Hi guys, recently bought a 390x and am running it stock at 1100 core and 1525 mem.

reaching around 88 degrees in unigine valley benchmark. just wondering if these are normal temps.

am using phanteks enthoo luxe casing with 2 front intakes 2 top intakes for my AIO and 1 rear exhausts. running in room temp without air con around 34 degrees.

i am also using custom fan profile without zero frozr mode.

iirc, the various threads on 390x here show 88 deg is quite normal under load at max fan. yr ambient temp is also quite high. try testing at night and temps should come down a bit. don't think is your fan setup as it looks ok. there are folks on Tomshardware getting 90.

Hi there,

As per what some members mentioned, 390/X does have a much higher load temperature as compared to other cards.
Not to mentioned, our local case ambient temperature is higher too.
In most cases, it is considered normal.

Try out on your games first.
Any issues occurring so far?
ie, bsod, game hangs, intensive throttling etc?
Then apart from unigine, you can use furmark extreme burn settings to test
unrealistic max load conditions too.
Monitor from there and see how it goes.

Any issues, free free to update us. :)

Try on another output of the card or
boot test on your old card again.
Try do a clean install of the new drivers.
Might have to google around for more info in this.
If you suspect it might be the card,
feel free to bring the card down for a check. :)

Oh, do you have another PC at home to test the card on?
(Or vice versa, a monitor)

Maybe just ATI cards.. not confined to just MSI ones. My MSI green camp card temp max only 65.

I doubt so but it's worth a try.
Any other outputs to test on?
ie, hdmi, dvi
Just monitor the temps over the weekend and see if there's any issues too.
Anything, feel free to drop me a PM. :)
(If you have a pic of the insides of the rig would be good too)

You are just probably thinking that Msi r9 390x is a cool card. Despite even if there is a beast cooler, it is still a hot card. It's because of Hawaii or Grenada based architecture. Nothing to do with Msi or any other relevant Brand.

Furthermore power tune which is amd version of boosting technology, the cooler it is, the higher the performance. Till it reached 94deg operating temps. Unless water cooled.

390x = 290x, which is a notoriously hot card. Use MSI Afterburner to set fan profile and up your fan speed if you don't like the heat (which is perfectly normal for this card).

He already max out fan speed. I can only imagine the noise.
