Before i forgot,

To dare devils, flashing a R9-290 to R9-290x is legit. It's like the old days of 6950 to 6970. Go run to the store and buy one now before they fix it.
Tested on XFX version only though.

Sauce: Success! XFX R9 290 flashed to Asus R9 290X!

Btw, i take no responsibility to anyone that blew their card/s because of this.

just got my R9 290 today, LOL, running Valley with custom fan profile, max 79c in Valley

Coz i using custom, running window mode just to have my AB hardware monitor on top. but other setting is extreme except the fullscreen

this one running heaven:



this one is playing BF4 ultra for half hour:

Some R280x. Only XFX and Sapphire's been included in the list. Other don't know yet.

want to get the cooler. which shop still got stock ?

bro, not going to change your reference cooler?

erm, so far for my sapphire r9 290, fan speed did give some impact in my case, didn't use overdrive since first day, but i tried on overdrive just now, set the temp target to 80c, and try run valley:


However, my current setting is using custom fan profile from AB, temp max at 76c with no throttling


i even tried to OC to 1077/1350 with custom fan profile, temp max at 76c with no throttling


but i end up with 70%+++ fan speed which is super loud, cheers 

sure, i downloaded from Guru3D.com.

edit: u might try go to setting there and tick the unlock voltage control.

LOL, nvr tried flash one before  , but so far see owners feedback on other forums, sapphire's r9 290 seems no luck to be unlocked as well 

but i still happy with the performance, hehe
