If the new edition doesn't have the fan rattle issue I'll RMA my card and request for Vapor-X lol

Depending on your settings...probably medium - high

The normal edition (reference) costs around RM2499 or so, if not mistaken. It is loud, runs hot and you may face some throttling issues when the temperature target is reached. DCUII basically fixes all of the issue with the reference card, and according to Techpowerup, it is their favorite non-reference rendition of the 290X.

A local shop in my place still has a unit of Asus R9 290X reference.

How the hell does a normal reference card cost so much?
Was expecting 1.9k plus. Sigh.

Where's your place btw? haha.

Probably in Penang.

Asus, you know la. I think can try Sapphire or even Powercolor (if still have stock).

And yes from Penang.

Aaaah a fellow penangnite. Dying to go back there for a visit.

Yeah trying to hunt for Sapphire or Powercolor ones. Especially those with Hynix like mine.

You also from Penang? Come la, can try the new bridge.

Last time my Asus 290 reference was with Elpida memory. In KL, cannot find anymore reference 290X?

New game bundle? R9-295x4?

If pay more for 290X Tri-X, usually comes with hynix but the price more expensive abit. Reference board and you can sell the coolers heh

Coming back for a visit in July. Maybe can jumps you sifus. Gonna meet Ace and Shepard too.

Yeah been looking around LYN and i can't seem to get a reference card with Hynix memory. Sigh.

Yeah well, who's gonna buy the TriX cooler? Hahahaha. But worse comes to worse I can always buy a second hand 290X TriX.

Plus,the Tri-X(Or maybe all of the 3 fan designs from Sapphire? ) fan rattles.. Might as well start recommending people Powercolor R9 290 PCS+ instead..
