XFX R9 280 Black OC Edition Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell June 25, 2014 Featured Announcement, Graphics

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 24c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this. Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes. Load measurements were acquired by playing Crysis Warhead for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. We also have included Furmark results, recording maximum temperatures throughout a 30 minute stress test. All fan settings were left on automatic.
temps

furmark
The XFX cooler is fantastic, holding gaming temperatures at 60c under load. This rises to 68c when tasked with the synthetic load of Furmark.
gpuz
VRM temperatures show 90c and 78c when stressed in Furmark. These drop to around 86c and 75c when gaming.

Valve admits it struggled securing any components to build Steam Machine

Valve has published a lengthy blog post offering new context behind yesterday’s Steam Machine price announcement. As it turns out, the company’s component situation has been dire, with minimal availability at any price. As a result, the Steam Machine is not only more expensive than planned, but there's fewer of them too.

    What kind of VRM temps did you get with this card? I’m a little worried as after just 5 mins of Furmark with stock settings my card has VRM temps of 99 degrees.
