I bought all these 290's on ebay. They have NA warranties in range of 2 years. I wanted to go 290's crossfire and went a little overboard. Ex mining cards, I think if they were to fail they would have during mining.
I had a lot of plans but it turns out one 290x is perfect for just about anything...

This is a local 7970 that is out of warranty and died on me. It needs a new cooler however I baked it and it is working perfectly atm. Did a full 8 hour valley benchmark with the card and it never went over 83c but the cooler itself has a hole it in. So replacing it should be priority.
I want a price for the card and if I don't get it I will gift it to my sister.
