HIS 7970 Custom Cooling

[eyefinity]

Hey guys!

Even though my 7970 has already a quite quiet fan, it is still too loud. Already minimized the rpm with MSI Afterburner.

Now I tried something:



Temps stay @ 900RPM and constant RPM under 65°C and it is not able to hear the fans.

If you say, that this will not damage the Card because the VRAM and Powerconverters a covered with the heatsink (The HIS IceQ one) I would order a PWM adapter and two Noctua NF-F12 and would use this setup.

What do you think?

Looks good, but the cables need some work

If the temps are ok then your fine to continue like that, check your vrm temps also,

I have done something similiar with my 7950 -

Removed plastic shroud and put 2 120mm fans blowing up on the vrm's

Done

Its super silent and cool =) wohooo!

PS: VRM Temps stay @ 24°C ? Is this a error? The Temps do not change. Is GPU-Z not able to read these correctly out?

Noctuas.

Still quite a clever idea, and my old 6850 could use something like this, the thing's a jet under load.
Only downside is it has a flower style heatsink, so this wouldn't really work x.x
