Review: PowerColor Devil 13 Dual GPU R9 290X
We review the beast, the dual Radeon R9 290X based PowerColor Devil 13. It's hotter than hell, demonic and hinted as a disciple of the Devil himself, yes, as we review the PowerColor Radeon R9 295x2 Devil13 with 8 GB graphics memory. The card is a dual-GPU based graphics card that comes with two Hawaii XT GPUs, these two GPUs are fully enabled on all Shader Processors and run up-to a cool 1018 MHz each.

Nice review Hilbert , excellent read. Holly Jesus
105.3 C. = 221.53 F. in VRM1 and the PCB cannot be good for any video card component and the components inside a case :/ , bring in the Holy water to cool that Demon 
, desperately needs water-cooling , seriously ! No wonder is called devil13

Thanks for the review.
This card looks too hot and noisy. If 295 blocks don't fit it, I'd rather stay away from it.

Damn 105C, and that's outside a Case >_<
This clearly needs one of those new Arctic Cooling Heatsinks on the back to keep the PCB out of danger. Even then i doubt it will drop under 95C.

Heck not even a custom Fan profile with AB would help this card. This card needs water.

105 on air is just ludicrous. water cooling is no longer an option with a card like this, its a necessity. lets just hope some people make waterblocks for it.
the price point is lower than i was expecting, and they throw in an ouroborus to boot - about the only way i'd purchase one - but can't complain at a $100+ mouse for free!

Whatever happened to underclocking dual GPU cards to keep the TDP reasonable, i.e. 5970.

Throttling is the new underclocking

Nice review, that thing is a beast. Tho I would go for the reference water cooled version if I were rich enough to go for one

Impressive GPU, and a good price point comparatively, thanks for the review. I'm shocked they didn't avoid air cooling when they're having to include a jack because of the weight.
