Aftermarket R9 290 Cooling

Blaise170 · May 14, 2014

I've seen in the past that XFX does not allow you to replace the coolers on their cards. I looked at their site today and saw this:

** XFX has carefully selected the optimal thermal or fansink component for your graphics card model. We do not encourage the removal of components due to damage that may result in the process. XFX understands that some enthusiasts may choose to replace the original component with their own cooling solution. To support the gaming community, we recommend that you contact XFX prior to any modifications so that we can update your profile and product registration to avoid potential issues with warranty support. In addition, XFX support will be able to walk through the installation with you or provide feedback and pointers on available options for your specific product. You may even consider shipping your components to XFX and allow the technicians at XFX to perform the modification for you (shipping charges to XFX apply).

Does XFX now allow you to replace it? This isn't completely clear to me. If so, is there a specific aftermarket cooler you all would recommend? I don't have open loop water and I don't plan to in the near future (maybe next year). I should mention that I'm running two in Crossfire, so the cooler can't be too large.

You can change stock cooler but I think warranty would be voided if you remove stock cooler.

Ahmadjon :

I'm not so sure though, the warranty statement on the XFX site doesn't make it very clear. It seems that you can replace it under warranty now.
