AMD R9 290 (Non-X, Pro, etc) Owners Club

Nice one, maybe check the vrm heatsink is making good contact too. Cant think of its name but when you take off the cooler theres still the block covering the vram etc? Just loosen the screws to that and then rescrew them down.

Well the paste worked, top temp is 80 with a 50% fan speed. The vrms are still high though. Will try overclocking it again over the weekend

That sounds far better. The VRMs always ran high on mine too but I'm informed that they can reliably run quite happily at 100c.

AMD hardware always seems to be built to withstand high temps. It's not a 'feature' I particularly like, but I never worried about hardware failure.

I'd say you're good now.

So far benching stable

Core reaches about 81C and VRMs at about 85C. ASIC Quality is 75%, seems to be a very good clocker though.
