Custom cooler for R9 290

LimitedWard · Jun 2, 2014

I'm getting a Sapphire R9 290 soon, and it's essentially just the stock model with a Sapphire sticker slapped on it (it was more than $100 where I bought it so it was a pretty good deal). I've heard that these things can get pretty loud, so I've been trying to search for some sort of custom cooling system that won't break the bank. Any suggestions?

Something like what is in this review is your best bet but you are going to be spending more money than you would have if you had bought one of the cards which come with a custom cooling solution straight away. http://www.legitreviews.com/nzxt-kraken-g10-gpu-water-cooler-review-on-an-amd-radeon-r9-290x_130344

Yeah I sorta figured that. But a 290 for $275 is a deal that I just couldn't pass up. Thanks for the suggestion

That is a pretty good deal though and even with water cooling you will probably be paying about the same as a custom air cooled 290 and you get a cooler quieter card out of the deal

I also just found the GELID Icy Vision Rev. 2, which sells for about $55. Do you have any opinions on that?

I don't to be honest as I don't think that I have seen them before, but a bit of googling should be able to help in that department.

Okay, well I still have some time to think about this. I just got the 290 in the mail today, and chances are the sound won't even bother me. If I do end up getting an aftermarket cooler, I'll be sure to leave a review on here. Thanks
