I have DC2 290 too and it runs over 90c with pretty much any game using dx10+
I emailed Asus asking about this since they promise it runs cool and quiet but they didn't seem to care.
False marketing. yay!
The fan speed is limited to allow the card reach 94c before it starts to ramp up and doing so it reveals a problem with the cooler. Very loud and annoying resonance.
Only good thing about this card is the power delivery and that EK makes a full cover water block for it.
I have pretty decent airflow and it really doesn't help much with the temps. This cooler just isn't made for this card.
