MSI R9 390

[tony_ong]

Hi all,

just gotten a MSI R9 390 yesterday, like to check whats the safe range of temperature for the card to be in?

My bro played Darksider 2 for awhile and noticed that the temperature raised to 94degree..

 

[royfrosty]

94 is rated operating temps.

Set fan profiles on MSI Afterburner.

I believe that the 390 comes with a 0 fan movement on below 50deg.

So the fan profile set is way too silent. Might wanna increase the fan profiles using the fan curves.

Set 45deg at 30
Set 50deg at 40
Set 55deg at 45
Set 60deg at 55
Set 70deg at 65
Set 80deg at 70

I adjusted for the fan to go to 60/70 at 60deg if i rem correctly when the card go to the tempature at 94deg..

It was running at max already..

btw non-aircon room...

What kind of game settings your bro set?

All max and inclusive of intensive AA settings? Also note that if darkside is going for 200fps for your 390, make sure to set it lower, as 200fps or more takes up more power, and also heats up a lot more.

Oh. I think he max out the graphics settings.. not sure about the FPS he getting though..

What FPS should he limit it to?

The case he using is a Corsair 450D 2 default front intake and 2 top exhaust with AIO cooler at the rear as Intake..

What is the fan he using?

Try using VSync and see if the temps reduce further.

If AA is set at the maximum, the card will be on full stress load for that game.

Will ask him to turn on VSync and see.

The two intake is the stock fan the case provided. One exhaust is also the stock rear fan provided with the case. The other i added is the artic cooling F12

Thinking if should add a 3rd fan to the top or not.. but then will become negative pressure

Wtf 94 degree , i thought 70-80 is normal temp . Higher than 85 my temp alert will start pee pee pee

i guess its a AMD after all.. temp no fight with nvidia..

now i m wondering if the heat will have any side effect on the window panel..

Hmm not really , lasttime my msi 7970ghz was only 70 when full load . My current Asus gtx770 was 80 at full load

If it makes you feel better, my main 980Ti can reach up to 84deg or more.

oh.. hmmm. donno leh.. maybe not enough intake air or exhaust air..

now can totally feel the room heating up with the heat..

but you in sli...

hahas maybe i shld change the front intake fans to better one instead of using what corsair provided with the case? currently is 2x 140mm fans..

 

[Goodshot]

u in sli leh.. my bro de only a single card.. lol

hahas maybe i shld change the front intake fans to better one instead of using what corsair provided with the case? currently is 2x 140mm fans..

No , i all along is single card

 

[tony_ong]

No , i all along is single card

opps wrong person. hahas wanted to reply to DXMachina de

Noticed that the heat sink of this MSI card the fins are horizontal instead of vertical like Asus's..

i don't think it's air related. to be sure, u can leave yr case open and see the improvements, usually not by much. 90+ is way too high for non ref cooler. could be software? are other apps open besides the game and afterburner?

last resort, on aircon, leave case open and see the results. i wonder what's Sapphire 390 temps like.

Only game, skype and afterburner. Maybe is due to the game settings my bro used in darksider 2. But he said that the option very limited in the video menu.

The top part of the casing also heats up quite abit.

My MSI R9 390 reached 94 degrees on stock fan profile also.

When I play Sleeping Dogs on Ultra 1440p. It's really hot even though reviews say it isn't. But it seems to be okay running at those temperatures.

Just got to tweak your fan curve and take advantage of the quietness of the Twin Frozr and your temperatures should fall.

Tweaked the curves. Hopefully the card can tahan the temp
