A few months ago, I purchased an amazing room heater that also functions as a graphics card: The 7970. The thing is as nearly as hot as Logan, any cooling ideas that could improve my experience with the card?
Thanks in advance,
Matt
(Specs:

How hot does it get?
You always could set up a custom water cooling loop and slap a waterblock on it, or grab an aftermarket cooler such as the Artic Hybrid II-120 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186095
Gay.
How hot is it getting? thats a vital piece of info
It can get to around 80c
I have been considering custom cooling but this post was mainly if anyone had other ideas
Have you tried adjusting the fan curve in a program like Afterburner? I changed my curve just a bit and now my Crossfired 7870ghz dont break 65c.
You could try a NZXT kraken g10. It is a closed loop for a graphics card.
