    Fitting a Fury X into a P280 case

    I ordered a Fury X recently without checking the inside of my Antec P280 case first. Now I realize that I have to rethink the radiator configuration. The front of the case is not an option due to the hard drive cage blocking the way, and I can't use the bottom either as the radiator is supposed...

    Looking for alternative air-cooling solution to reference R9 290 shroud

    I returned the 970 and H60. The auction for the XFX DD cooler's over so it doesn't seem like I can get a shroud cooler at the moment.

    Looking for alternative air-cooling solution to reference R9 290 shroud

    I found the h220x for ~$200 CAD. Is that the price I should be expecting for one?

    Looking for alternative air-cooling solution to reference R9 290 shroud

    I appreciate all your help guys, but after consulting with some friends and poring over some flyers yesterday I decided that it was not worth the time and effort buying and installing a cooler, and that I was better off buying a new card with better cooling and selling the old one. This...

    Looking for alternative air-cooling solution to reference R9 290 shroud

    Nice tool! I've found three cards with reference designs: PowerColor Radeon R9 290 PCS+, VTX3D Radeon R9 290 X-Edition V2, and XFX Radeon R9 290 Black Double Dissipation Edition.

    Looking for alternative air-cooling solution to reference R9 290 shroud

    The weak Canadian dollar means that upgrading would cost me at least $550 CAD. For the time being making the card run cooler would be enough to last me at least for another year or two.

    Looking for alternative air-cooling solution to reference R9 290 shroud

    I've been looking into that, but it doesn't seem like many people are selling used R9 290s, reference or non-reference.

    Looking for alternative air-cooling solution to reference R9 290 shroud

    I've been reading a lot about the various solutions out there, but they all seem to be incomplete or unavailable. With Arctic Cooling's Accelero Xtreme IV, no heatsinks are provided for the VRAMs and VRMs, which mean I'd have to purchase them separately. With Arctic Cooling's Accelero Xtreme...

    New Mid-End Build ($1000-$1300 all in)

    I'm not sure whether I will keep my costs within $900. If I buy a 240 GB SSD + decent MB + cpu fan cooler + new video card I could be pushing $1100. The Cougar Solution fulfills all that you stated (decent airflow, dust filters, some way of tidying cables, Meets the requirements of your...

    New Mid-End Build ($1000-$1300 all in)

    I'm a Canadian building a Desktop PC for gaming (primarily for ArmA 3), though it may be used to run virtual machines in the not-so-distant future. This is my first build in a long time, so I'm still trying to familiarize myself with market prices. So far I've gathered these parts (prices...
