Ok, Is there a way to force it on as I want to check it's memory type?

Go in game (CF supporting game) and run GPU-Z. Problem solved.

I have just installed my second R9 290 to my system and I went into CCC and saw this:

No temp, no power no speeds? Pretty normal since the 2nd GPU is disabled when you do not need it (desktop and light work like that).

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

I have two 290Xs and when playing Skyrim, both GPUs are heating up, fans spinning, but GPU-Z and AMD OverDrive say 0 for everything on the second GPU. I figured it was just normal.

Then you do not have CF setup properly it seems. Go to settings and check whether CF is properly setup.

Grats! I'm assuming CF wasn't setup properly?
