R9 290X Overheating

$

Hi,
I am running oclhashcat v1.30 with MSI R9-290x Gaming (Twin Frozer) GPU on Windows 7 64 bit.

AMD Catalyst Driver:
Driver Packaging Version: 14.20.1004-140811a-174673E
Catalyst Version: 14.7

CPU Case: ThermalTake Overseer RX-I Full Tower Gaming Case
CPU Fans: Front (intake) : 200 x 200 x 30 mm fan (600rpm, 13dBA) Rear (exhaust) : 120 x 120 x 25 mm Turbo Fan (1000rpm,16dBA) Top (exhaust) : 200 x 200 x 30 mm fan (600rpm, 13dBA) 200 x 200 x 30 mm fan

Before starting oclhashcat I start MSI Afterburner app and set the fan to 100%, I can see/hear that the fans are running at full speed.

As soon as I start oclhashcat I see the GPU temp rises from somewhere in early 50's to 90 in less than five minutes and then the process is aborted.

I have tried few options like:
1) -gpu-temp-retain 80 but the temperature passes over 80.
2) Manually set workload profile from values 1 through 3 and it only makes a difference of a minute or so.
3) I tried -n and -u with lower options and again it just takes few more minutes to reach 90.

This is a brand new card and looks like it has sufficient cooling. I do not experience this issue while playing games or running other benchmark stress tests using Furmark.

I am using the following commands
Code:
oclHashcat64.exe -m 2500  -w 3 -r rules/best64.rule capture.hccap rockyou.txt

oclHashcat64.exe -m 2500 -a3 capture.hccap ?d?d?d?d?d?d?d?d

Note: I see the following warning:
"WARN: Failed to get ADL Target Tempature Data"

For WPA, I am getting about 195-200 kH/s on an average but since the temperature rises within few minutes I have to either pause the session or use the session restore option to save progress and then continue when the temperature falls down.

I read multiple threads and the solutions either suggested working around with -n and -u values or using the gpu-temp-retain option and I have already tried all of these.

Anyone else running R9 290x have similar overheating issues ?
Any advise is appreciated.

Update: Attached hardware monitoring status file.
