Coolest/good looking/backplate/good core clock AMD R9 390 (Non X)

[Spoertm]

I know this question has been answered so so many times, but not enough for me to decide which r9 390 brand to go with.

I want one that has decent cooling, has a good look, a backplate and an acceptable stock out-of-the box core clock and lastly, decent cooling. The backplate is important as looks matter for me 😉
That's why I didn't even think about Sapphire, or else I would've went for it right away .

These are the main cards I'm looking at atm:
1. Asus strix 390
2. MSI 390
3. XFX 390

Help would be really appreciated.

The Asus strix has three fans where the other gpu's don't, a good look, a sexy back plate and out of the three the best core clock speed, so for what your looking for i would say that is the best out of the three.
Here is a pic of the backplate of the Asus strix

the xfx is generic looking in its backplate


IMO the strix is probably the sexiest of those

the gigabyte g1 has the best backplate though

But have you checked the new version of R9 390 Nitro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202164

Oh well, seems like I didn't check the new version of the Sapphire nitro. It has a backplate, even though its like 2 cm shorter than the actual card, I think it'll suffice just because of its cooling
Thx zallim, and thank you all for the feedback!
