Just wait for the r9 480x, will probably be equally if not more powerful than the 290x and will consume about half the power, thus being more cool and quiet.

Choose one.
Wait a month for the R9-480(X) or get a GTX970.

I think they are calling it the rx 480 and doing awa with the 9 and 7 shit
Don't fall for the 290x meme.

The one in your picture and the Vapor-x
Water cool a reference fag. I water cooled my r9 290 reference with the nzxt g10 and a h75. My card dosent go above 55c from when it used to hit 93C

My 290X stays cool even though my case has barely any airflow (only one case fan).
Fan is a bit loud on load though.

vapor X and tri-X
I have the tri-X and am very content with the temperatures but it is prone to have rattling fans

Could I just buy a tri-X fan and put it on my 290x ref card?

I honestly wouldn't do that. There are better options for 3rd party coolers.
