xfx r9 290 dd
core-947 oc-1100
mem-1250 oc-1500
coretemp-75-81c
vrm1-85-91c
vrm2-65c
+13mv
this is on air, would I be safe to push my core further or not? And is it a good air oc?

All your topics look fine, but the VRM1 isn't great. If it had a 390x cooler, I'd recommend it, but the 290 DD cooler isn't particularly impressive for overclocking.

They look good overall, but the VRM1 isn't great. Adding a 390x cooler would be better, but the 290 DD cooler isn't really impressive for overclocking. Mark at XFX
