Most Favorable Review

Great performance, Coil whine

SAPPHIRE TRI-X OC Radeon R9 290X 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100361-2SR

Pros: I bought this to go in crossfire with my other R9 290x. Fantastic performance.

Cons: After adding second card I am getting what I think people describe as coil whine. A loud high pitch sound when under high graphics load. (3dmark and Dragon age Inquisition) If I turn down the graphics settings in DA the whine stops.

Overall Review: I am waiting on a support ticket with Sapphire to see if any thing can be done. hopefully I wont run out of time if I have to RMA.

Nice case

Pros: BIG. I've seen some complaints about quality, but mine seems pretty solid. It's also nice and quiet. BIG.

Cons: Front fan is working, moving air, but no red LED's. So either the LED's aren't working or it's just a plain fan. The manual isn't much help either.

Overall Review: Even with a couple of negatives, it's still overall a very nice case.
