What kind of temperatures would I expect to see when I Crossfire two Gigabyte R9 290 Windforce?

I was thinking about Crossfiring them for 1440p but I'm afraid that the temperatures might be to high. What kind of case would be optimal for these two GPUs?

Well, you will proabably need a high airflow case like a fractal design define R4. You will probably be getting temps of about 40-60C so it will be hot. But, you could watercool it which would dramatically improve performance and temps

The best possible case would be the Corsair Carbide Air 540.

The Fractal Design Define R4 is not a high airflow case. It is a quiet optimized case (complete opposite).
