It looks like PowerColor is building an air-cooled R9 295X2 graphics card.
We already know that AMD has built a very solid graphics card with its new R9 295X2. This card is a very impressive piece of hardware, as it carries two fully-enabled Hawaii GPUs, both of which can run at speeds of over 1.0 GHz. AMD has kept this cool with a hybrid cooling solution that uses both air and water.
Now though, there is a report on a Chinese website with pictures of an alternate cooling system for the R9 295X2. It doesn't involve water or anything else that's special; it is cooled fully by air. Pictured is the PowerColor R9 295X2 Devil13.
This card carries a triple fan cooler with three 10 cm fans that push air through a very large aluminum fin array. Moreover, the card appears to be powered by four 8-pin PCIe power connectors, specifying the card to be able to zip up to a tremendous 675 W, though it likely won't use that much.
No word on when the card will come out, though hopefully, we'll come across it at Computex 2014 to see it in action.

I will wait and see before I condemn this beast. It may be that a triple slot air cooler will be sufficient . . . not likely seeming, but possible.
i think you dind't see the point. you never will touch de 4x8 pin power on air or water but with some nitrogen hellium or other type will hit hard and this card will be the fastest single pcb on earth...
It's great in Winter >
Also, they could've done with 3 8 pin connectors for 525W of power consumption.
this has nothing to do with AMD... this is a non-reference version of that GPU, this is Power Color's baby. This is no different then the "kingpin" edition of the 780ti... that's not nvidia's doing, thats an EVGA non-reference version of the 780ti.
No, it is not just you.
I was thinking the exact same thing after seeing the photos.
This definitely looks like a beastly cooler.
With the R9 295X2's 75°C ceiling, I doubt it will be a quiet card; but that cooler looks like it can keep temps in check at least.
Nothing I will ever be able to afford, but I am still interested in seeing benchmarks for it!
