XFX R9 380X temp concern?

[Zeebedy]

hey guys,

do i have been running this card for a couple of days now, and its working flawlessly. my concern is though that after running the Heaven benchmark my card stayed at a peak of 58c. and today after a session of CS at 140+ fps when i quit and checked my temp in MSI AFTERBURNER was peeking at 100% usage and never moved above 38c, it stayed flatline from os to the game and back!

i reakon i have decent cooling regarding to 2x120mm fans on the side of my cooler master blowing right on the cpu / mobo and gpu. but why are my temps so modest?

Those temperatures are indeed a concern, I suggest pouring boiling water onto the GPU when gaming, in order to raise the temperatures to a more comfortable level.
