LOVE THIS CARD!

SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 BattleField 4 Game Edition Video Card 100361BF4SR

Pros: Aside from the fact that it can run hot...it's ALL positive! I do plan to outfit this with the arctic accelero xtreme III, especially now since they've updated the product to include all necessary heatsinks for this card. BF4 looks SO LIFE LIKE it's seriously insane! Even HD Videos on youtube etc look 10000x better.

Cons: runs a little hot but AMD has mentioned that this card can run @ 95 degrees for the the life of the card, so I'm not overly concerned.

Overall Review: Tons of people have mentioned how loud this card is....I've already played a cpl 2 to 3 hour long BF4 sessions and not once was I slightly bothered by the noise, it's not that bad at all.

Gorgeous and functional!

Pros: TONS of space which makes for wicked cooling! It looks sharp, plenty of room for long gpu's/after market coolers etc etc. Took no time to spin the front fans around so they would push air directly in from the front, which provides extra cooling almost directly to my gpu. Cable management is a dream. I love peeking in the window to see a nice clean layout inside. Front access to 2 USB2.0s and 2 USB 3.0s is perfect. Has mounts already inside the font cages to fit 2.5" SSD's without any additional hardware required. Hot swappable 2.5" just on top of the bays is super convenient. The handle on this comes in so handy for moving it around and feels REALLY solid in your grip. Fan speed control on the front is great. Pump it up when im gaming and it's still almost silent. Then slow it down when I'm just surfing or watchin youtube vids. Brilliant.

Cons: Instructions leave much to be desired but there's plenty of online articles etc that help a ton if you need any help.

Overall Review: Solid product that functions great and looks awesome.

Zero Regrets
