That explains it then.
Thanks for the info. For some reason I thought they would have been on a more efficient die and generate less heat. I am going to put a 120mm fan in the Lian Li case this morning, mount it on the side bracket and aim it down at the card. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the information!

No problem.. unfortunately, I found out the painful hard way. haha I do believe the die is more efficient, it's just the combination of having double the shaders and such, and GDDR5 with higher gpu and memory speeds that make it more work for the cooler.
