This review is from: SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 Video Card 100361SR
Pros:
Good looking shell
Cons:
This card won't last "stock" nearly as long as it should. Modifications must be made to the card to preserve the life expectancy. Airflow is extremely restrictive through the back grill of the card near the DVI and HDMI ports. Your card will be getting much hotter than it should be.
Manufacturer Response:
We are very sorry that you have had problems with your graphics card.
The card that you purchased has the reference AMD designed "Blower" Cooler. We offer Dual-X, Vapor-X and Tri-X Coolers which are far superior.
