TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Could be better, but not by much.

Runs cooler than other cards from the same r9-290 series

Doesn't run as cool as I would want it to be. I wish warranty wouldn't be voided if I were to replace the thermal paste.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW

Best bang for the buck in terms of raw power. You just can't beat it at 250$. Overall very pleased even with the included cons.

1- Fan becomes very whiny at above 70% fan speed.
2- There is a common issue with R9 290s in general. For some reason some of these cards reboot your PC randomly. After a lot of digging around in forums the problem was traced to the base 2D core clock. Basically when the computer is idling or under low load the GPU decreases the core clock to an extent that causes the PC to reboot for some strange reason. Remedy: use Asus GPU tweak to increase 2D clocks to 430MHz. This completely solves the issue. For further details look up "R9 290 random reboot".
