1175Mhz @ 1.2v here. 1775Mhz memory. Not going to go any higher then that. 45C is good temp. I get higher temp because i run fans at low speed and only got a slim 360 RAD.

2.) Try doing a custom install for the drivers and uncheck the HDMI/audio driver part. You might have to go into the device manager and uninstall the sound device that's associated with the 7970. I had to do that with my 560Ti or else some games would crash on me. Oh how I miss those perfect Nvidia drivers. rolleyes.gif

I ended up using ATIman Uninstaller and it fixed my scaling issue. Sound works fine now... but still can't get the other drivers to work on them. Will keep trying!

My card does have good cooling, an ultra kaze blowing on it, and VRM heastsinks but I feel that this temp is still unlikely.
AIDA64 showed my VRMs to get toasty when I still used the reference blower so I assumed it was working fine. Is yours a reference card?

Nope, It is a HISiceQ 7950. I thought there were only 2 cards that did not use the reference pcb, and this is not one of them.

99% of cards are the "revised" 7950 pcb including your HIS. AMD never released an actual reference 7950 which is the same pcb at the 7970. The only two reference looking 7950s are SonDa5 and the chinese made one.

Well it seems that this version does not have a thermal sensor on the VRMs or else my vrms are at the ambient temp inside my case... I have used AIDA, HWinfo, and GPU-z. both Aida and HWinfo say the VRMS are at 25 C and GPU-z does not display a VRM temp at all.

Hwinfo shows my vrm temps at 40c while the core is 45c. Just ran a furmark run to see. I would compare pics of the chil controller to see if HIS made an ic change.

Yes it does, but Ivy will only do 16x for a single card. If you are planning on doing a lot of OpenCL on a single card then Ivy is definitely the way to go. If you want more than one card, then LGA2011 makes a lot of sense. OpenCL depends more on latency than it does on total throughput, so 16x PCIe 3.0 is actually fairly desirable. Obviously in games you can pretty much chuck that out though as 8x PCIe 3.0 should be just fine. Complicated...

Thank you! I will just assume that my VRMs are the same temperature to 5 C hotter than my GPU die to allow for some room. My GPU is only running at 62 C while running BOINC at max load so I should be fine.

You could always jam a temperature probe in there if you get too worried about it. Many motherboards have jumpers for them, and 3.5in temperature monitors (LCD screens) that come with probes attached can be had as well.

This is the stock one from Techpowerups review
http://tpucdn.com/reviews/AMD/HD_7950/images/vreg_small.jpg

This is the Chip in the HISiceq 7950
http://benchmarkreviews.com/images/reviews/video_cards/H795QT3G2M/HIS_HD7950_IceQ_Turbo_3GB_CHIL_Voltage_Controller.jpg

They look the same to me, and both chips are the chil 8228G.
