Title: R9 280x VRM temperature Post by: miztaziggy on January 07, 2014, 09:59:55 PM I have 2 R9 280x I bought a while ago. They are running in xfire and mining at 740 with these settings:
--gpu-engine 1070 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune -30 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 They run in a Coolermaster case. Both sit about 70 deg. VRM temp shown in GPUZ is about 80 degrees. Now I have bought another 5 and put them in an open air rig. I run them with the same settings. These cards start to mine at 730KH but quickly they drop down to the mid 600s. GPUZ shows activity at 64% and VRM temperatures over 100 deg. About 109 degrees maximum. So what's changed? Have Sapphire released an inferior card and badged it up the same?

Then try one card at a time, then two, and so on. There will be airflow interactions, so watch what happens to all the board temps. If you find a 'hot' card at stock speeds consider RMA - it could have poorly applied TIM, but RMA is for before the board turns black and bursts into flame ;) BTW - crossfire is usually a no-no.
