I don’t know what’s going on with mine. Under Heaven Benchmark and 3dMark testing, I never get higher than 67 degrees. Our house is normally kept at 68.
Even with AC Unity running on Ultra settings for a few hours, it tops out around 70.
No additional cooling or extra case fans or anything.
Got a new mobo and installed today. A MSI B75. Card was plug and play and flawless. AC: Unity is running at 65+ FPS with settings on Ultra. Sweet.
No can do in another PC. I’ve got a new mobo coming that should wotk with it though.
There is an on-board video option in the bios WHEN it detects a card in the PCIe slot. Problem is, with the 290, it doesn’t POST, so I can’t get to the BIOS. I have left my old card in, disabled onboard video, then shutdown and put in the 290, to no avail.
