so just saw thishttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102982and decided its so cheap I cant resist. between $20 rebate, $50 sleeping dogs game and selling my old refrence sapphire 7970 on ebay, its only gonna cost me like $10. So excited to get this thing its supposed to be one of the quietest cards around where as mine now sounds pretty much like a jet engine all the time. I have an antec 1100 with 10 fans so dont really care if it dosent exhaust the heat out of the case. This card should OC more at like 20C cooler and all be quieter than my PSU and case fans. :D

If it's only $10, heck, that's great!

Ya ive never done it and normally wouldn't ever consider but I figured it was too good a chance to pass up as when the new ones come out I prb wouldn't get as much for mine on ebay. The noise and heat on the refrence card has just been so annoying and I didnt wanna be stuck with it for the next 1.5-2 years at least, or even longer if I get another and crossfire which these will crossfire MUCH better than the refrence cards.

Not to mention more room for overclock = more performance.

well my reluctance to use a 3rd party OC program such as sapphires trixx was the stupidest thing ever, it is perfectly light, minimized to the tray and make my card amazingly OC like a champ with good options to create my own presets for when im gaming or not and now I also have an awesome custom fan profile that I can just leave on all the time.
