Don't get too excited about it though.I have the 280x version 2 and the temps are HORRIBLE,did i mention HORRIBLE? 80++.Redid the paste and even tried running it in open case,the cooling solution is messed up.Ending up watercooling it.Dropped to a sweet 45

Im not sure about my 280x ... but the temps sure do get high (sometime breaks 80 for no reason) . Problem on my side or with the card.

I think its with the card itself.At 100%,the fan barely breaks 3900rpm and its noisy and hot.
