I recently purchased a second R9 290 (I already have one) which has a blower style cooler the other R9 290 has an open air cooler (Sapphire Tri X), which one should I put in the top PCIe slot? The open-air card or the blower-style card?
 
Solution
Blower would probably be better in the top slot, since they work better in confined spaces.
That being said, you can try it both ways and see what works better. The TriX cooler is fantastic, reference, not so much. So the reference may have to go in the bottom slot.
