I want to know what is the difference between the R9 290 and the R9 290X.

Do they differ in performance?
Do they differ in the GPU chip used?
Do they differ in the GPU chip quality?
Do they differ in noise?
Do they differ in temp?
Power consumption?
etc.

Whoever can give me complete details regarding their difference will be selected as best answer. Thanks in advance! :)

Do they differ in performance? - Tiny bit
Do they differ in the GPU chip used? - Same chip but with lower clock speed
Do they differ in the GPU chip quality? - Same quality
Do they differ in noise? - No
Do they differ in temp? - Little bit
Power consumption? - No
 

Actually the 290 has a cut-down version of the same GPU, and may have lower quality (since it's binned lower).
