AMD Radeon R9-290X review

We review the AMD Radeon R9-290X. The new flagship product has been long awaited and anticipated. The Radeon R9-290X will compete with Nvidia's finest in both, performance and price levels. These cards are little beasts. As such this in-depth review will cover the Volcanic Islands GPU architecture, Hawaii for the 290 series, we'll benchmark these cards with FCAT Frametimes, Ultra High Definition and of course, we'll check out game performance with the latest games next to power consumption and heat levels as well. This is one review you don't wanna miss!

If MSI does a 290x Lightning, I'm pretty sure temps will almost be cut in half.

From Techspot review:
Update: based on your feedback, I took the IceQ X2 cooler off the HIS Radeon R9 280X and stuck it on our R9 290 sample. Cooling was dramatically improved. The FurMark stress test maxed out at 76 degrees while the card never exceeded 63 degrees in Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4. So it seems as expected the board partners will be able to solve the heat issues of the reference card.

THG's 290 with an Arctic Accelero...
The results are different -lower- from the earlier reference review result so hopefully everything will be back to normal in the how-to guide they're publishing soon. The bottom two are the 7% stock fan RPM difference through drivers alone.
