Hi,

Just after some views from owners -

I am thinking of two 7950s in crossfire with a non reference design. (MSI Twin Forzr or similar).

BUT how are temps in crossfire, wont the top card get roasted alive as no hot air gets exhausted out the rear of the case?

With one card i think it works ok, but with two unless the air gets blown out the rear (as it does with the reference design) its going to dump a lot of hot air into the case...

erm...

the twin frozrs will be a lot better for cooling (i.e top card) as they have heatpipes and double 80mm fans... so should be ok

to help, make sure you have 1 or 2 side fans blowing air directly on the GPU's... this will help with the heat
