Well, annoying that i have to wait a while but my faulty MSI GTX670 is being returned and replaced with a Gigabyte Windforce 3X
Sweet
Without having to trawl through 60 pages of posts what was wrong with the MSI card?

Tried literally everything under the sun to get it to work but it crashes and locks up my PC randomly. Doesn't do it in furmark or kombuster, they can run fine for an hour, but stick heaven or world of tanks on and after an indeterminate amount of time the PC will go to a red screen and lock up, even tried a new windows reinstall....reluctantly (lol) a different motherboard, but same thing.
Techpowerup, they have reviewed lots of different GTX 670s now and are very reliable:

OC 81 degrees. 70 degrees on full load still = throttling. You really dont understand the throttling issue do you? The temperature on these cards needs to be kept UNDER 70 degrees (that means 69 or less) to stop the boost clock dynamically underclocking the card. All the custom designs are able to manage this while the card is running up to and over 1250 Mhz, the reference card cant even stay below 70 degrees at the stock 915 Mhz base clock / 1084 Mhz boost.
Custom designs do 1250+ Mhz <70 degrees.
Stop over rating the pathetic stock cooler.
Hmmm, well I've been given an RMA now to return my KFA2 and get a Gigabyte or Asus insead, but I dont think its worth paying to send it back plus the extra cost of those models just for lower temperatures when my card is staying under 70 degrees now.

Temps are meaningless without knowing what the ambient temp of the room is etc.

Some reviews seem more legit than others and do good job of explaining the intricacies of their testing procedure, the above review stating 70C at full load seems about right in those testing condition's for a ref, the same goes for the tech review.
Waterblock is on course for delivery today
Time to rule out temps holding my card back!
let us know if you could squeeze out more mhz!
The Vortez review is done on an open bench, with a big fan above the graphics card too lol:

And the reference card gets up to 70 degrees still lol.
Techpowerup's review was done in a full system:

82 degrees with the card inside a case. *** Stop antagonising other members **
I will, I'll update here with pics of the strip down and results, god I hate leak testing and bleeding
My new stable high OC on air is 1359/7160

Its probably gonna be £20-£40 more for OC edition, better off overclocking it yourself IMO!
It is far better than a reference 7970. The Asus DCUII 7970 is also a triple slot card.
