Look at the picture above . I already added a fan blowing directly onto the card and things have got better now (around 80/85 degrees now instead of 110+).
If anything, it makes it more worth the time and R&D costs as many more people can afford to own the R9 390 compared to things like the 980ti, Titan or even Nano. More people owning it = more potential customers to sell waterblocks to .

yes i didnt see the photo with the fan, if you getting high temps with that set up i would think better sinks or a new way of mounting them. the thermal adhesive pads are not always the best for very hot parts you should try some thermal glue it has less resistance.
i understand what your saying about the water block but this is not always the case. they had plans to make 280x blocks for all card but in the end only made a few types.
If the can find an 8gb R9 290x water block it is known to fit some model 390x's
as for the budget card bit. in my eyes the 390 range budget.
ever time ppl as for a spec but say am on a low budget, they get pointed at the 390's because there £200 cards
