      HI,

      What fan % are your fans on GPU running at?

      My 7950 runs hot will go up to 80+ if i leave the software doing the fan control, So i set mine to manual around 60% fan speed which brings it down to 70c that never moves, I could increase fan to bring it down more but 70c runs fine for me.

        woah. that’s a gigantic fan ???

        Its only the R9 280x Powercolor card that’s giving me overheat issue. I’ve absolutely no problem with MSI R9 280X and ASUS 7950

          Fans are running at 80% for the R290 and R280x - the R290 is noisy noisy ! X |

          By positioning the big fan right I was able to get 70C temperature on the R290 which is not bad.

            I used a bitly link for the picture - thought you would all like to see the stats for which country people clicked from.

            Quite an international community !

            If anyone finds this creepy - I will remove the picture.

                good suggestion - my gigabyte r290 is voltage locked : (

                my r280x also by gigabyte can be voltage modded using VBE … when I am feeling brave I will have a try …

                Thanks.

                p.s. I realised that this does not count as serious cooling - given some of the extreme cooling used by miners - but it an idea for newbies like me : )
                p.p.s. perhaps someone needs to buy an old but operating wind tunnel and use that to cool a stack of machines … they would have to be well screwed down ! LOL : D

                If you load the equivalent ASUS VBios you can unlock the voltage on the 290x, I’ve got a rig with 2x290x’s and as I’m not paying for power on that particular rig I’ve over volted hehe, stopped it from crashing whenever I had memclock at 1500…

                  Wow - not paying for electric - how did that happen ?

                  Anyway - do you have any links to the Asus VBios or what to do ?

                  Thanks.

                    Grab the Asus VBios equivalent of your card here: http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/

                    Flash it with atiwinflash and you should have unlocked power…

                      Thanks - I did that

                      Now the fan whirrs up and down when idle : )

                      ok - but I still can’t modify the voltage - any ideas - I am using OC_GURU II by gigabyte

                        I was using Asus GPU Tweak, turn on voltage adjustment in the settings and you should be able to play around with it…
