r9 290 question

[phaddie]

Hey guys,

  I run my r9 290 at 1000 core and 1500 mem. I get 860Kh/s so I am happy.  To get this the gpu is at around 88 degrees ad fan usually sits at about 67%.

  Are these safe parameters for this card or am I killing it quickly to juice a few extra hashes out of it?

   Phad.

i have 4 290x atm and my hottest one is 89c and coldest is 67c
my specs are int 19 mem 1500 core 980 with no undervolting
been running almost 24/7 for over a month now with no issues to the cards, however no matter what anyone says theres no real way to know just what each card can be expected to do or how long they will last but ROI for each card for me has been 3-4 weeks thus far, so far ive only paid for 2 cards so 2 cards left until i start getting profit from my mining.

if i were you i would either look into optimizing my cooling(put a fan next to your card or something of the sorts) or if you are optimized i would let it ride and just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesnt hit the 94c mark.
