So this is a bare R9 290/x now my VRM temp 1 is hitting 95c-100c so need to fix it but VRM 2 is fine so need to know which one is which!
 
VRM2 is the one on the left. It is not suppose to generate too much heat. On the other end, the VRM1 (on almost any cards is on the right) needs to have proper cooling.

What kind of card and cooler do you have?

R9 290 with gelid icy vision (It says in my sig) 😉 Just need to sort that VRM out and I will be very happy with it! Temps are fine except for this. Might get a very high airflow front intake to fire at it and hope that helps but I put my desk fan onto the card and the temps only dropped about 5-10c!

It doesn't have decent contact and that's for sure if you are hitting 100'C.
