You'll be up at the crack of dawn waiting for her, it will make your whole week when she arrives i bet
Congratulations btw Tommy, enjoy the card!
Susan(pretty
) arrived on time and the toys are now sitting proud waiting to take a pounding tomorrow from the wee man.
Asus Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC CrossFireX with Powercolor 290(X)Sitting on top of a modded AC 5870 Xtreme<Beast VRM mod>-yes a 290X running on on my very first AC Xtreme!
It's cooled 5870>6950/70>7970>7950>290X-LEGEND of a cooler that cost £38!
Also threw in the Superflower 1300w and it is a beast of a psu.
I didn't take any card shots, but I should have, it's a very, very high quality piece of kit, it is solidly built(better than MSI/Gbyte etc), the back plate is simply gorgeous, I should add that the cooler is very wide too, and it's just shorter than my 32cm Xtreme.
The cooler-it's going to be very well up for the task, as it ramps up well to keep temps in check.
If you are used to AIB custom cooled gpu's then noise/temps won't be an issue this ones a cracker(only read the spoiler if your like me-Anal about fan noise)
My only gripe is I'm anal about fan noise, as above, I only use AC Xtremes on my gpu's, the DCUII OC for my ears unfortunately isn't happening, so the cooler is getting ripped off and I'll put my other Xtreme on and that'l be me sorted
