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

You are in a hotel room and you have put a RIG in there?...
You just gave a whole new meaning to the term "free electricity"
What does the cleaner lady say when she comes In to clean up the room?
