I found them through HWInfo64, the only program that shows them.I'd guess Sapphire. They had really low temps originally and now they don't include sensors on their new revision of their cards.

Purchased XFX 290 Black DD 3 weeks ago from Amazon. VRMs reach about 80C while playing BF4, according to GPU-Z. Not sure what version it is, can check when I get home.
I would look at returning it and get either a tri-x or Vapor-x card. Not a big fan of XFX.
Yeah totally, let me return a year old card. lol
More the fool for you. The Tri-x has a 3 year warranty.

Been running my R9-290A-EDFD for about a week.
Set a custom fan profile that ramps up the fan roughly 1:1 fan speed to temp.
10 minutes in furmark:
Should I be concerned?
Yeaowch at the 109 degrees! That's nuts.
Most VRMs are rated to 125C.
It's nothing to worry about. Two things. 1) Furmark is an unrealistic load that is designed to max out the thermals. 2) Sometimes I think AMD is making a mistake showing people these numbers and should just do what nVidia does and not report the VRM temps. nVidia have had reference cesigns that have run much hotter than this, but because people can't pull the numbers up with GPUz, nobody knows.
This is the reference 690 stock clocks. Anyone hear about all of the 690's blowing their VRM's? No? Me either.
