As good as it is, I wouldn't dream of running these clocks with the stock HSF.

Why would you spend so much for a custom heatsink? when you could have just gotten the 7970?

This whole rig only pulls about 1000 watts

clock: 1080/930/1.062v (cgminer will not show proper voltage)

Code:

Hio and nice setup !

The HSF was bought almost 2 years ago and currently on its 4th gpu. Cheesy

Soon I will have my 2nd/3rd gpu and they will each get one because, the 30c+ temp drop is worth the $$$.

How much downtime is lost due to overheating/burnt out gear ? per day ? per month ? ect..

Little to no chance of that happening here. lol

pEACe

I'm not debating that higher temps won't affect the life of the card. I keep my card running at < 60C myself. I wouldn't dream of running them at 110C and wondering why they burnt out after 3 months.

However, the argument FOR the necessity of lower temps lost credibility when the same people posted stuff like this:

The other part has to do with the toxic fumes the card will emit at the higher temps. This never gets talked about because just like smog/pollution, cell phone radiation, GMOs ect., they are all supposed to be "safe".

It just sounds a little too panic-y, and sounds like you frequent conspiracy theory sites. The average person will not accept this as a valid argument.

Plzzz don't make assumptions about me.

Look at the ever increasing cancer and disease rates and wake up. Do you really believe your environment and food provided by these corporations is safe ?

You guys have no real arguement to make so you resort to labelling and lame jokes about tinfoil. Typical...
