Hi

As the title says I was wondering what would be the best R9 290X card to crossfire, temperature would be my biggest concern when doing this and I was wondering if any particular cards run cooler than others?

Thanks
 
Solution
Gigabyte 290x with a windforce cooler, or a sapphire 290x with their Tri-X cooler.
Those are the best aftermarket cooling solutions (pre assembled).

However, all of the aftermarket brands will not have temp problems if you're not planning on pushing the cards (Overclocking).

Go for the Tri-X it runs the coolest, however I use a wind-force r9 290X and it does keep the card cool, but this isn't in X-Fire. I'd honestly make sure you have extremely good air flow within your case as well

I didn't consider this, I second it just make sure your PSU can handle it.
