So, I've been looking into upgrading to a 290x and have been looking for cards that are more than efficient in cooling.

Currently have the 270x toxic and quite enjoy it. Being a little loud doesn't really matter, but this card over clocks like nothing I've seen.

Was curious if anyone had any experience with MSI's lightning Tri-Frozr cooler and overclock potential. And if it's worth the extra $100 or so.

MSI's Lightning 290X is supposed to be super crazy, set up for LN2, triple slot design, PWM fan for full custom fan speed control, 3 power inputs (?!?!)


Benchmarks are right up there with the 780Ti Reference.
