MSI radeon 7990 heat

[mikepatton32]

Hi

I've got a MSI 7990, is 88 degrees normal working temperature? I was playing battlefield 4 with all the settings wacked up, then computer turned itself off!? I've got an antec 1200, 6 core piledriver with mount doom, corsair hx850 PSU.

Cheers

AFAIK, 88c should not be enough to turn it off... Based on the fact I've seen my go over 100c tonight running heaven 4.

If you are running stock clocks, 1000mhz - I would drop the voltage down to reduce heat.

Wow and I thought 70 on my 690 was hot
What are the temperatures mid game (what do you mean normal working)
Thanks

Normal, I meant not overclocked and gaming. I'm going to get a side case fan tomorrow see if it cools it down a bit, I didn't think 80s was to high. My old 690 used to get to around 70

7990 is 2 GPU's on 1 card so it's going to have more heat than your 690.

88c max is "ok" i would say.

690 is 2 GPU's on one card too

Running stock voltage and testing for a few hours i was getting up to 90c-99c
Installed latest msi beta and dropped the voltage to 1145 instead of 1200 now only getting 80c under those same conditions. 88c is fine and shouldnt restart your pc but if that heat is adding heat to your cpu maybe it was that overheating?
So drop your voltage with afterburner beta and try again,and try monitoring your cpu temps aswell.

Its normal. Standard temp for 7990 is between 80-90c at stock using auto fan. You can improve things by having excellent case airflow and a side exhaust fan or two. As someone else mentioned you should also lower voltage if you want lower temps without increasing fan speed.

You really should check out this thread below and use my custom bios for the 7990.

If your pc is shutting itself off that would normally indicate a psu issue as far as i know.

What he said - a PSU issue.

Definitely a psu issue i think. I came make my pc shut off benching sleeping dogs. Running my cpu between 4.8-5.1ghz and my 7990 @1.250v 1125/1700. Pc turns itself on and off running the last scene of the sleeping dogs bench. This is with a Gold 750W psu. Interesting it seems to crap out below 750W at about 700W ish.

+4 PSU issue

Which Antec 1200 do you have? If it's the HCP I don't think the 12V is single rail, it's quad rail. So for my 7990 and 850W HCP, I've used the extra PCI-E cables for each of the 8pin PCI-E connected on my 7990.

My computer used to shutdown when I was trying to overclock and bench it hard but haven't had any issues since.

I'm sure the op was talking about his case when he mentioned the 1200 as he mentions owning a Corsair hx850.

Whooops!!! I skim read it and didn't see the line underneath saying about the Corsair HX. HX is single rail so throws my theory out the window!

It may of been a 1 off, its been ok all day, had MSI afterburner open and after about 3 hours on battlefield 4 at ultra etc the Max temperature was 83. The only thing I've done is put the exhaust fans on my case to medium from low. Cheers to everyone for replying. By the way the 7990 is an awesome buy for the money
