Well got my Sapphire Tri-x 290's today, must say a massive step up from crossfire 6970's, did have a moment when I thought the first card would not fit my case, these cards are massive, however its all in and crossfire working like a champ. (Pci express gen 3 x8 mode)
Top card (with 3 screens attached) idle's at a nice 35c with the bottom card @ 32c, On full load I'm just hitting 80c on the top with 73c on the bottom, that's after a few runs on heaven to get things going, so well please with all that plus they are very quiet...also the clocks never dropped a beat.
I may try an overclock beyond the factory set, but to be honest right now they are more than enough, did win a bit of the lotto as both cards have Hynix memory, but the real bonus today was the two bags of tangfastics....
Just need mantle & star Citizen now and Im golden
It's confirmed by VaporX user which is a sapphire rep. at overclock.net forums that all r9 290 tri-x and r9 290x tri-x models have Hynix memory.Well got my Sapphire Tri-x 290's today, must say a massive step up from crossfire 6970's, did have a moment when I thought the first card would not fit my case, these cards are massive, however its all in and crossfire working like a champ.

Increase volts 10mV or 15
When I said increase 10 or 15mV, I said to increase stability, not for OC. That increase is so little for OC anyway, jut to stabilize your card which may not be getting all the power it needs.
True but it may not be about the card but rather the PSU ffeding it with lower amps than necessary. Look at you PSU it must have a sticker for this, look for 12V xxA, those amperes value must be good enough for this power hungry card. What is your PSU's efficency rating 80+ something and how much watt?
