Hello, i recently bought gigabyte r9 280x. However i am having some trouble with its temperature. If i select auto on the amd CCC controls for the fan speed the card sits around 42-45C and 65-70 under load. Even if i tried 100% speed while idle i still couldnt get it to go under 39C. Every other card ive had has stays under 35C idle so i am just wondering if thats normal. I have decent air flow and the case is clean. My i5 2500k at 4.3 sits around 25C idle and 35-40 under load so the surrounding temps are fine. I also noticed that the only hot part of the card is the metal bit which is supposed to make it more rigid. Is this normal? Also, every once in a while when i boot the windows it will not detect the card but it does show pictures as if there are no drivers, im assuming thats because of the beta drivers at the moment. Thanks for the help in advance.

Temps sound normal. The card load temperature is quite safe and expected too.
I would put down the card detection down to drivers but cant say for sure, how often does it happen?

So far it didnt detect it only if i changed something like uninstalling drivers then installing new ones and after the reboot id need to shut down the pc and start again and itd work and also sometimes if i change a setting through bios and restart and then itd not be recognised unless i shut down. Dont think it has happened if i just shut down the pc normally and turn it up later when i come back. I havent noticed any performance issues yet, everything ive tried has been better then with my old 6950.
