Title: Make your Reference R9 290 Cooler and Quieter for FREE in 10 minutes... Post by: adaseb on October 25, 2016, 01:14:31 PM Basically tried this...
http://semiaccurate.com/2013/11/11/diy-amd-radeon-r9-290x-heatsink-mod/ And you won't believe the difference in temp it made. It seems that at the same fan speed almost twice as much airflow goes out the exhaust. I zip-tied the end to hold it. Try it if your wife is complaining about the noise or if you want it to run cooler... Title: Re: Make your Reference R9 290 Cooler and Quieter for FREE in 10 minutes...

The faster the fan runs the more difference it will make. |
