Unless something changed with the R9 290 cards, I don't know how that's possible. 5 lines of vertical blanking (1445 total) doesn't give enough time to change the memory clock without corrupting the screen. Even NVIDIA cards won't clock down if the vertical blanking/total is that low.

2560x1440 @ 120 Hz with "LCD standard" vertical blanking/total requires a higher pixel clock that might not work with your monitor. Try 110 Hz with "LCD standard" to see if that affects the temperature.
