Those 2mm heatsinks look really sweet so i hope it solves it for you bro.
Some of them of use the hynix ones as well but they're of different models. The ones in 290 etc use the 1.6 volts one. While 280 uses a different one @1.5V. That's why when these are OCed to operate on higher frequencies they create graphical problems for us.
After a search on the web I found that R9 290x Matrix uses Elpida VRAM modules and no Hynix.
I don't know who put my card together, but next time go easy on the thermal paste, bloody hell lol.
Also fixed fan rattling of back fan, really weird design of the montage, the back screw of the bracket is behind a cooling pipe, how the hell are you supposed to tighten that one Asus, thank god it was the other screw wich was slightly loose, would have had to make a simple tool to tighten it otherwise.
It was a pain in the butt to clean all that thermal paste, it was like hard cement like, as5 will fix that.
2mm heatsinks installed, after putting it back together i checked the clearance and 2mm was just right.
Now time will tell if it made a difference to the vrams, gpu temp dropped by like 4c on idle alrdy lol.

The clearance is confirmed by me and Xarups so it wasn't a problem. Waiting for your result out of curiosity tho because I had already sent mine for refund.

Did the vram heat sinks solve the artifacting problem, also where did you buy them from?
