Hi, I overclocked my R9 270 Dual X and used an MSI afterburner. The guide suggests a core clock of 1050 MHz and memory clock of 6000 MHz with a power limit of +20. Now I can't play games in high resolution, such as Skyrim and Far Cry Primal, even though I was playing them in high resolution. I experience low FPS and my GPU temperature reaches 100°C. I applied silver thermal paste and cleaned the fans, but the temperature remains high. I'm unsure what to do next—I think overclocking damaged my GPU. My fan speed is currently at 4200 RPM at 100%.

The GPU isn't overclocked after uninstalling Msi Afterburner, the ambient temperature is normal. You're using a case—consider cleaning it and the GPU with compressed air to ensure optimal performance. The GPU is functioning well, running at 100°C.
