I have yet to see a score post on HWBOT for these(i didn't search in it), just wondering why no one is posting these? Did I miss something about them, I can't find reviews even?
Anyone buying them? The link shows a few of most have sold, some feedback............
Please no AMD/Nvidia pissing match I just wanna know about these is all

I have one.

I like it, biggest downfall right now is not being able to disable crossfire, and since some games dont play well with it i am forced to not play them.

So i would be wary of that fact.

So far so good.

If room temperature is 75 and below it will stay below the throttle point of 75 celsius. I had about 3 hours of BF4 the other day and it held at 70 the whole time. This was running BF4 max out with 4xmsaa and 150% resolution scale and 110 field of view. Never dropped below 60 even in Shanghai.

At first I did have and issue but it was due to my mounted configuration.

Make sure you follow the recommended directions on the mounting location for the rad. The card is not whisper quiet but nowhere near what the blower fans of the 290/x and even the 780Ti fans noise.

My case is a CM HAF.

Have you tried making a game profile for the specific games in 3D application setting tab ?
Add the game exe then scroll down to AMD CrossFireX and you should be able to disable Xfire.
