Kyle,
On page 6, the last line which says"Overclocking the XFX Radeon R9 285 Black Edition resulted in a 17.2% performance increase" Shouldn't it say R9 290 Double Dissipation?
Why are you touching the back of Card while it's running? Just like the other person stated, the card gets hotter than his car but who in the right mind would be touching something that hot or anything that is powered up. You can easily short something with your skin...
