What are you using to cool down those vrms? What tems you got with that setup on gpu/vrm?
Some of those watered vga's looks similar to corsair H60/h80 series, is it?

Just using some spare 92mm fans for the cards and a 120mm fan on the bench setup. The 7870 doesn't have any heatsinks on the MOSFETs and the 7950 already had a metal plate installed over the power circuity.
The 7870 doesn't have any monitoring for the VRMs but with the 7950 it is usually about 72°C versus 86°C before. The GPU dropped quite a bit - on the 7870 it went from 73°C down to 44°C and the 7950 went from 82°C down to 47°C.
The one on the left is a Thermaltake WATER2.0 Performer and WATER2.0 Pro on the right. They're very similar to the Antec H20 Kuhler series which all share the same OEM, Asetek. On my bench, I'm using the Performer for my 7950 and it cools adequately (GPU: 55°C / VRM: 71°C).
What model of 7950 is that?
My reference 7970 cooler have no metal plate over vrms, so they got hot when i putted accelero xtreme 7970 on it, although i have instaled vrm heatsinks, temps are higher then with reference cooler ~ 100
The reference 7970 cooler cools the VRMs directly, but the accelero needs a VRM heatsink, and you will see higher VRM temps.
Yes.
Thats why i stept back to refernce cooler, could not cool vrms good enogh
Any ideas, experience with custom vrm coolers?
