HD 7970 Noticable?

[sinned1994]

I can get 2 one for free:

•Lian Li PC-60FN (without window )

•Corsair Carbide 300R Window

Of the two, would go for the 300R. The Lian Li looks a bit basic IMO, not that many features.

I have a 7950 Gigabyte Windforce. I guess there must be 7970 also. It is extremely quiet! I am very pleased. Fan never goes above 50% use and still the temps are low. I run Furmark and I think it stabilized around 61 C after 5 minutes. But the most important is that it is quiet during my Milkeyway@home (BOINC) calculations that runs on the GPU (up to 100% use). I have that going all the time when I'm logged on (and not gaming) and nobody in the family is complaining.

I recently bought a Fractal Design Define R4 case and this is when I run the built in fans on 7 V (from built in fan controller) and added a 12 cm Noctua fan in the bottom (also on same fan controller). And that case is also very nice at keeping the noise inside. I also added my custom made hard disk bay where the disks are hung in rubber wires. That last is what made it overall very silent!

Anyway, i would say, if it isn't to late for you - go for a non reference cooler!

Are there already fans in the 7970 which keep it cool?? . And is it one or 2? ( fans )

My post above shows you how many fans there are on the reference and non-reference Gigabyte card.
