MSI Radeon R9-290X Gaming OC review 5

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 01/28/2014 09:51 AM [ 48 comment(s) ]

We review the MSI Radeon R9-290X Gaming OC. The cards equipped with that Hawaii GPU now is proper cooled thanks to the TwinFrozr cooler and steadily running and purring at just over 70 Degrees C, that's under full gaming load. The 2816 Stream processor based Hawaii chip will get paired with 4 GB GDDR5 memory running along a 512-bit memory interface. The card itself is fully customized including component selection, custom PCB, custom cooling, well .. custom everything ! Powered through 8-Pin + 6-Pin power configuration it obviously runs at factory overclocked specifications as well. The card will clock towards 1040 MHz bit is clocked at reference clocks on the GDDR5 memory. Did I just catch your attention ? I figured that much, let's go and check 'r out shall we ?

is that a backplate I see blocking the FLIR camera ?
if it is, why it didn't get removed ?

So glad i water cooled My R9 290 these aftermarket R9 290X don't seem to overclock well at all, but maybe this is just a bad card. My R9 290 at 1230MHZ on the Core and 1625Mhz on the memory out performs this. I really don't see the 290X being worth the extra money when you can just get a water block for your reference R9 290

Side Panel- Intake, Exhaust or nothing

If I got 2 of these cards in CF, what would be the best scenario to keep these cards cooled. I have a front and bottom intake fans and rear and top fans as exhaust. There is a spot on the side panel for a 200mm fan but should I have it as an exhaust, intake or leave it alone.

I ask because these cards push the heat mostly away from the motherboard and they are so tall, maybe a side panel exhaust right beside the cards would get the heat out the quickest?
