Hi,
I bought a new gigabyte r9 280x and I started mining. so it was only giving me 580khash/s on ltc mining. So I installed OC Guru II and in it. I changed gpu clock from 1100 to 1050mhz and memory clock was by default 6000 mhz. Now it is giving me up to 730khash/s. But its generating too much temperature. temp is 80c to 83c. Please do tell me if it's normal and I shouldn't be worried. I am really new to this. thank you Smiley
And also do tell me if this way I am voiding warranty^?

If you have it inside a case then I suggest you open the case and maybe even point a fan into it. The byproduct of mining is coins and heat. Also it does not void your warranty but does wear the card. So when you end up returning the card don't tell them you were mining..  Wink

I've been hearing alot about issues with the new r9's as far as heat go. If adding airflow and changing the fan profiles doesn't help you may be able to put an different bios on it. I don't have a r9 so I'm not sure but you may even be able to use a 7970 bios with less voltage. Moral of the story... stick to 7950/7970 for mining for now they are basically the same card anyways

I'm getting the same results on Gigabyte R9 280X and downclocking to 1050, but Gigabyte has the best cooling system - my temp is 70-73 C. Also I have PowerColor R9 280X: 1100Mhz/1500Mhz, 750Khash/s. Overheating! 85-90 C. It has a stock AMD cooling system.

I dont get why downclocking is getting more khash/s. But anyways, I get 730kh/s on 80 temp. I am not sure if this will burn the card lol.

IMHO This is probably a motherboard / videocard incompatibility. I just bought cheap Gigabyte motherboard on LGA1155. PowerColor 1100/1500 is showing only 620Khash/s now. Downclocking to 1080 (!) returns performance back to 750Khash/s.

I have the same cards with the same problem.  On slot 1 pci-e 3.0  card runs 12 degrees hotter than the other on pci-e 2.0. Voltage is locked unfortunately. I hope we find a solution soon.

Not instability. Some of the Tahitis (280X, 7970) have shown this before, where there's a specific GPU Clock value to hit peak hash rates, and it isn't the max GPU clock card can handle.

i have done that with trixx for sapphire. Maybe it will work with your card. My card is Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280x

I need some help with the config. I only get about 560 kh

here my config
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3334 -u ** -p ** --scrypt -I 20 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192
1038 GPU
1500 Mem.

Big Thanks

bad fan design by me. Lol. So I added a fan and temps dropped from 84 to 74. Is it good enough? :p

Add custom cooling and you should be fine. My 7950s ran fine at 80-84c.

set -I 13. also on your oc software, change clock speed from 1100 to 1050. And my gpu memclock was by default set to 6000. So I left it untouhced. See if that works for you.

Im running 85-90 degrees mining an r9280x. It sucks, but the other option is to not mine  Embarrassed. Hopefully it holds up I heard the cards were Mac trucks when it comes to heat, we shall see.
