look @ mine!

wow thats a monster heat sink, good luck.

Post some pictures of it, let's enjoy!

yes, I've fixed it with hot glue on heat sink.

Hey guys, while ago I got my XFX R9 290 card, then I started my experiments on it to unlock its potential and solve its heating problems, First I've tried to put on a liquid cooler Antec 620 on it, it was pretty hard and I did not get the good results on that just reducing the noise of the...

Today I have fixed my graphics, I've found a physical damage on the circuit, after few days working on it, I could repair the small cut by aluminium tape which I've paste on the circuit, now its runs fine!

Hey guys, Today I've tired to install a Antec water cooler on my XFX R9 290, it didn't fit some how, then I assembled the card again but it fails to post somehow, its very strange, because earlier I've tried to re-flash it with R9 290X roms, non of them worked to I re-flashed it to original...

Even tried with silent mode and uber mode both same results on atiflash.
