So the VRM1 of the top XFX DD 290x is @ 116C when I'm gaming.
Should I be concerned of it dying an early death here?
Ambient Temp: 22C
I even cranked all case fans to 100% (4x Gelid 140MM fans in take and 4 exhaust) so the case is getting plenty of air flow.
I even ghetto mounted another 140mm fan on the side to blow directly onto the back of the GPUs with the case open, temp went down to 113C but that's still ungodly high or safe?
EDIT UPDATE:
I forgot to mention initially that I have edited the fan curve with MSI after burner to go to 100% after GPU temp is 70C.
I have also switched the cards around per some of the suggestions and still the same effect so it's not a card issue.
Here is the read out from my logitech keyboard.
I have annotated the grouping. As you can see the VR1 = VRM1 of top card (1st column) was reading around 114C in this pic and the card is throttling down to 899MHZ as opposed to the full speed of 1075MHZ,
GPU temp was also 94C
