Hi Guys,

Couple of quick questions!

I have the following card:

MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **NEW REVISION**

So far it has served me very well, and I achieved a stable overclock with the below:

1100 Core
1350 Memory
Stock Voltage (1188 I think?)
Power Limit +20%

I'm happy with this overclock, pushing it further caused crashes and I didn't want to push the voltage any more.

Last night I was playing Planetside 2 and notice the temps were hitting 79/80 (80 was max). This seems quite hot considering the card has pretty good cooling?

I have the following case (with just the stock fan setup):

So I don't think this is the problem. Is 80 quite hot?

Thanks in advance
 
I had 2 of these cards in Crossfire and they are hot running cards.....

I replaced the stock thermal paste with some decent stuff and it took 10c off the load temps.
 
I don't think 80 degress is anything to worry about. When you start approaching triple digits is the time to start worrying.

Don't forget - unless your card manufacturer states otherwise - that taking the cooler off can void your warranty.
 
I had 2 MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition in crossfire, the top card was running at 65C max with a custom fan profile, with default fan profile used to top 75C (the 2nd card was about 5C lower).

I have a Corsair 500R case with 10 fans or more :P
 
Humm ok, seems they do run hot then! Debating repasting now, apparently it doesn't void warranty.

Any advice on a good custom fan profile for afterburner that doesn't result in my pc sounding like it's going to take off?
 
I reached your settings unvervolted to 1.1. Temps reached 65 degrees max with vrm temps hitting 70-75 degrees. I had fan set at 50% to 70 degrees with a curve going to 30% to 40 degrees.

Stock voltage is way too high at 1.25
