I have a feeling hooh888's PC is gonna look exactly like this. Bugger already anodized his Carbide 540 blue. And waiting for 290X Vapor X to chuck on his blue Asrock Z97 Extreme6. ntw

The 290X Vapor X won't be here any time soon, slowly wait lol.

AMD's temporary solution to the 970/980.
Price cut for 290 and 290x can already be seen on Newegg/Amazon. You can get the aftermarket 290x for $400 and 290 for $300 now, with Never Settle bundle of course.

Good time to sell your 290s if u're planning to jump ship before the price cut reach our shore.

Cool stuff, any idea approximately when will the price cut reach here? Planning to get 2 of Sapphire's R9 290 Vapor-X (keeping fingers crossed hoping the price cut will affect this variant of the 290 as well, sub 400 USD is good enough).

There's NONE in IdealTech, not sure about others, Viewnet's outdated pricelist(last updated somewhere around end of last month) still has the 290X Vapor-X but not the 290 one though, they never had it.

hmm actually im also suspecting the gpu cooler was the culprit.. but i cant think any logic reason how the cooler can damage the gpu.. the cooler work very well keeping the card cool in any situation.. in fact my other r9 290 using the same cooler running stronk and much older.  doh.gif really hope this time distro will give me a brand new gpu instead of just refurbish it.. or maybe a r9 290 vapor  tongue.gif

Good luck finding it, I tried, gave up, and went green lol.
