pure gaming is what I want it for I want to change my CPU cooler, it does a brilliant job, its just to big so i cannot use the top PCI-E slot and using it at the bottom means i cannot get to the pins for the connectors like the power button I was thinking of the 290x and the Corsair H100 or H110 CPU...

Hi Hammer, I have looked at that case, to cool the CPU and a 290x with watercooling its easily a £500 outlay on cooling hardware I may pre-order one of these but its now its effectively £500 for a GPU and as mining continues the shortage gets worse and the prices go up. <a href="http://www.ov...

well I definitely cant use my main rig for mining, thankfully I have the Asus software installed to tell me that my motherboard was at 60c!

glad i didn't leave it running all night, GPU at 86c

I can see why people have a dedicated mining machine and use risers with a make shift GPU holder

So then, a quick question

used 290X for £350
Used 7990 for £450

Or wait and save up more and cry over £500 for the Asus Radeon R9 290X DirectCU II OC 4096MB

I still need a new PSU and will get a larger case for better cooling

I've dropped mine down from ultra/high to medium/high now and its must more playable using the beta cat's

Still get the odd bit of lag though.
