Hi Guys,
Looking to buy a couple more GPU's. Power is not an issue thus I am simply looking for the best value. I can get second user 7970's for about £70 or 290x's for around £110. I guess its best to go for the 290x's?
thanks

Newegg has fury x for 253 dollars. If you buy 290x run them at a target temperature of 87 celcius to keep the fan noise down. They are designed for 95 celcius so 87 is not a problem.
Can I ask where you find the information on temperatures for cards? I have mine all set at 75c to be safe, but there is fan noise. I would be interested in knowing.
290x was designed to run at 95c, it's all over the net. At 85c I keep the fan at 66% that mining on an hotel room doesn't affect my sleep. My 290x is the reference noisy one lol
