After hearing about how hot the 295x runs I'm considering going with the 290x instead if it's running a bit cooler.

What heat readings are you getting from the 290x when for example running the Heaven benchmark?
Does the fans ramp up? If so how much?
 
86C peak, about 1880 rpm peak. It varies throughout the benchmark. It's audible but I wouldn't call it loud.
