Title: 2x 7970 help .. Post by: previse on April 25, 2013, 08:13:40 PM I just got my second 7970 today and i'm in need of some help....
They are both gigabyte ghz edition cards. The temperatures are hitting upwards of 85-90 degrees. Are these temperatures safe? anyone else have this issue? thanks Title: Re: 2x 7970 help ..

Also, to save your graphics card fans, 75% and under speed is preferred as well.

Risky if you do not have warranties, not risky if you have time to RMA the cards on their warranties. Title: Re: 2x 7970 help ..

Try to improve your cooling. If the OEM fans go, you can strap cheap desktop fans to the cooler, it's no big problem. http://www.hostmyimage.net/image/14yk8u259.jpg Title: Re: 2x 7970 help .. Post by: previse on April 25, 2013, 09:35:39 PM I'm going to try with new case fans, any suggestions?
