Ok im making a new build, its gonna have an r9 290 in it(thats decided) i was wondering if i should buy a reference design 290 because of the known air flow issues inside the h440, or is the issuye not as bad as people make it out to be and will be sufficient for an msi twin frozr edition card?

The reference design cooler of the r9 290 just can't keep up with the heat it has to dissipate and if it can, it will be loud AF.

 

The Twin Frozr with some good intake and exhaust fans will be fine.

H440 has no airflow issues?

This is the only time I would recommend a NVIDIA product...

When you get a reference 290/290X.You be crazy temps going over 100*C and a freggin turbine in your dem case....
