Hi Guys

As many of you may be aware, Gibbo has been very busy turning lowly 290 cards into resolution chomping 290X cards.
This service frankly puts Overclockers UK above and beyond the competition, nobody else is vigilant enough to spot these niche requirements that only our customers want!

Now comes the best bit.

I have spent my day taking these flashed and tested 290 graphics cards and attached our most attractive watercooling solutions to them.

The cards are in stock now and ready to ship. No waiting for our technical team to assemble them, they are good to go.

What makes this unique is that these cards are the start of our express versions of tech labs cards. Whilst we will still offer the customisable tech labs cards we always have, the Tech Labs Express offerings will be available for the customer who demands the best and also wants it as soon as possible.

there are only 10 available at this price, afterwards they increase to £499.99 so be quick!

oh yeah, and they come with a game called 'Battlefield 4' or something :confused:


OcUK Tech Labs EXPRESS - HIS Radeon R9 290 Pre-Flashed to R290X 4096MB Watercooled Graphics Card with Battlefield 4 PC Game Included @ £479.99 inc VAT

WC-064-TL_400.jpg


Pre-flashed by Overclockers UK Technicians using a voltage unlocked R290X BIOS unlocking the additional stream processors, giving a total of 2816 stream processors. Also voltage unlocked as well and with a full guarantee and warranty.

This card comes with a waterblock pre fitted and is ready to ship now. <br>

Never has a pre built watercooled card been such a complete package! All of this cooling power would be wasted without the addition of the worlds leading cooling paste, included with this package. The paste is applied to the GPU to maintain supreme performance with the GPU block. The remainder of the paste will be sent with the card for future applications.

This card is hand assembled and tested in house by OcUK Technical Staff and is part of our new Tech Labs Express service. This means that the card is pre built and ready for you to order for immediate shipment.

AMD Radeon R9 290X is a new graphics card powered by the latest AMD Radeon™ R9 290X graphics-processing unit (GPU). 4GB of super-fast GDDR5 memory for the best gaming experience at the highest resolutions including 4k and incorporates AMD Eyefinity and TrueAudio technologies to enable expansive multi-display setups and more accurate environmental sounds.

Is there any details on temps / overclocks achievable with these cards?
Click to expand...

Overclock depends how overclockable the core is in the first place.

Being on water pretty should see around 1200MHz for sure, but its no guarantee.

Temp wise, depending on your entire loop expect 35c - 55c under-load when overclocked, 60c maximum and of course in silence. :)

Unfortunately, for any business time = money. So easily £500+ for an air cooled version.

The other problem is transit. Whereas the water block is flat to the card, the air cooler is a big lump of a thing sticking off of the card and OCUK would have no way of putting it in it's original box, meaning they would need to pack them, and with no kind of injection molding packing to protect the heat sink from moving about during transit.

Cue lots of people plugging in their 290's and burning a hole straight through their desk :(
 
I noticed that OcUK have pre built watercooled cases. Is it possible for me to buy one of those cases and then simply add one of these watercooled 290 cards? I presume I would just need to attach a tube? or is there more stuff i'd have to build and buy? I guess it's not that simple, is it?
