I probably bit off more than I can chew, but I bought the ASUS R9 290 DCU2 on amazon for $399 the other day after doing some research. I read that it ran hot but alot of overlock reviews and such only had it running a 80 stock or 85 overclocked which isnt terrible for these. Now performance wise this thing is great but I am reaching 90c playing battlefield hardline beta, or watch dogs. at 90c the fan is at 55% and is loud!
Check out my setup and let me know if there are any alternatives. Would another R9 290 be better to use in my case? Im willing to get anything under $500. Id rather not return this card because price and performance(minus cooling) are great: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VvDn8d
