Yeah, according to some members in OCN it need better thermal pad (eg Fujipoly) to replace the EK stock therma lpad in order to improve the temp.

Sorry double post :/
But to be honest, 66'C is ain't half bad as long it doesn't reach 90'C
But all and all, nice score for watercooled.

Normal gaming without OC the temp won't be that high actually, therefore i also don't bother to replace the thermal pad 

Hey by the way, does the 14.4 driver have throttle issue? I heard all of the 14.x currently have that problem.

I'm not really sure, didn't monitor properly, btw, other forum said it has been solved.

I think I better stay at 13.12 for now, for whatever reasons beta drivers have always been a bad luck for me.

Anyway, do you noticed your GPU-Z Bus interface are running on x1 instead of x16? I have the same thing too! what gives?!

Eh, mine is showing x16 wo

You hover your mouse to that section, there'll be a balloon poping out stating what you're currently running on.

Take a look on Unseen83 GPU-Z on page 56, notice that his GPU-Z Bus interface reporting PCI-E x16 @ x16 1.1, while ours were PCI-E x16 @ x1 1.1

Test with latest beta (14.4) driver

R9 290 Tri-X quite a beast i must say~
Yes you're doing right, nice score you got there~

Anyway, im currently facing screamyx issues so im not able to update the leaderboards, but will update ASAP once it's back online.

Sorry for the inconvinience caused and welcome aboard!
Its because that no one actually tried tri-sli R9 290, so please keep your "lansi" attitude to yourself please.

Please be reminded that trolling in my thread is not welcome.

Cheers

Are u serious?
2 or 3 have tried.U can go look back.

Wah, score so close to mine, nasib I still safe 

Lol...mine is reference card using Elpida ram, cant reach 1600mhz, run the benchmark for while screen will become black

Quite amazing for elpida ram to reach 1500Mhz. Very rare to see ones that can go over 1400Mhz.

Old Elpida i heard not good for OC but new batch which using by R9 290(x) i heard have been improve a lot.
Btw i saw your scare, do u increase your voltage? What is your setting? I have to increase the voltage to +150 in order to run 1230mhz without artifacts.

When running the test it show x16 3.0, but when the test stop it back to x1 1.1, is it normal?

Voltage +200mV
Powertune +20%
Temp= 93C LOL, casing problem

I have artifacts if I run 1230Mhz on +150mV. Probably leaking problem because the GPU core is near 88C already. Your watercooled GPU core is cooler and thus doesn't cause artifacts at 1230Mhz. From what I saw on reviews making the GPU core temp go down from 80/90C to 50-60C nets power savings about 20W.
