First we need the Asus 290X DCUII to be available. The Gigabyte Windforce is out but still have not seen the Asus DCUII on Egg or anywhere.

Doesn't the r9 290x asus already have a backplate? would you not just use that backplate

Isn't that pointless ?

It would be such a waste get rid of totally functional and good looking cooler, I think you should only water cool stock coolers.

Cards with custom PCBs tend to have better power delivery.

If I water cool my GPU, and increase its clock speed. How many more lite coins can I produce?

Yeah agreed but the PCB and power delivery is custom so in that respect watercooling is the best way to get the most out of that. Custom PT3 BIOS and over-volting 1.4+v needs to water to tame temps!
