Thought I post this here on 3DGURU For those who would like to know temperatures of 290 Tri X(Non-X Version) in Auto and fixed fan speed. I ran a few Valley Benchmarks 1.0 at 1920x1080 8xMSAA ExtremeHD Preset Level, all runs 20 minutes to 30 minute runs.

Wow not bad at all. Thanks I see memory OC is a big Power VDDC consumer, 1450mhz vs 1500mhz made at least 60-80W more? btw how is that fan @ 70%, loud?
Well I have my computer about 3FT above my head,but its behind a wall.Can not really hear it even at 100%. I say it is about 60% as loud as one 680 GTX card at 100% if I am standing next to it.JMO I do think the card is a beast ,I removed 680 SLI out of this machine and just install the card.Been abusing the card for a for a day,it just runs like a champ.No problems at all. Bought the card on newegg.ca in Canada
I really want to know why my stock PowerColor 290 never goes above 65C, I have MSIab set to spin at ~3,600rpm but still... 4 hours of Metro:LL or BF4 can't raise it above 70. Maybe my press card is special.
Not sure if serious but for fun gamed for awhile at stock clocks and 3700 RPM. These clocks are higher than reference cards. Max VDDC Volts-1.227v Fan Speed Setting Fixed-76% GPU Temp Max-58°c VRM 1 Temp Max-53°c VRM 2 Temp MAX-41°c Core-1000 MEM-1300
Sorry man I did not even check ASIC. Now I went back to work 2000 miles away from that card. I work 10 days on ,four days off with free trip,so I may not see that card for awhile,its snowy and cold may have to hit Cuba up in a few days.
QC manager big construction project 3+ years on this job-hoping it will be over soon to take a couple years off. I may goto one of the rigs after I take some time off.
