Yep thats right, two r9 290 (probably same as 290x?) heatsinks and fans.
If your running air cooling and your worried your gona burn your fan out then these would be great for you.

I have a missus that moaned about the noise from the previous rig, so when I bought my two r9 290's I got two closed loop watercoolers

72C and no messing.

So the old heatsinks are here for you to buy

or they go on ebay within 48 hours


with all my other tat!

G

as usuall, BTC, paypal, litecoin.

lotsa love Smiley xxxx

Is the heatsink contact flat or diagnol?

Hmmm.  Does that make any sense?

Does the chip contact look at the top or the bottom?

I see!
Id say the chip contact looks like the top, but the contact area of the gpu is horizonal.
so its like the top, but not.
Sorry about that.


How about a picture?

Nice.

Let me know in the morning.  I assume you are somewhere inconvenient for shipping to the US?
