AMD Radeon R9 295X2 Owners Thread

I think my heat issue comes from it being right at the top. The hot air has nowhere to go except into the noise dampening foam on the top of my case. So I've ordered a H100i, whic will free up space at the back exhaust.

People need to state temps with pipes up or sideways and then temps with pipes down.

I have it now with the stock fan as shown in the picture.
Waiting some stuff to arrive (incl dust filter) to I can put back again the Piranhas and set up the base.


Temps. Idle 32 GPU1/29 GPU2. Full load (Valley) max 56C/52C.
With -80 mV, +50% Limit, 1030/1625.

In comparison my CPU idles at 22 and full load (Valley) gets to 47 (some spikes to 50).

Noise. According to the sound measurement software on my phone, 40-41db. Basically nothing....

Just a hummmmmmm. My laptop fan is more loud.


In comparison my 780 was screaming under load (66db), generating more heat also.

So how about you? Since you asked about the rest of us.
 
I wouldn't say a good comparison was having the rad on the outside of your case to someone who has it in a closed case.
 
Got mine setup like this atm, idles around 33-34c.

Yes. I am waiting some radiator bases from OCUK. Unfortunately it seems Friday they do not ship orders, even if you pay premium for Saturday delivery :(

Turn the radiator 180 degrees. Is on the wrong side according to the documentation. The pipes have to be to the bottom not the top.

Yeah I had a read of the review, mounting it with pipes down is very tricky though and looks haggered.

If you read the A5 page with the big warning signs, that was inside the box, it says that you need to mount it like that.

Looking haggard is irrelevant, considering we are talking about the card here.
