Thank you.
As for someone mentioned the instructions manual, there only 1 A5 paper having a warning and no images -_- Which I checked this morning after seeing the post above. The manuals say nothing. And I read them...
So I need a new case, or get the radiator above the case and somehow make a stand. (and buy 4 pin extensions for the Piranhas)
EDIT:
For those interested and have to get the rad outside their case

I set it to 1080p with no AA. Everything else but vegetation Alpha on extreme. My frame rate consistently dips to 30.

Hey Chaps, Gibbos kindly arranged for my new unopened R9 295 to be picked up by OCUK. I don't think the returns Department was happy about it and he might get in Trouble.
However what outstanding service ! One of the best I have received from any retailer.

1080p, Ultra preset no AA, the benchmarks was saying last night 127 fps.
While the lowest point was 95 fps, with ultra units.
When I go home tonight I will do it with the settings you want.
Please note make sure you have installed the radiator correctly. Cannot stress enough how important that is. How do that please read the link above.
for the 295 that had to be returned. 
for the OCUK service, indeed always they shine.Thanks that would be great.
I just ran the benchmark then and the game told me it averaged 90FPS. Can you try the Carthago Historical battle? According to fraps that's where I'm getting the huge frame hit. 40-30fps at best. I'm wondering if it's just that map.
Use 14.8 Catalyst. The score will jump to 5300 range.
No worries. Might be late evening since I need to find a way to set the rad properly for tonight, since my case is left sided, and need to place the rad outside the case on the top of it.
(tomorrow I am waiting rad stands & cable extensions to sort it out properly)
OK. With the radiator below the graphic card (left sided case) and the pipes on the top the whole things was boiling after awhile. (temps initially idling at 32 but after a run on full load hovered at 50C idle, never losing temp only climbing when benching)- Radiator very hot on touch.
With the rad pipes to the side (still below the card level) the idle temps drop to 30-32C. While benching at 1095/1625 was holding at 62-66C, and drop temps every time it stopped or change scene on Valley for example.
When stopped temps drop to 35-38C while idling.
The above with 1 and 2 Piranhas at 80% fan speed. Not the stock fan.
When I go home tonight, rad goes to top of the case outside of it since is left sided and everything upside down. I will let you know tonight how it will perform with stock fan on that position.
(I will try to find a way to make it stable)
I cannot use the Piranhas until tomorrow when I have a rad base & 4 pin extensions coming in. Where I will take pics also, and possibly go and get a metal drill bit to open holes to stabilise the radiator to the top of the case.
That will do until later in the year when I plan to buy new case and go properly under water. (still looking for a case though, if anyone has knowledge of a case where I can put 2 360/480 rads let me know)
If you have to put your rad on top of the case, like me take a look at this product

If the pipes are at the bottom you should be OK.
I have problems with my cards, one card runs every thing fine. But when I enable the second card "4 gpus" no matter what game I try and play, the game has a line at the top of the screen that flashes and I get a strange kind of lagg. They both work fine together when benchmarking it just happens as soon as I launch any game, has anyone got any suggestions I could try.
Assuming you use Catalyst 14.8, what game are you talking about?
(are your radiators properly set?)

Mine is back mounted.
I doubt there is going to be time after this morning that the radiator will be positioned other than properly 
That is so great that I do not want to gamble with it's "life"

The hoses...are we able to 'turn' them where the meet the radiator to make the hoses point a slightly different direction?
