Damnit AMD stop being so clever.
This is hilarious.

I've now been burned with Crossfire for 6970, 7970, 290/290X...and yet I'm still interested in this card. Toyz.
Ha, I probably wait for the 790, if anything. Still really trying to wait for Maxwell until doing anything else.
I don't see how a single 120mm radiator can cool 2 290x's.
Again, if the card only has 2x 8pin connectors as pictures seem to indicate it could possibly mean a 375w TDP which is quite intriguing to say the least.
So it's a dual 290x clocked @ 300 MHz then?

Pretty much. That or it would have to be a respun/new stepping with some major gains in power draw.
looks like the air cooling will be for pcb and vrm, vrams.
It looks like the h60 or equivalent which can hardly cool an overclocked i7 <200W wil be handling 400W+, am i missing something?
I'm sure that if they tested it thoroughly up to 1GHz (and some "slight" overclocking), this cooling setup is more than adequate.I don't see how a single 120mm radiator can cool 2 290x's.
Joke's on you, those are all XFX. lol
Just guessing, it might work like this:
(ASUS Poseidon)

The point being a heatsink (or 2 separate heatsinks) on the GPU's with a fan blowing on it makes a single 120mm much more viable.Tainted, have you ever water cooled? You normally want 120mm of rad per item in a custom loop, minimum. So with 2 GPU chips you ideally want 240mm of rad, If not more. Most guys with custom loops do bigger rads, although that quickly becomes a cost benefit type of issue. I'm sure that's what verylost is referring to, and the asus Poiseden isn't an apples to apples comparison. That is one GPU while the 295X2 would be 2 GPU chips. But I do think a 120mm rad could work, but the temps obviously will not be as good as a custom loop, and would not be as good as it would be with 240mm of rad.
Title of the thread is wrong...

Who cares about mining or XFX. It might matter if scrypt were still profitable, the gist i'm getting is that 2$ per day at best is what you're gonna get with a single card. Not worth it, so XFX shmex ef ex. Whatever. Fortunately since scrypt is dying, AMD fans can actually buy cards are non-insane prices now. And NV fans can find their cards on sale more frequently as well due to increased competition. Personally, the end of mining makes me happy - it benefits both AMD fans and also NV fans (like me). Everyone wins.
That tangent aside, I just realized that the chiphell picture did indeed show an Asus Poseidon type hybrid air / liquid cooled AIO loop used on the 295X2. Interesting. Didn't even realize that. Should be interesting to see what the temps are like, it certainly won't be as good as a custom loop with a full cover block but will be better than a blower cooler for sure. Really interested to see how well it will overclock. I'm going to throw a wild guess out there that GPU load temps will be in the 60-70C range, which does leave a bit of headroom for OC'ing. But whether it remains voltage unlocked is really questionable with dual GPU cards, we'll see I guess. Was the 7990 voltage unlocked?
Are you in the red or are we still calling this an "investment" ?Joke's on you, it's the only non-reference card that takes Stilts BIOS, they're running around 60% less voltage and getting a consistent 900khash(290) and 980+khash (290x) each, and every card has been running cool and stable since I've got them.
Shame on me for gaming with my cards instead of wasting power just to mine coins to pay back my power bill.Just because you don't know how to make hardware work doesn't mean other people aren't smart enough to figure it out.
Quoting this so I can put it on a plaque in a few years to show how laughable the idea that "mining is over" was.
The only outrage I see here is a guy who realizes he put himself $10,000 in debt so he could mine imaginary coins sending himself farther into debt.The butthurt and faux-outrage from video game addicts with too much free time to rot away their social skills who need the top-end card at a 50% price premium so they can get 5% better graphics that they ignore anyway while they twitch-kill and teabag people online makes me eye-roll.
I'm smiling at the thought of you putting those cards on eBay for $200/ea 6 months from now in an attempt to make back some of what you've wasted.I can't help but smile at the thought of it.

Which is kind of what you did, so let's note your hypocrisy and look at actual numbers: http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators...00&er=0.00000106&btcer=453.36000000&hc=22,000It's hilarious that you pull magic numbers out of a hat and actually expect anyone to take you seriously.
Which is wrong, as I clearly just showed it's only ~$65-70. Which also doesn't account for the initial investment of $22,000 for 44 ~ $500 units (if you're lucky you paid that), so you're still paying off a debt.even today if I were to lazily point my entire hash power at a random coin I'd still be making almost $150/day AFTER electricity costs. That's $150 of net profit out of thin air.
So you think he makes only $15-25 after working an entire day? Also you're pulling numbers out of the air again, but hey, we already established you're a hypocrite. This is telling for just how out of touch you are with reality and the fact that you may be one of these basement dwelling leechers you're trying to gloat at. Or let me guess, you have a "super awesome job" where you can micro manage your miners and make a full days pay (then go home to your supermodel wife and Ferrari, right? Am I hitting all the internet awesome points you were going to make?)Every day. That's probably 6-10x what you make at your day job
Or, assuming that picture is actually yours, you're just trying to gloat about a pipe dream of making it big in the mining craze years after the investment window has passed. For all that schooling and education you seem to swear you have, you probably should have used it to analyze the trends and gotten in when it counted instead of throwing money at bull trap like every other flunky out there.I'm smiling at the fact that I could put my cards on e-bay for $10 just to piss you off and I'd still be net positive.. but since I'm educated enough to have a good grasp on economics I'm going to continue to mine away for ridiculous profits while you cry like a little baby about your inability to get your absolutely essential top-end graphics (insert eye-roll).
Herp derp derpda herpa derp.
