Have questions about your R9 270 overclocked 100ª C?
Hi, I overclocked my R9 270 Dual X and used an MSI afterburner. The guide Guru suggests a specific setting: Core Clock at 1050 MHz, Memory Clock at 6000 MHz, with a power limit of +20. Now I can't play games in high resolution, such as Skyrim and Far Cry Primal, which I previously played in high resolution. I experience low FPS and my GPU temperature reaches 100°C. After applying silver thermal paste and cleaning the fans, the temperature still stays at 100°C. I'm unsure what to do next—I think overclocking may have damaged my GPU. I tried resetting the MSI afterburner, deleting drivers with DDU, and installing the latest ones, but I'm not sure anymore. Am I sure my GPU is broken? My fan speed is currently 4200 RPM at 100%.
Avoid using artic silver on your GPU as it conducts electricity. Opt for mx5 or Arctic Silver CMQ2-2.7G Ceramic instead. Ensure the component does not conduct electricity. Using Arctic Silver 5 might damage your GPU. Only nonconductive parts should be used on the video card.
It's generally not advisable to apply conductive thermal grease on the GPU. There are numerous conductive paths in the socket area, increasing the risk of short circuits. Using Arctic Silver could lead to shorts. A better option would be something like MX5.
The GPU requires a 500W power supply. If you're overclocking, you'll need even more power. Otherwise, your case must provide adequate airflow; otherwise, the GPU will overheat.

There might be some issues with the thermal grease; I plan to purchase Artic Silver pads or a similar product since my system has 750W and it's fine.

I wasn't aware that in Argentina I only found Mx4, is that acceptable?
