I'd only run SLI 290x's with water cooling.
The stock cooling will be adequate to keep the cards cool
That is where you are wrong. The stock cooler on a 290X is PATHETIC.

The cooler may be bad but its still adequate to cool it for now. It will do fine in not letting it overheat to the ppint where the cards life expecdancy will be significantly affected

What rock have you been living under? The cooler can barely keep one card from overheating.
