Is the Powercolor TurboDuo R9 290 a quiet, overclockable and good GPU?

GPU's are the loudest part in systems from my experience and overclockability completely depends on the chip. You will most likely hit the temp limit before the gpu limit on air (in my experience)

You need to adjust your fan profile on the giggy then.

its whisper quite on idle but when you game the temp rises to around 65 max with the profile i set for it, just gets loud because of that
