I just had a look at http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/radeon-R9-280x-third-party-round-up,review-32817-4.html and was shocked to see the cheaper models of the R9 280x have lower temperature and noise under full load - I could've got them instead, but it's a bit late now!
Why is the R9 280x Vapor-X much louder? I've played Tomb Raider 2013 on ultra and Skyrim with custom texture mods and my temperature was at maximum 67 degrees but it was quite loud. I had a look at the Asus R9 280x DirectCUll and now I regret not getting that one.
The default GPU clock on a R9 280x is 1070mhz, memory clock is 1550 and VDDC is 1256 - how much should I downclock to still get maximum fps on my games but not make it sound like an airplane?
