I don't think so. The quickest way I found was to search the exact string, so then you can just quickly change them all to 0.

Since the 290 Pro doesn't come with customer cooler/PCB yet, that would mean more waiting. If the GTX780 price drop to £350 or less, then I'd be tempted to get that instead...but I see the chance of that happen quite slim.
it's neither hot or noisy.
unless your favourite game is Furmark.
it was the opposite for me... cool in Furmark and hot during BF4, 2min test vs 2-3h gaming i sure know which is hotter.
I have this card and was wondering if anybody can give me a rough estimate as to what scores i should be aiming to get in the different benchmarks
I have i5 2500 @3.3Ghz
8GB DDR3 RAM
HIS Boost R9 290
I am new to the Catalyst control panel and am not totally sure on the graph to up clock speed etc can anyone recommend a target clock speed for both clocks that is safe? The noise of these things has been massively overhyped imo .. i can barely hear mine inside my case.. it's certainly no louder than the 560Ti i swapped it for.

^On heaven 3 or 4?

Seems about right then. My friend's 290x got about 1340 stock. The 290s don't seem to do particularly well in Heaven.
Ok thanks .. i saw the score of another at over 3000 and thought my score was very low but i can see now i am using a different version.
If i was to add 10% to both clocks would that be within safe parameters? I have a 850w Antec Psu no overclock on CPU or RAM.
My stock temperature target 95 degrees, should i back that down a bit as it sounds quite high, my last GPU would lock up when it hit mid-high 90's

It should be fine to oc that much.
It's designed to run at 95C, so don't worry about that too much.

Using the catalyst control panel i upped my clock speed to 1028Mhz and 1300Mhz on the memory (8.5% and 4% respectively) and scored 1294 as opposed to around 1250 stock, when i added a little bit more to the clock (to 10%) my score dropped to 1275 can anyone explain why and what i should do to break 1300. So far in all tests it has been stable i jusst don't want to push my luck so thought i'd ask.

What? That AMD make defective cards and don't QC them before sending out to a major reviewer?
I'm kidding! I'm kidding!
