    It's interesting to see that Asus have switched from a tall dual fan card, to an even bigger 3 fan card, whereas Gigabyte have gone from a standard height 3 fan card, to an almost standard height, 2 fan design.

    Quite like the 3 fan Asus fan 390X, cooltech fan has also gone for a differing blade design.

    Seems they've also connected the VRM1 heatsink to main one plus a base plate to the heatpipes to make contact with GPU.



    Shame VRM2 / RAM is still not cooled, like their versions of 290 / 290X , viewing images on product page for Asus Strix 390X OC edition

    MSI seem to be the highest factory clocked 390X at the moment, 1100MHz GPU 6100MHz RAM.

    I'm hoping Sapphire do a Vapor X version and take the crown for best custom PCB / air cooled / highest factory clock .

    Wouldn't be surprised if the madmen at PowerColor get a 390X and give it the Devil-13 treatment. Come to think of it, I would be even less surprised if such a card required an 850w PSU for one card.

    I hadn't thought about that. I wonder if the 295x2 will become a 295x2, or if we'll just see a dual Fury card

    What I really want to know is will the Fury-X also be available as an air cooled edition?. We all know the reference model Fury-X is WCE, whereas the Fury (cut down version of Fury-X by 256sp's or 512sp's) will be available as air cooled edition.
