Good info about various AIB cooler performance.

If your undecided on which AIB cooled 290/X to choose, Linus sums it up pretty well.

Interesting that the XFX is better than the Asus at temps. Definitely shows that anything is better than reference

Good find Tommy lad. Shame there is no Tri-X or Vapour-X though.

The dc2 still regarded as being a somewhat flawed design? iirc early reviews had it running hotter then expected.

Impressed by the msi tf4 & xfx dd, gigabyte seem to have lost their way a little. Not surprised by the lightning results, a monster card with a monster cooler.

Very surprised the sapphire cards weren't included.

Makes me glad I've got a reference cooler. Inaudible when idle and dye to my case mods, quieter than most
