Custom R9 290 May Arrive Early ? Radeon R9 290X Cards To Follow in Q1 2014
While offering great performance for their price, both cards are using a reference designed cooler from AMD which not only produce alot of noise but that extra RPMs don?t translate into better cooling since the graphic card as seen in many cases runs around the 95C mark leaving little to no headroom for voltage adjustments and overclocking.
On our website, we have found a bunch of people who are desperately waiting for the launch of custom solutions based around the Hawaii chip. Well thanks to Computerbase, we have some good news and some bad news. We will start off with the bad news, the AMD Radeon R9 290X which is AMD?s flagship graphic card was launched in October and won?t be seeing any new custom design till Q1 2014 (most likely till CES 2014). We have already seen PCB of an MSI Radeon R9 290/290X Lightning but bear in mind that AMD never supplied manufacturer?s with enough Hawaii silicon to allow them to produce enough quantity of these cards so these custom boards would be kept bare until AMD hands over some Hawaii chips.
