Hello...
Skip to bold text for my help request.
I have had this card for almost an year now and experienced constant temperature issues. I carefully clean the cooling sink whenever necessary, thus it is shiny, also in good contact with gpu and vrams - pasting is as good as it gets (which I've practiced to optimal levels).
Anyway, that Ghost Double Dissipation thing is not very good for 7970 (perhaps in general), as many people realized.
I don't intend to buy a water cooling system, not only but specially because I am not sure whether this card design is reference.
I would sincerely enjoy suggestions on new air cooling sets fit for this card.
Some cards feature the same model number but more or less ports.
Mine has 1 DVI, 1 HDMI, 2 micro-HDMI.
Pictures of the actual card can sometimes be more helpful in situations like this, I think.
Thanks in advance.
