Well, my reference designed Sapphire still runs under 70c after 4 hours of BF4. Idle has been 36c. No special cooling or anything. I never understood what this heat factor is that everyone continues to talk about. I couldn't be happier with this card.

I sold my AMD 5970 that I purchased last year on Newegg BF sale for $250.00. I paid $299.00 so I feel pretty good. Now I am in need of a new card and I am having difficulty chosing a new one. I am stationed in Germany and they have an electronic shop called "Conrads" that sells a pretty nice...

be right back...need to change my underwear...

Wow, never seen that model card(s) before. They still look sweet as heck, but off the screen saver they go.

That photo above of the 7970X2 watercooled is my screen saver now.....OMG, that is beauty.

Bring it!

Can't beat my 5970 for $299.00! Can't beat my Diamond 5970 for $299.00! That black friday deal on the Egg is still "A" number 1. I won't upgrade until I see clear leads by the competitors with a decent price/performance ratio. Until then, my 5970 for $299.00 is still the CHAMPION!

AMD 5970...$299.00...Black Friday.....Still is the best deal I ever had.....ever! It'll be a while before I upgrade. BF3 at 19X12 is only 11 FPS difference between 5970 and 680. Thanks Newegg!

I'll stick with my $299.00 black friday Diamond 5970!

I'll stick with my $300.00 AMD 5970.

Shot a guy from the back yesterday with a shot gun 4 times only to have him(or her) turn around, shoot me once and I drop in an instant, and it shows them at 100% health. That has to be a cheat.

Yes, it was the triple slot 570. The thing is, that slot works with a Diamond 5770 with no issue. Though it is only plugged in with a 4 pin PCI-e adapter. The other 2 cards need a 6/8 pin adapters. I did order another MB and PSU. They should arrive soon. My plan of attack is to swap out the PSU...

I think I'll attempt the new MB when it comes in a few weeks from now. If it's the same issue, I'll look at the PSU. I'll definetly take up your suggestion on Corsair PSU's. I hear good things about them also. Re-install chipset? Do you mean the drivers?

I bought that PSU AUG 16 2010. A little over a year. I just recently purchased a new MB(Foxconn) from the egg yesterday to give that a shot. But if it is the PSU, what do you recommend? And thanks again.

Opps! Forgot PSU Yes, sorry about that. PSU: KingWin Mach 1 ABT-1000 ATX/BTX SLI certified/Crossfire ready 80 plus Bronze certified modular. Should be enough for 1 video card...even AMD 5970. It ran the 570 with no issue before I unpacked it here in Germany. It's been on a boat since July...
