If you plan on over clocking or adding extra loads such as from water cooling pumps and fans I think you are better off with at least a 800+ Watt PSU. Just to be safe and also so that you are not always pushing the system to the extremes. If you don't plan on over clocking 650W should be fine...

A beta version of TRIXX for 290x support was posted at overclock.net here it is if somebody wants to try it out. http://www.overclock.net/t/1444892/sapphire-290-290x-trixx-voltage-control-missing#post_21375294 I was unable to get into the settings tab. Needs work.

Sapphire told me 2 days ago that TRIXX was up on the WEB site for 290x and then I go looking for it and I can't find it. Hope Sapphire get it out soon. Tired of waiting.

Single water cooled 290x breaking 1300mhz on the core. P18,209 3dMark11 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7488080 In my newest mini-ITX rig.

This is the first time I have done a power out put test and if I have made errors on my calculations please correct me. :toast: When I got my 290X I didn't check the PSU requirements and assumed that my Seasonic Platinum 660XP PSU could handle it but when I found out AMD required 750W PSU I...

FireStrike Benchmark. New Entry SonDa5 - 4770k @4.8GHZ - AMD R9 290x - 12,132 - 11/07/13 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1573423?

Never had a problem wtih CLP or CLU. I probably should put light coat of non conductive coating on the resistors for protection but I use so little of it and the card is sitting flat so gravity shouldn't cause it to drip. I have been playing with a stock ASUS BIOS and the GPUTweak for Hawaii...

Good news is the water block will fit a 290. :) Card is beast. Even with a little over clock of 1100/1313. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7438432 Need voltage control.

Temps are good but the over clocking isn't Most I can do on stock BIOS without any voltage tuning is around 1100/1313. Need voltage control.

I went a week waiting for my EK block to arrive and in the mean time I tried a Swiftech MCW80 that I had lying around and it would have worked out but I screwed up on my aluminum heat sinks I cut out that didn't let the card sit all the way in the PCI-E slot. Didn't realize what the problem was...

Very nice. My 4770k is bare die mount and its to delicate to put a motor vibrating on it. Love the no reservoir loop with the Monster 240 radiator which works great as we have done it. Thanks for the idea. :cool:

The EK 290x/290 block will give you great memory cooling and VRM cooling. If you are going to spend $400-$550 on these cards and plan on water cooling you might as well get a well made water block. The EK is top notch. My little review on mine...

Sapphire TRIXX worked best for my HD7950 950mhz edition. Looking forward to TRIXX for my Sapphire 290X. The box stated that the card supports TRIXX but TRIXX needs to be updated.... Please somebody great update TRIXX for Sapphire 290X/290 cards. :toast:

I barely got this mini-ITX rig up and running so I have to learn how to over clock the entire system. Hoping the Sapphire TRIXX software comes out soon so I can get voltage control going for over clocking. Great card and the water block does a great job on the VRM temps. GPU temps seem...

Update on my Monster build featuring the Asus Maximus VI Impact, 4770k and AMD R9 290x. Look ma no reservoir in my loop! :cool: Main work is done. Finish work to follow.

Got mine mounted in my mini-ITX build and it is working decently with single Monster 240x radiator which is shared with 4770k. 290x prepped with Fujipoly Xtreme thermal pad on memory IC and Fujipoly Ultra on VRM. CL Liquid Ultra gpu die. The block with the back plate which...

I think it is a win win situation if... 1. Helps developers improve gaming graphical/audio experience quicker with easier control. 2. Offers the best graphical and audio experience as intended from the developer. 3. Reduces system process loads for over all system efficiency. 4. Eliminates...

I had fun sharing my benching scores with this team and will continue to do so when ever I have time to have fun and bench.

Wow. This awesome block idea just added some value to that mother board. Love it. I hope the Asus Maximus Impact gets some full cover love. Great idea.

No. Custom double block on Vapor X HD7950.

Say hello to my little friend ASUS MAXIMUS VI IMPACT.

Will be trying this out with VaporX hd7950. Thanks. :)

Peack efficiency for the IR3550 part is right around 1.2v output. http://ec.irf.com/v6/en/US/adirect/ir?cmd=catSearchFrame&domSendTo=byID&domProductQueryName=IR3550 The entire part is more efficient and offers the very best clean DC output available from IR. Its the best part and it was the...
