...and less vdroop, but still i am not convinced that it is worth the extra money, especially if you watercool in which case the reference 7970 is a pretty good performer overall.

personally i don't mind just getting a current 7970 (the sapphire 7970 OC 3GB) and just OC the core clock to about 1200-1250 and be done with it for this generation.

Good to see a review with so many different blocks. Wish a little more info would have been provided like actual temps of gpus, ambient temps, and VRM temps.

I came close to getting the Heat Killer but then decided to go with the Swiftech MCW82-7900.

How much would it help?
What would be the best way to remove it without taking evrything out of my system or is that not possible?
Cheers.

How is the swiftech working for you?

What clocks you running and temps?

If you are careful you can even remove it in a way that you can use it back later if you want too..
A drill with a tiny bit ( a bit smaller than the rivets) would be enough you dont have to dismantle the thing...
If you have a dremel better...

See the problem with air is, that people think you can make miracles with it... Good airflow is good but gains are not that of a much..
In your case a couple of c gained is worth it, in another cases it is not.. If you can maintain the constant 80c as tops (depending on the ambient temp) then you have good airflow

80c in a crossfire setup in the top card it is great if you ask me...

Like i told you before, i would sacrifice a couple of mhz/volts in a overclock for better significance gains in temps.
You are in crossfire i dont think overclocking is even worth it right now...
