Well too late to get one of these, already ordered the Gigabyte.

 

[Fulax]

Will you be doing benchmarks/reviews of some of these non-reference 290s like you did for the reference ones?

 

[Scooby-DoobyDoo]

1007 clock speed on the 290 seems odd.

 

[Avenged7Fold]

The eastern market preview pics show it with an MSI backplate. Are they standard with the ones we get over here?

 

[LtMatt]

But but i thought stock wasn't until Jan. Lol, good work Gibbo/OcuK.

HardOCP called this a week or two back btw.

didn't gibbo say that he had a few pieces arriving before Christmas, then more coming in Jan. ETA 10.1.14

Gibbo can confirm what type of cooling these have on the VRM's?

I want to put my Arctic Accelero Hybrid on one and if this uses a separate plate for VRM and memory cooling it would save me from having to glue heat sinks.

Stock is arriving in January, just like I called it over 2 months ago, oh how good it is to be correct.

The only one which might arrive before XMAS is a handful of Gigabyte if they can book a flight.

Awaiting confirmation from MSI, I think they use a backplate but awaiting more pics.

fudzilla seems to think the 290 will have a backplate.
