That's $29 for the G10 bracket. You still need a compatible water cooler.
My bad

Interestingly enough, both the GV-R929XOC-4GD (Radeon R9 290X) and GV-R929OC-4GD (Radeon R9 290) are going to be clocked at 1040MHz and reference memory clocks...
Power Color is shipping a EK block?
Seems unlikely...
This is how it should be done, more AIBs ought to release PCB + waterblock editions, no need to waste $$ on a HSF and put that savings towards a waterblock.
my bad, i posted too quickly and didn't bother fixing it later on.That's $29 for the G10 bracket. You still need a compatible water cooler.

the bracket is $29, and the radiator (afaik, as the NZXT website says) is also $29. $58 for the lot. tbh seems cheap considering how much a H80 costs, but hey.
1st off, is that thinner than dual slot??? 2nd, toms said that it will have gold, red and pure black options. I imagine that 3rd parties will make other color stickers, so then it could fit in that nice, clean black and white rig everyone has always wanted. Or neon green. Or uv only.It looks like the Asus DirectCU II will be coming out in Mid-January.
This comes from JJ (Asus) himself.

Mid January..???
Noooooo.
I am gonna miss the boat on the litecoin mining parade.
Plus what am I going to do on my Winter break.??
It is hard to game during the semester.
AMD messed up big here.
Anyone else find the custom GPU blocks a waste? Unless you keep your cards for 3+ years, it's a waste IMO. Much better to get a universal block and use heatsinks to cool the VRAM and VRMs. I've been doing that since a X1800XL many years ago...started with a DD Maze4 GPU block and I'm STILL using it on one of my 7950s.
MSI R9 290x Twin Frozr IV now available for pre order at NCIX Canada if anyone is interested. 700$ tough...

NCIX.com said:Pleaase note all R9 video cards are highly allocated at the moment. Customers will be placed in a backorder queue and we will ship out orders on a first in first out basis. Thanks for your patience.
The pricing is terrible. D:
