Awesome Card

XFX Double D Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card FX-797A-TDFC

Pros: Was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but I've had it for about 3 months now and it has never given me any problems. Runs nearly everything I throw at it maxed out. I recently setup a three monitor eyefinity setup and it hasn't skipped a beat. It isn't the best 7970 you can get, but if you catch it on sale it can be a great deal.

Cons: Voltage locked! A little disappointed by this, but I can still get it overclocked past the GHZ edition.

Overall Review: Definitely not as bad as some of these reviews suggest. I'm glad I went for it.

Excellent cooler

Pros: Needed a powerful cooler that would fit in my case. This thing was about an inch smaller than similar models and fit nicely without having to remove my side fan. The push-pull design works great, especially at this price point. At full load I was always going over 60C at stock speeds, just OC'd from 3.0 to 3.6 and the temp stays right at 50C full load with this on there. Great fan!

Cons: Instructions will have you put this thing in backward, just make sure the arrows on the fan are pointing in the right direction. Other than that the instructions are much easier than people are saying on here. I had no issues.

Overall Review: Awesome heat sink. Should meet the needs of all but the heaviest of power users.
