Nice Ryan!
I sent this link to Steve earlier, I am not sure what to make of it really. I was also reading some of the user comments on OCN, one guy bought a 290X, hated it at first, but after using it for the weekend is very happy with it, he also owns a GTX 780 and given the choice he says he would recommend the 290X to friends over the 780.
Is the AMD Radeon R9 290X too hot? | bit-tech.net
They're turning out to be a pretty good card aren't they so once some 3rd party coolers come out they'll be better still hopefully
