Title: MSI 280x 38SB heating
Post by: mtaram on March 23, 2014, 08:18:16 AM
I have recently got one MSI 280x twin frozer gaming edition.

The card runs over 80 C with intensity at 12. That is why I am not able to run it at max capacity (I 13).

Is it due to high ambiant temperatures as summers are here (Mumbai);

Any way can I run these cool. I currently have one Asus 270 x and MS! 280x on GA 970 DS3P. Asus runs less than 74 always.

Try to undervolt your card and get 1 or 2 cooling fans.

I have 5 fans in total. 2 on top (exhaust mode) 2 in front blowing in and one on the side blowing in cool air. Running at 1.05 - 1.09.

Tried undervolting by VBE7 at lower voltage but that didnt work.

Try MSI afterburner , VBE7 is for bios editing.

Done that already but no luck. The voltage doesn't go below 1.05. If I slide the core voltage slider to -100 the card crashes and I have to reboot. I run it at -65 to -75
