At what max temps should I keep my R9 390s?
At what temps do you keep them?

Anyone has any good BIOS mod for them?



in general is the rule, low temps are prolonging the lifespan of the components.... (heat kills them..)

so try to get them as cold as you are possible, in the cost efficient way...

my temps are between 52°C - 71°C ...(fans between 70%-75%)

try to make the best airflow in the rig, and place the GPUs properly.. idk how much space u have.. Wink



With 52c and 70% fan speed, you will be replacing a lot of fans with no gain in longevity.
Use box fans and try to turn down the gpu fans to 40-50%.
Anything under 80c will work for years.


are you sure about this? well my is idea more or less the same, that you can replace the fans... They are all in warranty for 2-6 years, but if the fans stop spinning i can get box fans cheaper then if the GPU stops to work. In short, its easier to change the fans, im not able to change any other part of the gpu.... and believe me that i tryed many options to cool them as effective as i can... this is my best result...
