I wanted to add my comp specs, since I’m sure it’ll be asked:

Intel i5 2500k
Corsair 750W
3 intake fans and 2 exhaust fans in a Thermaltake Armor A90 case

House is generally kept at around 22 degrees celsius.
VRM temperatures are 63 and 60 degrees celsius under full load and 100% fans.

I read that only reference 290s should reach 90+ degrees celsius, and I can’t seem to find out what the problem is. I’ve read that a possible solution could be to replace thermal paste on the card?
