Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have an unused reference Powercolor 290 flashed with an Asus 290X bios with an EK Nickel/Plexi WB installed. Was going to be part of an miniITX build but never got around to building it. Pics available upon request.
Looking to sell both - $300 shipped

Yea, it should fit, necere's renders show him him using an ek block, the 290 has to go on water, otherwise the fan gets unbearable. Plays my bench PSU gets coil whine, hoping a single rail PSU will alleviate that.

There's a whole thread and db of this on overclockers. Suffice to say, I got my Powercolor R9 290 unlocked as well. Very reminiscent of the 6950's ---> 6970's which I have two of as well. Right now it's Powercolor and XFX with the most success. Get em while you can!
