I've recently been looking at different 7970 GE cards to purchase and was originally looking at the Gigabyte WF3. I read some of the reviews for it and apparently the VRMs are gettings temps from 95C-115C. The card itself comes at a higher voltage and clocks than reference and was wondering if this is one of the reasons it had such high VRM temps. I also did some research and found that reference coolers generally do better in regards to VRM temps, but as 7970 GE doesn't really have any reference models I was thinking about the XFX Double D (very slight OC from what I can tell but I may be reading it wrong, could be stock) and Sapphire Vapor X 3GB (at stock clocks).
Can anyone tell me if these cards will yield better temps for the VRMs than the Gigabyte card?
Which card would be the best from these three to go for (given a price difference of $10 between the three)?
