I installed mine for about one week and still have 10.11(out of the box). I need time to bench the games, see what's what with the 11.4 and aaaaafter that I'll unlock it.
Not very happy with the temps though, it idles at 43C and reaches 80c after several hours in Metro. I wonder how much hotter it'll get once I OC it!
Get Afterburner and set up a custom fan profile. The idle fan speed is unnecessarily low.
2x Sapphire 6950s @ 6970, no worries.
Good thing I got that $50 1kW modular BFG PSU a few months back. Had to mod it to improve 12V3 and 12V4 ripple, but that wasn't a problem.
I'm just using the overdrive in CCC, the fan is always set at 45%.
Nope! Just the one. Maybe I just got a bad card, we'll see about that. I could keep my CF 4870 at 28-31C and 37-41C respectively range at idle.
I got an itch to remove the cover and the heat sink, but it'll mean bye bye warranty here. For the time being I'm just using it normally.
250/150 idle clocks.
It's really not that loud, for me at least. The card is Gigabyte reference.
Hi, I unlocked my 6950's shaders but my afterburner showed a max of 840core which forced me to use a saphire 6970 bios. How does one go to a core 1000 on a 6950. Also how do I increase voltages as msi afterburner refuses to make any voltage changes for modded cards. My 3d mark vantage p score is 19113 with 20925gpu score. Is this standard or less at 900/1400 without voltage changes. ThanksI backed myself down to 6950 with unlocked shaders.
Hi everyone,
I just bought a MSI reference 6950 & flashed it to 6970 after editing the bios of the card to unlock the shaders. Running now 24x7@900,1400.
I don,t know how to increase voltages as msi afterburner does not allow modded cards to change voltages. I game at approx.67-73 degrees celsius with a custom fan profile vide afterburner.
3dmark 11(p) 5280.
Any advise would be appreciated.

Whoops, a little late in reading this :SThat's bad-ass... I've never seen anyone mod their PSU before. Did you just add extra caps to the +12v rails?
