75c gpu temp msi r9 290 bf4 edition?

[jtbr26]

Is it normal that 75c too hot to touch and it can burn your fingers? Is it a safe temp?

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Under intense load? Absolutely fine.

Idling? Well, a tad high, unless you live in a volcano.

Yeah under intense load, is it normal that its hot to touch i recently touch the vents its so hot, it nearly burn my fingers but my max temp in afterburner is 75c.

75c is 167f so yea that is marginally burn your finger level if you keep it on there. Is 75c normal? Yes, very much so and what I would call a really good temp for a stock 290.

Yes this is perfectly normal. 75c on a stock 290 you should kind of expect it

Just curious Op, but why do you feel the need to touch it? I personally would use software for temps.

If you need to touch your GPU for some reason, you're using it wrong.

75C for a 290 is more than fine, especially given MSI's less than stellar cooler.
