Damn my lulling you into a false sense of security ultimately ending in my stealth bumming technique has been uncovered!

Where are you guys getting this info and what do you mean by 'newer'. I bought my card less than two weeks ago, it is the same model no. as currently on sale on Ocuk and it is NOT voltage locked.
I've been trying to get this point across for some time now...but has fallen on deaf ears.
Its possible and probable that these 'locked' cards, appeared volt-locked due to a bug in afterburner looking for lightning VRM's.

to answer the questions above:
The temps shown in the data are from non-affected cards
Any non-metallic thermal grease - we can provide some if you wish
to my knowledge only one batch, all of which were shipped to OcUK
So if I replace the TIM with some IC diamond all is well?

Have a go and see what the temps will be like, remember that IC diamond is for CPUs not GPUs so the temps might not go down by far. IMO it should drop by few C
When you buy gigabyte or his make sure to tell us your results.
You must be a mind reader! I've ordered the wf3 and should arrive tomorrow will let you know how I get on with it.
Should stop talking about it in here though due to this being the Msi thread!
Doesnt matter, I'm thinking of changing the title because theres lots of info about different things not just the MSI 7950
Good buy, make sure to post a picture of fitted card in your case as well ;]

Will do! Just hope I can get away from work to take the delivery!! Might have to drive to the depo otherwise.
My neighbors (retired) always collect it as sometimes its hard to get home before 3pm. Very nice people.
Daft question, but the offer on here states it comes with vouchers for those 6 games, i take it you have to download all of the games then, or do you order the games with the vouchers ?
And if the latter is true, do you need to have the actual cd/dvd in your cd/dvd/blueray player to play the game ?

They're all digital download from either Steam/Origin/Ubisoft
