everybody glad to see you guys back here once again in the channel it's me buddy the dog the mascot here at Tech of tomorrow now you guys all know on launch day of the 290x we hooked up with my homie linus who bought us an awesome video of that new card but a lot of things that actually probably weren't really specified is how loud this card actually runs with its fans going now we did this in three different stages 25 50 and 75 percent and this thing was getting up to 93 degrees Celsius which is basically hot enough to no burn a hole through the moon so with that said though let's jump in now and let's actually see the noise levels of this new brand-new 290x and the people over at AMD I think you're going to be a bit surprised so first off we see it at 25% me not too bad right yes good listen that it's not going to drive you too mad right not too bonkers but now let's kick it up a notch to 50% okay even buddies reaction I was pretty funny here as well you see them buddies all wow that kicked cloud but now let's go all the way up to 75% holy jesus it sounds like a jet plane that is escape from the airport is trying to crash-land into the yard next you I mean this thing is amazingly loud so for your AMD fans out there I know you guys are loving this card in the price point and everything but this card is honestly very very hot and very very loud there's no room really whatsoever with this card for any type of overclocking not really at all with the way this card is running right now you overclock this thing at all you're probably going to be burning up your card or it's just going to perform very badly one thing taken consideration and this is not trying to beat AMD up whatsoever so you guys know that the hotter that the card gets the more the performance degrades so if the cards running for long periods of time you're going to see performance degradation if the card is overheating so if you try to stick this thing in like a little small case or something that has no airflow this card is probably going to overheat on you now currently we're right in the middle of testing this card so we're going to have all those results for you guys and we test the card at just at standard performance levels we didn't overclock it whatsoever we did not want to fry our buddies card that we borrowed it from now when aftermarket people come and they make their own cooling solution this is actually going to improve the thermal on it quite a bit but there's only really so much you can do with a thermal design if your GPU is running so hot that it's having trouble at all times being kept cool you're really going to have to step this stuff up with a water cooler we're hoping that people like Gabe from Swift tech and others will go ahead and make a cooler for this when we get our car we can slap a water cooler on it and then see the real performance benefits of it at this point from what we're seeing the 290x is an awesome card but the reference cards and everything are just running way too hot way too loud I'm thinking slap water cooler on it it's going to be a much better card but we'll get there soon so one last thing before I bounce out of here and this pretty much pertains to my AMD fans out there are you guys willing to sacrifice you know noise and heat in order to be able to beat videocard with the price and all that at the end of the day is a 290x like your guys's total cup of tea you guys like hey screw it I don't care about the noise I don't care about the heat all I care about is that it beats the nvidia card let me hear what you guys have to say and you guys all know that nvidia has now announced their 7 ATI card will be coming out and we'll have that for you guys shortly as well because hey like Sherlock Holmes said the game is afoot hope you guys like this video if so you guys know what to do sub buttons down there as well peace out taking you up with buddy we're going to go have some doggy treats see ya with me
