I heard that the new R9 series of AMD graphics cards don't have the best cooling in them yet. Is that true still to this date?

they fixed the stock by allowing it to spin faster. (more noise). may as well wait for custom cooler versions.

the 290 and 290x have the crappy reference coolers. Sapphire should have their own cooler out by late december. Otherwise the rest of the line up has aftermarket coolers that do well.

Mine stays no hotter than 50 degrees. Cool & Quiet even at heavy load. Never had an issue with it

you have a 270x, and I'm guessing you don't use a reference external exhaust cooler. There aren't any custom coolers on 290 or 290x yet
