We should start a pool as to whether Capt Jack is going to be the next FX-9590:
Hot, more than power hungry, horribly inefficient, destined for deep discount.
Although it's only been 16 months, it feels like a long, long time since the 290X launched. Early rumors pointed to 390X being water cooled for reference, a portent of meltdowns to come?
In a way, I'd kind of like to build a FX-9590/390X rig just in defiance of all that is reasonable and sane.
