I tried put few fans blowing the air to the rear of the GC (r9 290 stock card), it help to reduce few degree celcius

Maybe you guys can try as well

if you look my pic i install another fan below my casing (intake ) and another front.. i assume this what you mean ? i hope with 2 120CM fan should help Temp..

nope. i mean putting a fan or two behind the graphic card

my r9 290 fitted with prolimatech mk-26

with 2 fans prolimatech ultra sleek vortex 14 attached, idle 30 degree max 66 on 3dmark demo mid setting haha



custom backplate in progress


picture of the whole build completed with custom side panel (had to be done because the prolimatech cooler is too thick exceeding the case width

modded by non other than ModnGo design abang irie

Bcos Sapphire is the first to release reference card and stock in the market, somemore asus price more expensive.
For your info all asus, gigabyte and msi reference card not produced by their own, it could be made by sapphire

Mind sharing where did you get this made?
Might be interested in getting one made as well.

custom made by Mod'N'Go Design

i believe he is currently the most famous modder in Malaysia, some of his works are featured in pc magazines like Chip and etc.

Here's the fb page, together with his other worklogs.

mine was a rush project, so i was kinda surprised to see how well it went haha

the acrylic was then painted in black. very clean looking.

Ah, from the same fella who modded your case eh.
Thanks for the contact!

oops, soli... typed wrong, its reference card.. erm, u know which driver is the most stable now?

Currently im using lastest official version, so far so good no problem.

whats mantle by the way

What u means by 'what mantle'?

i came across this word -> mantle when i scroll through this thread and is it for amd gaming or related to it?

http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologie...ges/mantle.aspx

I call it AMD's Ace against nVidia if pulled off successfully.

so means A Graphics Core Next GPU, like the AMD Radeon™ R9 Series, R7 Series or HD 7000 Series GPUs will b capable of generating this mantle tech?

out of curiosity, anyone here from stays near Dungun, Kemasik, terengganu?

Not generating. Communicating. Mantle will be used in making games as a much simplified version of DirectX, so allowing game developers to use it across platforms whole reducing requirements, so your GPU will be able to clock high frame rates or smoother game plays, as it makes it easier for your GPU drivers to "communicate" easier with the game.

Or at least that's what I know so far. Might be wrong. But games like Battlefield 4 are implementing a Mantle patch soon so in theory this can allow AMD cards to perform better.

The upcoming Thief reboot in Feb will be using Mantle too and Chris Robert's Star Citizen.

Already ordered the Sapphy Tri-X, apparently Kangaroo delivery seems to take its sweet time when its come to new year.
