Matt, I have been trying to get hold of one since they launched. No where seems to sell the ones for the 7970. The only ones been sold which I can find are the base model for the ATIs, 7970 not included.
I even emailed Arctic, No reply.

Let me know if you have any luck getting hold of one as I would much prefer one over the Accelero.

They are not difficult to find.

I cant name the extremely large competitor to OCUK that has them in stock (I bought mine on tuesday).

Ah i thought you might have made an error. Back to the drawing board. :(

I've found a couple on an auction site but im not sure they're the right version. It seems arctic made two versions, one for pretty much every AMD/Nvidia card apart from the 7970 and one specifically for the 7970+ other cards.

Ok lets run a quick test and we'll compare. Unigine Valley, Extreme HD preset.

Stock voltage 1.112v, 1050/1500.

I will do two runs. Once with my accelero+pc fans on the quiet setting then another will everything at full speed which is not much louder.

Looks good wazz.

I think i have a hot card sadly but it makes up for it with it willingness to overclock a long way. I don't think it helps that ive bent and damaged some of my fins either. Its why im looking at getting an Accelero Hybrid, if i can find one. :p

I find it strange that your VRM chips read identical temps, in both tests as well. I wonder if you're lacking proper temp monitoring for either the vram or the vrm. The vrms should run much hotter than the dram chips.

Yes im having trouble finding the 7970 version. Can find the other version which fits every gpu but the 7970 all over the place.
