Download AMD Catalyst 14.4 WHQL (14.100.0.0 April 17)
AMD's Catalyst 14.4 drivers have gone gold and are now available to download in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors for Windows and Linux.
If you're sitting pretty on a Windows box, the Catalyst 14.4 software suite requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to be installed (or a later version of Windows). In return, the new driver package adds support for AMD's dual-GPU Radeon R9 295X2 graphics cards. The driver package also addresses a handful of issues and offers a few performance bumps, such as flickering in Titanfall when running a CrossFire configuration and increasing CrossFire scaling by up to 34 percent in Anno 2070.
There are a couple of known issues AMD is working to fix. One is that you might see a blue screen of death when encoding with Power Director 11, and the other is that driver installation could result in a black screen when installing on a dual AMD Radeon R9 295X configuration under Windows 8.1 (AMD suggests rebooting if this happens).
Build Info:
DriverVer=04/17/2014, 14.100.0.0000

asus r9 290, my old setup was different pc hehe.... this is a new one with 290
i'm thinking about adding 4th on the right side of the case as i have the option to directly cool the gpu.
To keep your over all PC cooler, yes it will help, if your 290 is a reference model it will help also, not knowing your old case and fan setup the difference could be from a few degrees 1-5C to 10-15C at best. You should probably setup a custom fan profile on the 290 using AB or Trixx as it would probably help most.

I am running R9 290 Crossfire on air with reference and Non-Reference card in a Nvidia Haf-X case.
Reference card on the bottom,case has 1x200mm side intake,1x240mm front intake,2x200mm top exhaust and 120mm to exhaust air out the back.
Adding more fans work good,but as rflair suggest custom fan profile is a good way to go.
Here is what temperatures look like with small overclock on the cards.
Crysis 3 runs so cards are working hard.

There are several third party solution you can use for custom fan profile and voltage control of VCCD.
Here are a couple that are very good to use with voltage control .200mv and higher for high stable overclocks.
Sapphire Trixx
Asus GPU Tweak
Most Popular with voltage control as is .100mv for good overclock and fan control and much more
MSI Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 19
Get the most out of your R9 290 card with tweaking
RadeonPro BETA (Automating 3D Settings)
You can also run a stable card without any voltage tweaking just fine and not have any throttling at all.
Example would be something like this with MSI after burner.

since Gfx Version 14.100.000 Crossfire is broken, every driver below version 14 works fine for me

Hey i have found good cooling test. Apperantly you can have the most effective cooling with just 3 fans, 2 exhaust and 1 side intake, more just provide diminishing returns. Thats what im gonna do !
The winner

Mine only hits around 80 in an NZXT Phantom 820, with all the fans at their lowest speed (1x200mm top, 1x200mm front, 1x140mm rear, 1x200mm side), and my 290 on auto fan.
