    Anybody having this issue with the HD 7970?

    Basically after a long gaming session, it gives a NO VGA Detected error (on the motherboard LED) even though my temps are perfectly fine. Is this a motherboard error or a graphic card error?

    7970 VRM temps, is 100C normal?

    I'm using HWINFO, lots of people use it and seems to be accurate for others. I'm overclocking it to 1150mhz though, its a sapphire stock 7970 with a accelero xtreme 7970 cooler.

    7970 VRM temps, is 100C normal?

    I'm overclocking to 1100mhz with my Accelero Xtreme 7970 cooler, the CPU is temps are fine but my VRM temps are shooting to 100C! Is this okay, or should I be worried of them melting?

    7970 sometimes won't boot, no VGA LED on motherboard lights up

    Anybody had this problem with the 7970? I have the Accelero Xtreme on it, and every few days when I try to boot the computer it doesn't recognize the VGA. I found that one thing that fixes it is turning the computer off, opening and plugging in and out the power connectors a few times. Any ideas?

    7970 Buyers - Do you feel any remorse?

    I must say I bought a 7970 for $540 a few months ago, my future upgrade path was to get another 7970 and crossfire them when the prices drop, but with the poor CF support and microstuttering that AMD is known for, I'm feeling a bit remorse. Anyone else? Or is a 7970 still good for the next...

    7970 VGA not found after installing Accelero Xtreme cooler?

    Basically sometimes my card boots and sometimes it doesn't ...i get the 3 beeps for NO-VGA signal on my ASUS P8P67 Pro. I have to open the case, take the card out, put it back in and after a few tries it starts working again. Is this a bad contact with the PCI-e slot? I have a Cooler...

    i5 2500k and hyper 212: Should I buy and apply Arctic Silver 5 paste?

    What do you think, will it make a difference or is the default thermal paste on the Hyper 212 good enough?

    7970 not recognized on boot at random times...HELP

    So sometimes my 7970 doesn't want to start from a cold boot, the motherboard (P8P67 Pro Asus) gives three beeps which the manual says means no VGA detected. If I put the computer on the side and plug out and in the power connector, it generally starts working again. Any idea what the problem...

    Radeon 7970 owners: Is there any point in overclocking past 1125 Mhz?

    Radeon 7970 owners: Is there any point in overclocking past 1125 Mhz?

    So I overclocked to the max of 1125Mhz. Right now running Furmark or BF3 I don't go over 60C on the gpu and its very quiet with the custom cooler (Accelero Xtreme 7970). Should I try and push it to 1200Mhz? How much of a difference does it make to you guys who tried it in terms of actual gaming?

    Accelero 7970 VRM Temps too high?

    This thread proves that people will argue over the most mundane things if they feel that someone is saying they're wrong. :) Anyway, does anybody have any idea on how to cool the VRMs? I am sure that the heatsinks are properly installed, would making a 120mm fan blow on the side of the card...

    Accelero 7970 VRM Temps too high?

    Should I try to reinstall it? How much of a pain is it to remove it all and start again? Also does anybody know exactly what the VRMs are on the board?

    What are normal VRM temps on modern cards?

    Yes, the standard aluminum heatsinks that come with the Accelero Xtreme.

    Accelero 7970 VRM Temps too high?

    I never actually checked my stock cooler vram temps. Can anyone with the stock cooler post theirs? Just download HWinfo32 (http://www.hwinfo.com), and in Sensor Status window click on Configure and then enable VRAM monitoring if not on by default.
