Wish it was the Msi 290 Gaming, to match my other one.

I guess this isn't reference pcb? Shame really was looking at going tri-fire

according to cooling configurator the R9 290 DD (this one here) is based on reference pcb. Only the cooler is customised.

Really?? Well looks like it's time to get the debit card out, will need to get a bigger PSU as well.

Can anyone from OCUK confirm if it is a reference pcb?

...and is there any chance that this card wouold take a 7970 EK waterblock, or are they incompatible?

No, need to get a 290/290x waterblock.

EDIT: Never mind, sorted it

I'd like to know this too - the Cooling Configurator is based on the DD Black version.

I found this on the net. They confirm that the XFX R9 290 DD is using AMD's reference PCB.
