Because of the recent price drop in R9 290's I was thinking about purchasing 2 of them for a crossfire setup.
I was about to purchase an XFX branded 290 until a friend of mine told me that any 290 without 3x fans will overheat when in crossfire. So I'm not sure if purchasing the r9 290 is a good idea if I have to constantly worry about it overheating and having to deal with fan noise.
If he was right will 280x's crossfire'd fare any better ?
*I don't plan on over clocking.*
