Hi, I'm having Asus r9 280x and living in Mumbai. My cabinet is corsair spec 1 having 2 corsair af 140mm fans quiet edition and one rear and one top exhaust are nzxt fn 120mm. CPU is i5 4570 plus cm hyper 212x. GPU idle temps are 42c and under load for crysis 3 at ultra settings for an hour or two it reaches 84-86C at 99% load. Am I the only one getting these high temps or should I RMA the gfx ? Please advise urgently. Anyone using the same gfx from.India please share your temps and any moderator please advise me what should I do ?

this is your cabinet right Corsair Carbide Series Spec-01 Review | bit-tech.net
1. Summer season temps will be bit high
2. Ur fan setup has back and top [assuming both pulling air out], what about front and side. Back and Top pulls air out of the cabinet. Need fans to push air into the cabinet
3. Take the gpu and clean it if there is any dust

Well I have an i3 2100 which is of no comparison to what you have. Did you shift the top exhaust fan I talked about?

I have the same Asus R9 280X, and I used to see temps around 74-76C while playing Crysis at ultra. Have seen it touching 78 (on hot days - I don't have an AC), but not above that. In my case, adding a side intake fan decreased the temps by 1-2C, but not much.

Artifacts without overclocking is definitely a sigh of faulty product. Get it RMA'd.

actually i googled for a while and it seems its common........am i right?
on what ground can i RMA my product?
85 degree on full load is a bit on the higher side for these days, but is completely fine. 10 years back, GPUs used to run even higher than this and still worked fine. 6600 GT which I had used to hit 90-95 degrees. And fabrication these days is better than what it was 10 years back. So, you should have zero worries.
My 3 year old HD 6950 hits 85 degrees since day #1, still running fine.

its really not about days and stuff. .every class of card comes with a designated max temperature.
For example 85ºc would be fine for a r9 290 as its built to operate in those conditions but its not safe for a r9 280x.
As for op's problem r9 280x suffers from artifacts.
Google it and you will see.Most non reference ones have this problem. someone posted in this forum too.
Asus was kind of most affected one with the reason being that they didn't provide cooling for two memory cores or something which was causing the artifacts.
you should rma it.
Amd is really disappointing these days.
Even non-reference r9 290s have their issues like black screens and it includes the much popular sapphire r9 290 trix oc.
also I've read that their fx line up of cpus haven't been much success
