Right some of you may be aware that i am getting annoyed with AMD! i have two 7950's that run quite hot, they no longer cut out though wooo!
Now i am thinking of replacing them with one card and selling them. What do i need to get to get something better than them? Im air cooled so just running stock
 
thats the idea if i can sell them for 150 each i'll be on my way to something new! Lovely cards individually but my case is cramped and the driver issue is beyond a joke for me now.

maybe start by getting a decent case, the shinobi bitfenix is really bad in thermal tests, no wonder your GPUs are hot...and you have crossfire lol.
here is some comments from a review on thermal testing
"Unfortunately for the Shinobi, the results we garnered from our thermal testing weren’t great. With just a single 120mm exhaust fan, the case produced a peak CPU delta T of 60o; a poor result that's much hotter than those from other cheap cases such as the Antec One Hundred and the Xigmatek Utgard.

GPU cooling was disappointing as well, with the GPU hitting a Delta T of a whopping 49oC. This is the worst GPU cooling result we’ve yet seen with our current test kit, which means that the Shinobi sits last on our GPU test graph"

it's a miracle that your cards are still working

im gettin 84 degrees on watch dogs on ultra as well got my fans going some mind you but i play with a headset on. I wouldnt mind a new case i was thinking of goign ITX or something but i may just stay big but something nicer.

I have a hole in the side of the case now and two exahusts there one at the top and one at the back as well its all taking the air out and two on the front pumping the cold air in.

Its a good question .... I just don't have the answer :) ... it came this way and I did look into water cooling the GPU's but they are not the AMD Ref build cards so it was hard at the time to find something I liked so I gave up ...

Was the case used or it came with the water cooling as standard? sorry for the questions. Its a little ugly from the front.
