Yeah, as right now its the standard amd housing/cooler. Nothing special cooling wise so I and im sure others would've figured the temps would be crap. Wait till you get direct CU/windfore/ msi's cooling on these bad boys!

Im deciding between 7990 and 290x also to be honest. 7990 is a dam good idea especailly if watercooled but I am interested in seeing a msi lightning 290x and asus matrix plat 290x

For me it would have to be the GTX 780 as I hate GPU's with loud fans..
And any highend GPU I buy most exhaust there heat out the rear of the case..

Dam you, that is actually VERY tempting now......... i'd actually love to get a 7990 but possibly under watercooling. Doesn't it get very hot? problem with WC is that im a newbie and i've not done a custom loop YET, but I shall in the future.
But that price though...................... so tempting!

The 7990 would be tempting if i didn't need a new PSU to power it. I would also be worried the PCB might bend over time as the 7990 waterblocks are way heavier than other blocks and some people have bending problems even with the stock coolers over time (though those people are a minority).
