You should not, hence I will put hints in the email, because it is under NDA and price is not yet confirmed on 290 but of course it will cost less than R290X. Just how much is anyone's guess, I have a good guess but can't share at present.
Yes we've done our ordering, these cards run hot but safe, water will give them good benefits for sure.
Hi there I've only over clocked press sample and sapphire, they both did the same OC, I'd suspect they were both Hynix, I'll crack them open today.
Now remember guys no other etailor would do this, be up all night talking to you guys and keeping you so informed, so remember that please, we at OcUK really do go that extra edge.
However this time I do need to back out on pyramid building, were just too busy.

This.
The only time we will sell XFX is if it's as an OcUK value and only then if stocks are real tight and is an absolute must.
Hi m8
What do you mean by this, we can't find anything in regards to a silent mode / uber mode, do you know more about this?
So far I have checked the following cards:-
Sapphire R290X BF4 - SK Hynix
Sapphire R290 - Elpida
Asus R290X BF4 - SK Hynix
Gigabyte R290X BF4 - Elpida
AMD Press R290X - SK Hynix
MSI R290X BF4 - Yet to arrive
HIS R290X BF4 - Yet to arrive
HIS R290 - Yet to arrive
From our testing:-
SK Hynix does 5800-6200MHz with stock voltage
Elpida does 5400 - 5700Mhz with stock voltage
SK Hynix is better clocking memory.
OcUK gave you this info, as me and RJK just spent the morning pulling the different brands apart.
Were now adding some compound as well to the Press sample to see if we get a noticeable reduction in temperatures, which we shall add to our review.
Asus has a warranty sticker over a screw.
Sapphire and Gigabyte does not.
HIS and MSI I shall check later/tomorrow, waiting on delivery still.
I can only coax the cards into giving a little more voltage by setting power limit to +50 and setting low GPU temperature card.
Keep the card cool, use +50 power and the card adds a little more voltage automatically. Once you've coaxed it 6000MHz is stable, but not until the card has warmed up and started increasing it voltages within the set tolerances.
Elpida 5700Mhz is the limit, maybe 5800 if your lucky, Hynix is better for sure by 200-400MHz.
These cards are crying out for custom/voltage control, I hope software comes out, otherwise we shall have to wait for customPCB designs from AIB's before we get voltage control. I hope software comes out as I feel the card has way more OC potential with a few extra volts, even on stock cooler, put it under water and these things will absolutely fly.
What do you mean sorry?
Wow hows that for service
Just checked HIS:-
HIS R290X BF4 - Elpida
HIS R290 - Elpida
MSI arrives tomorrow, shall check those then.
In short, only Sapphire and Asus R290X BF4 have SK Hynix RAM, which is what the AMD press samples also have.
No it is impossible.
Next month they could all be using different again, the board partners probably pay the same or very similar as it will be on contract pricing.
So what I am saying now for this first batch, might not stand for future batches.
Though Gigabyte was cheap and Asus crazy expensive, but that's probably just Asus with their brand tax.
