First and only? My 2-week-old XFX 290 flashed to 290X and running at 1130/1500 with the same EK block begs to disagree.

Did you buy your block separate? If so, Hilbert's statement still stands correct.

I think they meant that it's the first to ship with the block. BTW, interesting you had it flashed to the 290X - did it unlock any additional hardware or just extra clock speeds?
Anyway, I'm surprised there haven't been any liquid cooling benchmarks on this site yet. bit-tech.net has one, but this site tests things very differently so I'd like to see how those differences play out.

Wow this is going to change the way we look at PowerColor.
But then it's an incomplete cooling system, and only those who are willing to complete the custom loop will buy this.
