Here's some reviews from some of our friend around the web.
GeForce GTX Titan vs. GTX 780 Ti - Should I upgrade? @ ocaholic
Quote: "A gamer simply can't get enough graphics power in their rig, which makes the upgrade question omnipresent. To show you whether it makes sense to upgrade from one generation to another we created this series of articles, where we will compare graphics cards from different generations. Today we're having a close look at the differences between the GeForce GTX Titan and the GeForce GTX 780 Ti."

Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X Edition Review @ TechwareLabs.com
Quote: "Today we are taking a look at the R9 290X Tri-X from Sapphire. The 290X is known to run extremely hot and throttle down, so to keep this beast cool Sapphire designed a massive triple fan cooler that promises to keep the temps low and prevent the performance loss from throttling. Read on to see how it performed."

Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X Tri-X OC Video Card Review @ ThinkComputers.org
Quote: "Sapphire originally released their R9 280X Vapor-X back when the R9 280X’s were launched. The card was factory overclocked and featured Sapphire’s Dual-X cooler. Well Sapphire is releasing a new version of the card that makes use of Sapphire’s own exclusive Vapor-X cooling with its new Tri-X triple fan design. This should keep the Tahiti GPU nice a cool. On top of that this card is again factory overclocked, features Black Diamond chokes and a full Solid Cap design, and has dual BIOS support. Is this the R9 280X that you are looking for? Read on as we take a look…"

Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 Review @ ocaholic
Quote: "With the Arc Mini R2, Fractal Design has a compact tower case in its portfolio which has been built with mATX motherboards in mind. Other than that this is definitely a good looking case and it offers a lot of flexibility when it comes to cooling. Factal Design even went to the point where they put a few extra features on the back of the motherboard tray. At this point we're rather curious to see if this case is capable of convincing us. "
