XSPC Razor R9 290/290X Full Cover Cooling Block Review @ HiTech Legion

There's no denying that this current generation of video cards are some of the hottest around, both figuratively and literally.  While water cooling these cards traditionally has been the working realm of the enthusiast, manufacturers now appear to have started embracing more mainstream use of this effective cooling option through aftermarket bolt-on water blocks, to just having it plumbed and ready to go straight out of the factory (in the case of the new 295X for example).

AMD’s new R9 290 and 290X have proven to be hot running components and XSPC has a full cover Razor Block set to cool them down. The XSPC R9 290/290X Razor is installed simply on any reference design, and targets not only the GPU, but the VRM and memory as well for a complete cooling solution. The heart of the Razor is a solid copper contact plate with liquid channeling to all major PCB components and direct contact on the PCB side.
