I am planning on making a new build. I have read that the Tri-X is the best for the r9 290 however I do not like the colour scheme, I am planning on a black/red colour scheme so the Tri-X would just look out of place. So I was thinking about the Asus r9 290 which looks really good to me but I have read the the asus r9 290 has a cooling problem or something? Can someone update me on this problem (if there is one).

don't waste your time and money on color because you will have problems with temps/performance. go with TRI-X (good cooling, low noise) and awesome performance.

Review that shows you comparisons between 290's and other gpus.

I have the Tri-X and am very satisfied.

Oops, posted same link as Suztera. Some good info in there.
