Hey guys jsut wanted to see if I could get some input from you on regards of my new asus directcu ii R9 290x, I sold my reference design one that was a xfx OC black edition because of the heat issues and figure it was because of it being reference. Well the directcu ii actually runs a little hotter hahhahahh. Idle I'm at 45-48 full load after 30 minutes of BF4 is 83-86, my xfx reference was 39-40 idle and under full load BF4 only 77-80, how is that?? Any ideas beforefor I return it to newegg to get another brand.
below is my setup:
4770k / corsair H110
Corsair air 540 case
corsair platinum 2400 16GB
Corsair ax1200i PSU

Corsair ax1200i PSU
Yea I plan on going with a second 290x thats why I went with a 1200i. I got 3 120mm on the front as intake, 1 140mm on the back as exhaust and then the corsair H110 on the top as a exhaust. I have a buddy of mine that has as reference design also and is getting the same temps as my directcuii which doesnt make sense to me and what do you mean by 3.5 stock? if you referring to my CPU, im running @ 4.6

What I'm saying is 1200i can run 3 and a half 290X's on it with stock clocks. It's Overkill! You can run XFire 290X on a 850W.
I got the 1200i for $180 new unopened so I could not pass on it 🙂
As I heard, the 290X is running pretty hot... reference design certainly...
The DCII has a factory OC on it? That may explain running at the same temps... however, have you tried to crank up the fan speeds?
Also, play attention to the fact that all the DCII coolers exhausts inside the case... meaning that the hot air leaving the VGA goes through the top mounted radiator if its fans are set to exhaust...

the directcu ii has the same stock OC as the xFx reference oc black edition does and the xFx reference is running cooler. And yes the heat is exhausting out hte back and through the top mounted radiator. The temps on the cpu are fine with ti setup like that oc'd @ 4.6 max temps in bf4 55-58 and idle temps 25-28c, its delidded 4770k 🙂
But have you adjusted the fans on the DCII?
No worries with the 1200i - at least you have some headroom now... 🙂

Yea I have a fan curve setup using MSI after burner, right now I have it set at 50% til it hits 60c then it goes up to match each temp, example 70c I have it at 70% @ 80c I have it @ 80%. I have noticed that running the fan speed @ 60% at all times the temps are no different then me runnign hte fan speed @ 80% but only by 2c
Well, then maybe you need some more serious cooling...
