Topic: Anyone using NZXT Kraken on a r9 290? (Read 1311 times)
I bought them for my year old non reference 7970's. Should work well
It will bring your R9 down to 45 degrees. I have 10 on order.
Yes I've seen the reviews but they haven't put them under as much stress as mining and the 290 is vulnerable to throttling one the vrm heats up.
I may just order one to have a play with. I'm pretty small scale and live in a small apartment so heat and noise are very important. Stock 290 can be had for just over $400 2nd hand in Aus and there are plenty of used closed loop water coolers around.

too costly.. not worth it..
HI I am tossing up the idea of buying the ref stupid & loud & hot but cheap 290's & using the Kraken or going for the Trix-x ( I believe that's the coolest & quietest 290?)
Would love to hear from anyone running a 290 as to temps & noise, VRM temps are a concern?
