I definitely would have noticed if mine had that sticker on it before i removed it. That was right over the back plate. I wonder if any other msi 7970 oc card users didn't have that sticker.

MSI must have started shipping cards with that sticker on. We need more msi 7970 oc users to come forward. Mine definitely didn't have that on. I've had my card since 31 Jul, 12, 6:38 am. Yes i ordered it as soon as i woke up. I had a dream about living on Tahiti. I knew it was a sign.
Matt, in the exact words I just got from borat himself.
"hi, I have checked with the supplier. It comes with two sachets of adhesive."
Thought you might like to know.
Drop me a trust please mate with the specifics. I might order a spare one myself
Wait there is a V2 of the msi 7970 oc?
Ours never had that sticker matt, looks like MSI is going down the route of XFX in regards to cooler removal.
Oh well looks like MSI's off the list for cooler removal now.
Thanks for confirming tommy. Bricks were being laid briefly. I better go change underwear.
I have cancelled my MSI 7970 and gone with an EVGA GTX 680 FTW. God help my sins...
Check your trust Moog. Its time to do a little business.
I knew it wouldn't take you long
That's only cos i know he's sitting on some of that white and grey gold.
I have had about 10 emails asking for the cooler now...
I have asked for £50 + £5 postage if anyone is interested I will create a sale thread and keep it all above board. I have the invoice and paid £55 for this one so only selling for what I paid which I hope is fair.
God damn i can't believe my fellow ocuk brothers are trying to steal the G1 from me. There are some sick people out there.
£55? Yikes. That's £10+ more than i paid for a new one with warranty. I'll pass.
Its ok Moog sell it to someone else. l33th3tr33 has already offered to give me his for free (well i assume ill be paying postage
). I was just thinking if i could buy a spare accelero on the cheap (£30) i would do that.Get it. Frenyz's could be a one off. You can always send it back with DSR if needed.

Thanks Scotti. Top fella. I hope you stick around and join our MSI 7970 OC card love inn.
Frenzy you traitor! Get out of the thread!
Just kidding.
Thanks for putting our minds at rest. Frenzy looks like you need to buy one from ocuk.
That's a great offer msi and ocuk have going on. Makes me want to buy another one.
Thanks scotti
For clarification he said "the sticker is for people who arent buying from ocuk" I bought the card from ocuk. I have the order history and receipt
The plot thickens.
Sweet! You can join the group hug
Welcome back into the fold Frenzy.
I'm going to be fitting my old Accelero to my reference 7970 later. No glue so the VRM's and memory can go bare let them sweat....
I saw your thread moog. That was very cruel of you to post that second picture with the two precious sachets of G1 on display.
I think you need to go to one of them self help groups that help people with addictions...
G1 anonymous.
Still that second picture. That was brutal.
+1
they will try to ween you off the G1
I can't be weened off something ive only had the pleasure of sampling twice. Here's hoping wazza gives it to me.
Well ill be sure to post my findings. The sinks should arrive either tomorrow or friday and since i don't have any G1 (
) this refit should be a quick job.If it goes well i might use the akasa tape myself as that has a better w/mk than the tape already applied on those cooper sinks.
Man, I thought I was obsessive
Speaking of which, I slapped on some Gelid GC and did a prime run. It scored 2°C lower than whatever was on there before. Could've been AS5 or Alpenfohn snow cannon. I dunno...
I hate to say i told you so, but well i told you so. This gelid stuff is great. Can't believe ocuk stopped stocking it because it 'didn't sell'. Especailly considering Stulid tested the whole ocuk paste range and said gelid was the best overall.

Going to try it on my accelero when i take it apart. 2c off the core will bring my already low core temps down even more. The accelero's core temps are already beyond impressive for silent air cooling.
Stop trying to fix what's not broke - or you will break it
That's like trying to tell greg he's wasting his money on Titan's. Or trying to tell Rusty that's he's not always right. Or trying to tell Humbug that his 7870 is not the greatest gpu ever. Or trying tell Petey that the Peter is nothing more than a ugly version of the Accelero. I'll stop now before i have no friends left here.
Oh, I thought you already had it on the gpu.
Y'know, after ScottiB's warranty info, I'm all excited again. Can't wait to get this show on the road.
If only I ordered a day earlier...
No not yet not taken it apart since i last took it apart few months back when 'good old tommy' gave me his g1 for free. I've applied it to my cpu though (gelid that is not G1 you daft buggers) and it knocked 2c off of MX4 which was pretty good to be fair.
