hi,
I am going to buy an AMD R9 390, but in my area currently only Asus R9 390 DC2 and Gigabyte G1 and WF2x available, may be XFX,

I would like to know which one should I choose?

I should say that I do not want to overclock the R9 390 and reference is OK. Also I need its 8gb VRAM, also MSI R9 390x available in my area, but I can't afford to buy it now, Unless these cards are trash and I have to buy 390x, though that 390x will cost me too much.

Thanks for any guide.

so DC2 is good enough for R9 390 without overclocking?

All of them are excellent. Just pick the one which you think looks better and/or has better features.

I got Asus R9 390 DC2 and it is Amazing graphic card, despite every forum people saying it is bad card but I have no problem with it at all, very good temperature (room temp ~20), around 65 degrees at full load. and very stable.

the only issue I have is its fan spinning even at very low temp for example gpu is 35 degrees and its fan spinning, seems locked even with afterburner fan curve is not effective and gpu tweak is curve is locked at lowest 20%. I might open another thread for this. if any one knows how to unlock fan control that would be nice.
