maybe four or five degrees under a load. (My ambient room temperature is about 23 degrees Celsius.) My heatsink is making solid contact with my CPU, as evidenced by the fact that when I tested it by putting a strip of paper on the IHS before putting the heatsink on, the paper would not budge. (I obviously removed the paper before starting up the computer, and have a nice, even layer of AS3 forming a haze over the CPU.) I have two 80mm intake fans (one in the front and one on the side of the case), the exhaust fan on the bottom of my power supply which is right above the CPU, and an 80mm exhaust fan on the back of the case. If I pull the cover of the case off, the temperatures do not change at all, so my airflow in the case is as good as it can get.
If I touch the heatsink while the CPU is under a full load, it feels warm, but not 67-68 degrees Celsius warm. So I'm thinking that the temperature sensor on my motherboard is about 7 or 8 degrees Celsius too high. (Perhaps even ten degrees.) However, I have not had any crashes or any instability caused by these "high" temperatures, so that furthers my theory that the temperature sensor is messed up. I'd like to see it get fixed in a BIOS update, but I doubt MSI would do that, and I also doubt that MSI would ever update the BIOS for the 6398 motherboard ever again. X( (I'd also like to see some memory ratios for this board, but again, I'd bet my life on the fact that MSI will never give us any memory options on an otherwise good board.)
Get an external probe to measure and bear in mind that P4's thermal throttling kicks in @ > 66 (roughly there)

MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC BE too high stock voltage

Hi, this is my first post so please be gentle with me
I just bought a MSI R7950 TF 3GD5/OC BE video card which is 960mhz stock speed, but I found out that this card has a too high stock voltage which displays 1.18v in GPUZ and 1.25v in afterburner. I don't think the card can last long with such a high voltage so I want to lower it.
I try to adjust the voltage in afterburner, it seems it changes in the software (the slide did change). But GPUZ still displays the same voltage.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

Quote from: tails on 07-April-13, 22:29:57
Thanks for the reply.
I've found the solution for that. I downloaded the version 3.00beta9 of afterburner and now it can change the vcore.
I changed the vcore from 1.25 to 1.05v. Now the card is running at 1050mhz, 57degree with 60% fan speed, cool and quiet. Before was 75 degree and 80% fan speed.
I'm satisfied now.
Ive got Afterburner 2.31, its allows undervolting as well. But problem is that in boost mode new values are ignored and back to default. So in that case cant see any sense in doing that. Is that changed in ver 3?

MSI GTX560 Ti Hawk SLI Temperature too high

Hi,
Two days ago I bought a second GTX560-Ti hawk (Twin Frozr III) to run in SLi with my other (the exact same card). I noticed that the VRAM temperature of one of the cards (I'm guessing the top one, but I'm not 100% sure) got really high. It got to something like 90 degrees celcius. Core temperature was ok for both cards, a little bit higher than when running a single card but I suppose that is to be expected.
Also when I stopped doing anything when it got to that temperature I noticed that the VRAM temperature wasn't going down very fast.
I've tried both cards separately and didn't observe those temperatures so I'm guessing the cards are ok. It's only in SLi modes that these have issues. I was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to fixing this problem, as right not I cannot play any games because I'm worried that the temperatures will become too high.
It's worth mentioning I have a MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) motherboard.
Thanks for any help you guys can give me.

Actually I got a new case and put everything in and did as you said (switched the cards) and got no screen at all.
If I switch the cards to the original set up it works like I described before. I'm guessing the second card is faulty and I will RMA it.

MSI 280X 3G Twin Frozr Gaming BIOS request

Having a lot of issues with my cards and they run very hot under full load (85-95c) even with side panel off of my case and a 200mm fan blowing on them full speed in a room with ambient temps at 66F, I can forget about putting the cover on for now as even with several 140mm fans in the system and positive pressure my temps go way too high!!

602-v277-26sb1310102773
Please let me know where to get it and what utility to use! I need to have this taken care of before I run out of time to take them back if they are defective.

yes already began that process, they suspect possible bad TIM and suggested I replace the TIM:
Under a burn in test you'll experience temperature levels reach 80C, these are normal temps and is considered within the cards tolerances, 85C and higher is considered running a bit too warm, You may try testing each card individually under non-crossfire to confirm if both are cutting off the system, also confirm temps with both, If you're knowledgeable in video cards and heatsinks, you may carefully remove the heatsink assembly to add a fresh layer of thermal compound, this should alleviate some of the heat to get the cards running cooler, providing no physical damage is incurred, warranty will remain valid, you may also warranty the cards and MSI will fix or replace.
You can use Arctic Silver 5 or IC Diamond, either is suitable to use. Unfortunately there is no information available about the heatsink assembly/installation so do remove carefully.

Are these settings too high?

All I did was click on the Performance 3D in the settings of Clock Frequencies of my FX5600 128MB. I then clicked on Auto detect and it changed my settings all by itself. I did not manually move any of the sliders.
My Core Clock Frequency for 2D is now 270MHz and 3D is 372MHz.
So far, America's Army plays way better and I was even able to bump up many of the games settings too.

Both, but primarily the GPU will generate the most heat, either way, heat is a killer no matter how you look at it. Even if it is warm to the touch, that does not mean it's harmless. If it's warmer than the component manufacturer specs indicate, it shortens the life. As to the rate in which heat above a certain range actually shortens the life is better left to an electronics engineer or a spec sheet.
Do not overclock in 2d mode it's not necessary.
Probably not an issue if you have good cooling in your case and the ambient room temp is respectable.
If you want to overclock, let the 3d detect set it initially and then take the overall speed and reduce it by 5% or so. You may not notice failure right away if your eye is not trained to see the problems. So it's best to be conservative if you are not an experienced overclocker.

Sorry a serious error occured
Thanks in advance

Well my roomate cancelled the memory test after 12 hours, so I dont know those results.
I do know that after removing 1 of the DIMMS, the machine seemed to be stable playing games.
I sure wish MSI would have stated it only accepted 1 double sided DIMM.. especially when the reccomend Kingston ram, which is double sided......
Me and my roomate BOTH bought this motherboard, while my roomate only bought 2 DIMMS of 512, I bought 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now it looks like we need to return these motherboards and get new ones... I HAVENT EVEN GOT MINE OUT THE BOX!!!!!!!!
Any reccomendations on an MSI motherboard (or any) that support double sided DIMMS? I am looking for 3 slots...
thanks...
Any other advise on how to get this motherboard to work with all this ram would help too, so we dont have to RMA through newegg....
Anyone from MSI read this board?????

I do not have Proof but i was at the MSI GE40 launch and tested out bio infinite and crysis 3 on the table
High end games will run seriously hot around 82-90 degree C but its quite a surprise you can run high settings on crysis 3

Hi!
So I already have 845E Max (MSI-6566E), so I have this prob. In idle 46~48C, and on high use 55~57C.
I think it is bad, because in this temperature can't overclock the system, or not stable :(
And the Intel Cooler, (in the BOX version of CPU) so weak.
So 2 solution we have:
1.) Big copper cooler, with least 6 or 8cm fan.
- can be noisy :-(
2.) Watercooling system
- the best choice (I'm already on making )
- quit
- safe
Just Do It!

all day passed and i am a bit tired of seeing bios and bsods
i think i got the lazy chip help me understand it better and learn things on the way.
this is most stable i got.
Bios E7815IMS.133
CPU ratio: x44
Ratio: Fixed
Ring: x39
Vcore 1.25v Offset 0.015V
Svid comm. Enabled
from digitall i changed only CPU Vdrop to 100%
Ram set on xmp and manualy entered timings and voltage and speed 1600
With this i pass AIDA 64 stress test for 30min no problem
cinebench pass
when i open Prime95 Blend test 15min pass and bsod..
Temps were 80-85c with room 25c
Everything else in bios is set to default (auto)
Any tips how to tweek it more?
i tried x45 with settings as above i boot into windows pass cinebench but crash on aida64.
i also tryed just x46 with voltage bump up to 1.28v with offset 0.015
I will be deliding as soon as my h220 arrives and CLU.
Also is there some special USB so i can take the screenshots?
i tried all the ports different flashes also formated to FAT32 and NTFS same its saying no usb dongle..
When i put my WD 2TB HDD it recognize it but when i want to save the Screenshot it gives this message
"allocate file system resource fail"
I would post Screanshots but as i mentioned above its annoying problem..
Thanks in advance guys.
Edit:
just to see if i have lazy chip i tryed 1.3v with settings above and x47-48 wont even post.... :(
found flash that is working

ok i tryed this also
Internal VR efficiency management - disabled in screanshots its enabled
with this i am able to make 30mind aida with no crash temps a bit high but can be managed, i boot into windows with this vcore and x45 but unstable during aida 10min bsod
i boosted the voltage to 1.275 with offset 0.015v and got me 20min aida then bsod. any way i can tweek it more?
