Updated my XFX r9 380 with 2GB RAM, temperatures remain stable during games.
Hello,
I increased the card speed from 1030MHz core to 1080 and the memory from 1450 to 1550MHz to get a bit more performance. The idle temperatures were around 35-40°C, and during gaming they reached up to 83°C, usually staying between 80-82°C for more demanding games. I checked the temperatures before overclocking, and this small adjustment added about 1 to 2°C. Should I stick with it or go back to the original settings? I want to avoid any damage since this is my first overclock attempt.

Thanks!
I'm using MSI Afterburner and need advice on adjusting the fan speed percentage when it hits 80°C. Currently it's set to 80% at that temperature, but I think it's too high. If it sounds like a turbine engine, I should stick with 80%. Your temperatures are okay and within spec. In my view, it's not worth lowering the overclock just to get 2°C cooler.
It would be fine if the setup allowed fans to increase more easily and keep temperatures down, possibly reaching mid-70s or lower with a faster fan. I’m not sure which software is used for overclocking, but MSI Afterburner includes solid GPU fan control tools.
When using MSI Afterburner, you should adjust the fan percentage as needed once the GPU temperature hits 80°C. The current setting indicates 80% speed at 80°C, so you may want to fine-tune it slightly higher or lower based on real-time monitoring for optimal cooling performance.
