I updated my signature to contain the specs of the latest rig I built. I'm running CCC 10.4 and did update the bios to get manual fan control. I OC'ed the card, but I have the fan profile to ramp up the fan if the temps get past 60 which they almost never do. The temps do idle at mid 40s to low 50s though. Aside from benching, DAO, MW2 and others just don't really stress the 5970...
I hope you get access to a new water block soon, sorry to hear of the trouble it's giving you.
