For proper thermal solution in both normal and overclocking mode, PowerColor PCS+ R9 380X Myst. Edition 4GB GDDR5 has a 90mm ultra huge 2-ball bearing dual fans with 3pcs of 8mm GSG-shape nickel-plated heat pipes. The 100% pure copper base block covers GPU completely for delivering heats to the huge aluminum fins for proper and efficient heat dissipation.
For creating one super solid card with all components, the backplate and the PCB are locked in thermal module using the spring screws to pin through the rivets. The backplate and the copper based thermal module hold the GPU for not only balancing the pressure of the whole board but also for avoiding the card to be drooping or damaging to the GPU and other components.

It's funny. AMD rebrands the Hawaii R9 290 series to the Grenada R9 390 series. Its close ally - PowerColor follows suits and rebrands its TurboDuo dual-fan cooling solution to PCS+!
Owning a R9 290 TurboDuo, I can tell you TurboDuo is fairly weak - unable to tame Hawaii, despite HARDOPS's claims.
It is a smart move of PowerColor to only put triple fan (real) PCS+ triple-fan cooling solution on Hawaii (Granada) in this generation. Last generation, they sold both (real) PCS+ & TurboDuo R9 290(X) at similar prices. Poor bast**ds like me got the inferior version by mistake and got FURIOUS. (Pun is intended)
TurboDuo ("fake" PCS+) is only good for more efficient cores like Tonga (Antigua).
Gosh, I am laughing hard. We have a "1998 Godzilla" situation here. Zilla is not Godzilla. TurboDuo is not PCS+!
