R9 290X GAMING 4G - high temperatures?

Hi!
On IDLE its about 38*C (100.4*F) to 42*C (107.6*F), but while gaming it raises from about 86*C to 90*C (186.8 to 194 *F). My PC is very well vented using 8 fans (7x120mm and 1x140mm except CPU) temp. in room is about 28*C (82*F).
Those temperatures are normal for R9 290X GAMING 4G with Twin Frozr?

Yesterday, I decided take to pieces heat sink and first what I saw that backplate was not tighten (!). In result thermopads on power section had dust on it (so in my opinion they had no cooling). Now GPU core, where I was shocked too. Cooling paste was everywhere, not only on GPU core, also on resistors that surrounding GPU core, also there was a little stripe on black plate that surrounds GPU. Cooling paste was not properly applied!
I should get extended warranty because of that not-cooled power section and Chinese worker who assembled my GPU should be fired!
After tightening screws on backplate and heatsink, and replaced cooling paste temperatures are normal now (about 86*C), not 91*C.
I was very disapointed, adding that this is the first product from MSI.

  • R9 280X GAMING 3G High Temperatures!

    Okay, so I have just installed a brand new R9 280X into my PC.
            When under load, it seems to reach very high temperatures and begins to throttle. (~95 degrees Celsius) 
            Just wondering if this is normal as from what i have read, peoples cards seems to run at about 60-70 degrees.
    Here are my card details:
    Thanks in advance!

  • New 290X Gaming Really high temps.

    Hi,
    I just purchased a new MSI Gaming R9 290X. The card runs super hot. I am not doing benchmarks. It runs hot just playing games. I have to stop gaming because the card is reaching 90C. It doesn't seem like the fans are kicking up like they should. I also have tried to manually control the fan speed using the CCC and MSI AB. None of those will let me touch the fan settings. Please help
    CPU: i7 3970X
    MOBO: Rampage IV Extreme
    RAM: Viper 3 2133
    GPU: MSI Gaming R9 290X
    SSD: Samsung 840 250GB
    HDD: WD Cavier Black 1tb X4 raid0
    PSU: Thermal Take 1300W

    **Update**
    Last night I was monitoring the GPU usage and it is hovering at 100% load and then dropping back down to normal which should be around 30-50% for this card. I had a 280x that never reached 100% playing the same game. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers. Although I used the new version of driver sweeper... I forget what its actually called. That is the reason for the temps. My fan speeds up to about 3k RPM and stays there but the load is pretty much stuck at 100%. Is there anything I can do to bring it down or does it seem like a bad card?
    Thanks for the responses
    @Denis01: It takes maybe 7-10 mins on average. Not long at all. Idles at 40C
    @Nichrome: will try to reapply thermal paste once I get home.

  • Problem with my MSI 290x gaming 4g performance in unigine valley benchmark.

    First im dutch(netherlands) so sorry for my maybe bad english.
    My system is:
    Asus p8z77 v deluxe mb
    intel 3770k cpu
    16gb ram 1866 Corsair
    2x ssd 256 gb OCZ
    MSI 290x gaming
    win7 64bit ultimate.
    When i came home with my card i removed my old 7970 and replaced it with my new card.
    Put some programs up like gpu-z cpu-z realtemp ext.
    Then run Unigine-valley Benchmark with OC tool MSI at 1040 option.
    My cpu at 4.2ghz OC
    Score Unigine valley v1.0: 61.1 fps-score2558-min fps 30.3/max fps 112.8
    Custom settings at 1920-1080 and ultra 8x aa windowed.
    Seems ok result.
    Now to problem i have.
    So next i did (dumb me hehe) i try OC my CPU with All-suit II from ASUS to OC cpu extreme mode which stress test untill stable clock is found.
    Got a crash bluescreen and then after few attemps stable 4.3.
    Then did new benchmark and my score was alot lower and nomatter what i try my 290x did not pass 60fps any more and score dropped to 2100?
    3dmark firestrike gave first time score of 9655 and after my disaster with cpu failed attemp 9200.
    My card is stuck at 60fps max it won't get any higher?
    The GPU-Z also show PCI-E 3.0 X16@ X1 1.1and when i activate render i see it only change to x16 1.1 i never see gen 3.0.
    CPU-Z info motherboard also only pci-express link with x1 and x16
    My questions is how can o solve this problem it seems my motherbaord don't reconize my videocard anymore?
    Also posible that something with the OC attemp CPU broke something?
    I also try change from AUTO to GEN3 in bios but then i get a blackscreen when i boot up it stays backscreen, have to change it switch videocards so i can see my boot again and go into BIOS.
    Im at a lost here, hope one of you know a solution or whats my problem?
    Hope ive supply enough info im bit of a newbie at this sorry for that.
    Thanks in advance.

    >>Clear CMOS<< of your board and retry.

  • [REQUEST] Latest VBIOS R9 290X GAMING 8G

    Hey there...
    just want to know if I'm using the lastest VBIOS for my R9 290X GAMING 8G Card, cause since latest LiveUpdate - Update it tells me my Card isn't supported.
    S/N: 602 - V308 - 24SB1412086611.
    My VBIOS is attached.
    Thanks in advance.

    My system isn't a typical Gaming PC, its a Dell Precision T7810 high performance workstation. (I use a second card (AMD FirePro W7100) for professional use and the R9 290X for gaming purposes)
    So it's also a Dell Mainboard (there is no real model-no. for it)
    Nevertheless see this link for more information about the mainboard:

  • High temperature problems with macbook pro 13"

    hello all
    it is my first macbook pro i am new on macOS, i i bought it since 5 months at Appel store
    MacBook Pro
    Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014
    Processor  2.6 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  Intel Iris 1536 MB
    Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
    however i remark when i play on Facebook game like criminal case or show video on youtube it seems that my laptop gets high temperature and my battery runs out quickly,  is it normal behaviour ? i need advise there are any application can show me what internal temperature of my laptop ? what can i do to resolve this situation 

    is it normal behaviour ?
    Yes. Videos are processor-intensive actions, and gaming is even more so.
    There is nothing you need to do, other than provide adequate air circulation so that the MBP can dissipate heat properly. The aluminum case is specifically designed to do that, so it's normal for it to feel quite warm. Don't use cases or "skins" because they will impede heat dissipation, and don't be tempted to install some clever hack to make its exhaust fan run faster. That will just draw more needless dust inside.
    If the MBP gets too hot it will reduce its processor load automatically, and if that fails to reduce its temperature it will simply shut down on its own.
    You should consider upgrading to Yosemite. It's completely subjective but all my portable Macs seem to run cooler with Yosemite than they did with Mavericks. Their battery life is much greater though. That's not subjective, I measured it. If the battery life is greater they are almost certainly running cooler.
    Back up your Mac prior to upgrading OS X, as a precaution against the unexpected. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.

  • Is the high temperature worrying you?

    Many of you have been worrying about the high temperature while gaming, and same here. Friend of mine saw this post from one of the notebook specialized forum in China, and there is an amazing guy sharing this special EC firmware which he says that it can help to lower the temperature.
    We have tried it on my friend's GS70 2PE and the result is really good! It lowers the temperature and the performance doesn't have much differences comparing with the original firmware. He is really happy with the result even though he doesn’t want to try at the beginning. The coolest thing of this is that you get to switch it back so easily anytime just by pressing “Fn+F7”("Cooler Boost button" for GE60/GE70).
    Make sure you get the right model of the download link:
    GE60 2PC/GE60 2PE
    GE70 2PC/GE60 2PE
    GS60 2PC/GS60 2PE
    GS70 2PC/GS70 2PE
    Original post from: http://benyouhui.it168.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5300759&page=1&extra=#pid32571812

    now if I only could read Chinese and see what they said in the original thread haha. What is the temperature difference with this EC?

  • Satellite P300D-10V - Turn off by high temperature

    Hi!
    I have a TOSHIBA Satellite P300D-10V and I have a problem with overheating! When I load my CPU with 2,2 GHz for a long time, it turn off by high temperature!
    What must be my solution about this problem?
    "Normal" temperature for my laptop is around 70 - 75 degrees cslsius! Is it normal for this CPU?
    I have used another laptop with Intel CPU and there is no such problem! My Toshiba is in use for 2 years! OS Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit
    REGARDS!

    Hi alexander79,
    First of all you should know that cleaning the fan is not covered by warranty!!! Of course you can do this from an authorized service provider but for this service you have to pay, its not free!
    More detailed instructions you can find in this how to article from Toshiba:
    [How to clean the cooling system of a Toshiba notebook? |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]
    As you can read, the notebook should be cleaned every 3-4 months and believe me, you will be very surprised how much dust come out ;)
    Last but not least its also important that you only use display drivers from Toshiba.
    I had also a problem with overheating and this was caused due a wrong display driver (I used the drivers from nVidia page). They are not pretested and dont have an overheat protection The result was overheating and turning off.
    After installation of Toshiba display driver the problem was solved.

  • Poor battery life and high temperatures on MacBook Pro Retina 15"

    I'm having never-ending problems with poor battery life and high temperatures on a MacBook Pro Retina 15"
    I took it in for service and they told me it needed a new logic board and replaced it.  When I asked why they were vague about the reasons, they said "it just needed one, it failed some test".  I now have the computer back and it runs the same way it always did.  I bought this laptop because it was supposedly capable of high end video editing in 1080P (or so Apple's website claims) and also photo editing. 
    "The processor, graphics, all-flash architecture, memory, and display in the 15-inch MacBook Pro give you unprecedented mobile video editing capabilities. Super-responsive flash storage delivers up to nine streams of 1080p ProRes (HQ) content for multicam editing in Final Cut Pro X,3 while the latest quad-core processors on the 15-inch MacBook Pro decode multiple streams of video, and a powerful GPU renders millions of pixels onto the screen. With flash storage that offers up to four times the performance of a traditional hard drive,1 you can even edit four streams of uncompressed 8-bit 1080p HD video, right from the internal storage on your 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display.4"
    However, when I'm just browsing the web and emailing it runs quite warm and battery life is quite poor.  Sometimes doing those same activities I would say it gets so warm it's almost uncomfortable to have on your lap and the fans are running fast enough to become noticably noisy.  I'm also driving only one screen at and a time and I heard that the MacBook Pro can supposedly do three screens.
    If actually try to do something like video editing with final cut pro the laptop gets really hot, the fans are on full blast and battery life drops to only an hour or two.  I think when I rendered just a 3 or 4 minute clip once I got less than hour of battery life.  I will have to time again.
    Anyway most people (including the sales guys) are telling me no way this is not normal.  When I play with demos in the store browsing the web they are not getting warm or hot to the touch.  My friend's 2013 MacBook Air is also NOT getting warm to the touch doing the same activities.
    I installed iStat Pro so I could check the temperature and fan speeds.  I'm seeing temperatures of 70+ on the GPU, 85+ on the GPU diode and 65+ on the CPU heatsink along with elvated fan speeds above 5K which becomes noticeably noisy.  I understand that might be normal for the most processor intensive tasks but it really doesn't seem right for just light web browsing and e-mailing.  (I also may have viber and skype open but that shouldn't matter).  CPU usage is usually running between 2-10% as this is all happening to.
    Furthermore, straight from the specs:
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory and  automatic graphics switching
    I am assume "GPU" and "GPU diode" are temp measurements on the discrenete NVIDIA video card, especially since MacBook Airs from the same and newer generatio do not have this reading.  Since Apple Claims the graphics "automatically switches" it seems all the harder to believe the GPU is reaching 85+ when in theory it shouldn't even be activated.  I mean, shouldn't the INtel HD Graphics 4000 be capable of simple web browsing and e-mailing?  Especially with only one screen activated (be it it the internal or an external)?
    What should I do here?  When I asked the repair guys "OK well what is the normal operating temp range for the various sensors" they said "Sorry Apple doesn't provide that info". 

    Yes I have.
    Just web browsing and basically doing nothing I'm hear a lot of aduible fans, I'm getting 85C+ on GPU diode, 65+ on cpu heatsink.  I since installed anohter program that shows me not just the CPU heatsink but the cores and the cores are at 90C+.
    Seems like a lot of heat for doing nothing.  Not only that but I have these problems with no external monitor while on battery power too.
    I don't know what to do.  They already replaced the logic board.  Others seem to get advertised battery life out of Apple products and not have products that get **** near hot enough to burn you while just web browsing or watching a movie let alone advertised tasks like Photoshop and Final Cut Pro.

  • Mbp late 2014 very high temperature at internet videos

    Hello,
    I bought an MacBook Pro 13" about 3 weeks ago. After some time, I noticed that the Macbook got very hot while watching videos online. I installed "Istat menu" for reading the temperature sensor's values. When i watch videos online (e.g youtube/facebook) the temperature goes up to about 90°C in only a few seconds-a minute. Since you can track apps with higher energy consumptions in yosemite (10.10.1) i looked into the activity monitor and it said the webbrowser (tested with safari and chrome) consumed up to +300 units. If i set the fan to turn on max RPM and hold the MB completely up, i get the temperature down to about 60°C, until i close the youtube/facebook tab completely. Amazon prime video in 1080p works without getting hot at all, even when the Macbook rests on a blanket. Sometimes even spotify (not even playing music, just running in the background) causes high temperatures, but AutoCAD and other programs work "regularly", without the MBP getting hot..
    That circumstances really disturb the useability, because almost cant watch videos at all!
    I ran the "Apple hardware test" (pressing "D" while startup), which did not give any problems/errors.
    Is this a Yosemite problem or a hardware problem?
    sincerely ttopueth.

    ttopueth wrote:

    Neither.  Some videos will produce temperature in the 90°c range.  That actually is 'normal' and is not dangerous to your MBP.  There are thermal shutdown provisions that will prevent the MBP from committing Hari Kari.  If you wish, get a cooling pad to lower the temperature a touch.
    Ciao.

  • MacBook Pro (mid 2012) reaches quite high temperatures. Is this normal?

    I'm currently using a mid 2012 Macbook Pro with the 15" high resolution screen add-on (it's the model that was released alongside the new retina versions). The processor is a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7.
    I've seen a lot of claims about MacBooks running at high temperatures, but I've hardly seen numbers as high as mine. I've had my MacBook reach 100 °C (212 °F) up to 105 °C (221 °F) in some situations (such as when compiling software). I've seen 105 °C being reported as a critical temperature at which the system might decide to shut down to protect itself, so I'm worried that this might be an unnatural temperature and that it might be affecting the lifespan of my PC.
    I've also experienced cases where, while being on charge but idle (or running non-intensive tasks such as text editing or watching non-HD videos), the PC would at some point begin spinning the fans to very high speeds and reaching temperatures between 85 °C (185 °F) and 95 °C (203 °F). The aluminum body of the computer gets very hot (especially near the hinge where the screen is attached) and in some cases my fingers can feel the unconfortable temperature even when just typing on the keys. I should note that this is happening during the summer, during which the temperatures outside float around 32 °C (89 °F), but I'm still worried it could keep happening later on during the year.
    My warranty is expiring in a month so I'm wondering whether I should get my pc checked before it's over.
    What do you think about these temperatures? Is there anything I should worry about? Should I contact Apple?

    You can ship your MBP for examination and servicing by contacting Apple, but you will be without the MBP for a period of time.  First determine you warranty status:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Create a time line of MUST dates for shipping and/or a trip to an Apple store. 
    In the interim, lets see if we can do something positive.  In addition to what I suggested earlier, run an Apple Hardware test:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
    You may have to use OPTION D to start it.
    Ciao.

  • High temperature after suspend to RAM with linux-3.9.2-1.

    After the update to linux-3.9.2-1 my laptop works on higher temperature after resuming from suspend to RAM. Works fine with linux 3.8.7-1.
    Normal working temperature is 47~49 degrees Celsius and after resuming it is 59~61. It's not just a false temperature reading. I can actually feel the laptop warmer, and the CPU fun spins up.
    I can't see any CPU high load. I tend to believe that the temperature rise has to do with the Intel GPU driver (i915). My CPU has an integrated GPU.
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz
    VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
    cmdline:
    i915.semaphores=1 i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 aspm_force=true acpi_backlight=vendor intel_pstate=disable
    Anyone noticed something similar?
    Ways to debug it? Apart from kernel GIT bisect.

    I got the impression myself, that all the i915 downclock tweaks have been getting counterproductive over time as the driver got better.
    Be sure to give the new pstate another go. I had problems too with the upgrade to 3.9.x and the powersave governor. Enabling "performance" in cpupower only and letting intel_pstate manage the idling on its own had an awesome effect. I only have rc6=1 and "sna" accel along with it on a similar cpu. Resuming with fan off.

  • Msi 290X Gaming Bios question?

    I just got a used 290X Gaming for $350 off Amazon. Do the 290X boards usually already come with a UEFI bios or will I have to request it?
    Thanks....

    The 4G Gamings Bios switch is at the top of the card near the external connectors, the uefi mode bios is the "2" position on the switch, which is toward the rear/power connectors position. Its a pretty tiny switch so make sure your careful and have a good light.
