The temps are way over the place, and some cards get much hotter than others. I need to take them all apart and re-apply thermal paste on all of them, and try some different cooling solutions.

I would recommend HIS H797QM3G2M, as that is what d3ad0ne has in his 8x 7970 rig, and he has had far less problems than me.

I think GIGABYTE GV-R797TO-3GD might be worth looking at as well. I don't know anyone who has one, but I feel like that's the one I should have gotten.

Thanks, great information! Are you looking at the gigabyte for better quality components or because it has three fans, or both?
