There are currently no news at all about what the gpu/ socket that the gpu would look like in the 9000 series. So can't say at this point if the Accelero can fit for or not. Would you mind posting a 3dmark 11 performance score with your highest possible overclock? I feel like my 7950 is...

I'm wondering about this too. It seems like NOBODY has used this product on a 7900 series and reported on VRM temps. I am curious too. EDIT: Never mind, found a user review on Newegg concerning the VRMs, although he did mix up the VRM numbers (VRM #1 is the long strip near the power connectors...

What make of card? That VRM and core temperature are pretty good.

Meh, I guess I'll figure it out. Thanks for the advice though. If your pads arrive, can you do 20 min run of Heaven at max of course, at your 1200mhz speeds? I'm curious of what your VRM temperatures will be.

Yes, the benchmark is the only window active, nothing else is open. The thing is it doesn't always fluctuate from 96% the whole benchmark, but only in some sequences. It mostly stays at 99%

so my VRM 1 runs 3 degrees cooler than yours with the fujipoly pads. Unfortunately, not too much of a difference and my ambient idle temperature is 30 degrees (AC in fullblast, I too have a heatwave here in Canada :)). However, I'm also running at a higher voltage than you AND I ran it for...

LOL ok I was wrong. Maybe the thermal tape really does help a lot. At 1200mhz core, 1650mhz memory, at 1.131v, VRM 1 only goes up to 75 degrees, VRM 2 goes up to 66 degrees, and my core only goes up to 52 degrees. Thats really impressive now that I think about it. And no, to your previous...

I run my memory at 1700mhz but usually 1650mhz. Sure thing, i'll try 1200mhz and yes, I maxed out everything in the benchmark. I don't think I can run 1200mhz at 1.112v though, I have a slightly lower ASIC value (87.4%) than yours. I can run it at 1.131v no problem though.

Have fun with your gtx 780, that card screams! Thanks for all you help though striker.

I run the card at 1235 core at 1.162v. For most games, VRM 1 doesn't break 88 degrees at those speeds, but games like bioshock infinite, an easy to handle game, reaches 90 fps and above, VRM 1 gets really hot, above 90. However,for far cry 3, where I put everything on ultra and aa on 2x, I don't...

Wait, don't you mean VRMs===>thermal pads===>heatsink? I was skeptical of that too when I was done installing it but I checked again and there doesn't seem to be any gaps. Although on the extreme sides of the heatsink(the side that faces you when the card is installed in a case), the tape could...

I have also tried the fujipoly extreme pads with my stock sapphire VRM heatsinks with the accelero cooler. I found there is little to no difference in VRM temperatures

Thats exactly the dilemma I had with the Dual X cooler. The only thing that was stopping me from having a higher overclock was the VRM temps and I have to tell you, the accelero xtreme does not improve the VRM temps a lot for the Sapphire 7950 OC.

Ok tried it, didn't notice any difference. But here's what I noticed across all games: When the fps goes below 60 fps in any game (aka, a very graphically intensive spot in the game) the usage is pinned at 99 percent and no less. When it goes above 60 fps, even in intense games like far cry 3...

so sorry I haven't replied in a while, busy with a few things. No my clockrates are pinned at 1235 mhz and so are my memory clocks. I'll try your 50 percent power limit mod and see if it will change anything. UPDATE: I don't have the number 14 at the 4th line, I have it at the 11th line in the...
