i have a stock gigabyte 7970 running @ 1200mhz core
the stock fan ramps to about 70% (custom profile) to keep her under 75 degrees
I also use a portable aircon unit in the room to keep room temp down. (aircon gets room temp down to 27 degrees)
The graphics card fan is roughly the same noise...
did a bit more reading and between different metals,
if the temperature and humidity are higher the chemical V(voltage) between different metals needs to be smaller, corrosion occurs faster at higher temps
sounds like crappy zalman engineers know this, hence the instructions says not put in...
i Can run leo @1160mhz until 81 degrees temperature.
try manually adjust your fan to keep temps under 79 degrees.... (or lower depending on your card overclocks )
Galvanic corrosion is an electrochemical process in which one metal corrodes preferentially to another when both metals are in electrical contact and immersed in an electrolyte.

ok, checked zalman instuction and one perticular part wont work:
" Do not place in dusty or humid conditions, under direct sunlight, ":mad:
what radiator setup should i go with the EK-FC7970 Acetal+EN Nickel
that i can place the radiators outside, in the rain and sun, and not suffer...
im looking at the zalman reserator

how much cooling power does this have in comparison to traditional 3x120 watercooling setups?
i am going to run a long water hose outside the house, the passive zalman dissipating all that juicy heat...
i know at the store I work at the same number of 580 are selling as 7970s
granted the 7970s are selling at $800 - $850 american dollars
(750-800 australian dollars)
We are getting plenty of new orders with high end setups (x78 mobos, water cooled setups, coolermaster cosmos2 cases) and...
It can be very subjective.

Kyle,
have you tried to bring the voltage back to default and see what oc you get?
Using higher than default volts only hindered my OC. Gigabyte stock card
Higher temperature was one of the contributing factors in crashes\artifacts, but voltage raising directly hurt the OC performance...
I find it a little strange everyone is saying max ram OC's
running 3d mark 11 i can max out RAM too......
but over 1450ram, the score goes down, so i set to 1420.
Has everyone been testing their 3dm11 scores with 10mhz increments till score goes down? I know it takes time but your 2mega...
I found heaven usefull for finding artifact point in the card.
3dm11 would freeze sometimes, but as it is short run, doesnt heat the card enough.
BF runs a good temperature, would consider an hour of this a good test. On an older game, that only runs 60% gpu load, this game actually crashed...

volts @1218 trixx = 1.115 in gpuz 1180mhz will crash at 87 degrees (fan 57%)
