Nice. What's the minimum power u need on a PC to run a R9 ? I'm waiting for the V2.0 of the cards (manufacturer specific).
350 watts its looks like from hard testing will give you the over head to keep it going, so still have tons of wattage for my pc, and right away i will be modding the fan profile and probbly buying a aftermarket fan. they have stated the PCB has same mounts as a 280x
yes, techspot has pics to prove it as well. using the iceq II they droped max temp on the r9 290 to 75c even though spec runs at 93c with throttle at 95c. http://www.techspot.com/news/54576-radeon-r9-290-review-kick-ass-value-same-top-notch-performance.html#comments. cant wait to get my hands on this and mod it.
