Title: Powercolor r9 280x temperature reading Post by: jakecrow on February 15, 2014, 02:38:26 AM I recently picked up a Powercolor r9 280x and I'm curious about one thing - there is apparently no GPU temperature sensor. I can see 2 VRM temp readings in gpu-z, but without a GPU temp reading I can't use overheat protection or auto-fan.
I haven't read anything online about this, is this normal for powercolor cards?

I can't see any reason why any GPU-manufacturer would try to save
costs in a such an important piece of hardware. Maybe you don't have right drivers or gpu-z just can't read the temperatures? Just guessing, but those are the things that popped to my mind.
