Question 1

I am looking for a cooling fan for XFX R7970 Black Edition graphic card.  Model FX-797A-TD, Part No. FX-797A-TDBC.  Will this product work on this card?

Accepted Answer

Compatability for this is:

AMD Radeon 
R9 280(X) ,270(X), R7 265, HD 8970, 8950, 8870, 7970 (GHz),7950 (Boost), 7870(XT,GHz), 7850, 6970, 6950, 6870, 6850, 6790, 5870, 5850, 5830, 4890, 4870, 4850, 4830

Do note that this will take up almost all of your slots with the stabilizer bracket, Hardest part of the installation is trimming the plastic barrier for the backplate.  Cooling performance is pretty good and its very quiet.

Question 2

Hey,

I have a PowerColor HD7970. When looking through the list of compatible cards, it lists the HD7970 GHz edition. The clock of my card is 925Mhz. Does this mean it will not fit my card? Is there a design difference between an HD7970 GHz vs one that isn't? Please let me know, thanks.

Hey Tim, the only difference between your card and that GHz edition is the GPU Core is factory overclocked. There isn't a hardware difference that will cause this to be incompatible.

I will however, warn you about this cooler in particular. This is one of the more difficult ones to assemble. You can also damage your card by using this cooler, i.e. getting the screws too tight. It also fits a little funny on it so it makes the card another 4 inches longer than it already is. BUT, it does a fantastic job of cooling your video card. I am currently running mine at about a solid 30 degrees Celsius, 34 degrees C when I'm gaming with some really intense gaming requirements.

Question 3

Are the fans removable?

Accepted Answer

I think so, but then you'll have to removes plastic housing with those fans too. Fasns are real quite and efficient tho. I wouldn't take em off

Question 4

I have the HD7950-DC2-3GD5-V2.  Will this cooler fit it?

Accepted Answer

Yes...it fits the 7950 boost and Having had mine for over a year I will say it does a great job cooling the 7970 I run; make sure you have adequate ventilation and space because your video card is about to become a bit larger and needs the space to work properly as does any air cooled divice. Enjoy !

Question 5

Will this fit a sapphire hd7960, it says with booster, but i think mine is without the boost? thank you

Accepted Answer

No such thing as 7960. I have 7950s and this fit no problem. Better off save money now and buy a better card. These are pretty old now.  Look into 380-390-furyx or nvidia side 970-980-980ti.

This cooler fits 7950. I have saphire boost and reference as well. No fit problem. Personally, I wouldnt even waste money on this now. Buy a better card

Question 6

can I put it on a gtx 1060 Zotac Mini 6gb?

Accepted Answer

No, case is different.

Question 7

Will this cooler work with the xfx HD7970 DD Ghz edition?

Accepted Answer

You betcha.....

Question 8

Is this compatible with a Sapphire - Reference R9 290X?

Accepted Answer

Sean, this is not compatible with the R9 290X.
