My specs are:

My furmark test in 4 mins:

Spoiler :

Ok. Now the temperature is around 64-67 degree but the fps is around 6 with 715/900. What's wrong with this =.=? The reason i have the temperature so high is because i put 740/1000 performance of the GPU which are high performance gpu clock settings/high performancce memory clock settings.

your temps are amazing because you're only getting 6 fps...means your vid card isn't working at all...interesting

Reset everything to stock and try again.

BTW, 740/1000 isn't high. i assume you are using the built in OC provided by AMD. I use Sapphire trixx and for benching i go to 835/1250. For gaming, I often run at 800/1100 for everyday and my temps never get as high as you stated before. I hit about mid 70's but not 90. Something is still not right

Ok. I did re-install the drivers from dell websites. As a result the FPS is back up again with 715/900. The FPS is around 38-40. I will add the screenshot later. Im on phone rite now.

@ kirajoker, same bug as mine: you have to enable powerplay in CCC, the card remains stuck at 100/150 in freq.
My 17x has just been sent back to Dell for this issue.
Oh, and you'll encounter a screen flickering when enabling powerplay.

Oh wow =_=. I don't know what to do now. Repaste and did everything. Still the same stuffs....high temperature....

hmmm I have no idea at this point why its running so hot

On another note, I'm getting tired of dells crap. They asked me to send pictures of the damage to them so they send the parts to fix my cosmetic issues. I took the pictures and sent them in. What I got in return is they are only sending certain parts(another media bar and screen assembly), and not a new mobo or chassis. Considering they scorched the mobo and that my chassis is cracked(do to when I dropped it). Accidental warranty should at least cover the chassis replacement right? Come on dell get your act together.

To be honest, the temperature of the GPU is really annoying and i haven't fixed it nicely done. However, i decreased 14 degree down, that is the only best part ive done so far. I will give up =.=. Btw, are there any possibility that the temperature of the environment can cause high temp of GPU as well?

Another thing, while running CoD Mw3 or other games, the GPU's temperature is also around 70-80.
