Looks nice Jesus

I don't know if you noticed in my picture, but I ziptied a silverstone AP141 into the 5.25 bays to get rid of the hot air the Lightning spits back into the case. Previously (with D14, minor cable management, and no 5.25 bay fan) my Lightning, at the same clocks and voltage and 100% fan, hit 85C core, ~65C mem, and ~60C VRMs after a Heaven run.

I just ran Heaven, and my card now hits 71C core, 56C mem, and 50C VRMs.

Or if u rly want accelero xtreme you could buy this one:
http://www.commit.si/sl/virtuemart/22-strojna-oprema/92-zrano-hlajenje/95-vga-hladilniki/563-arctic-accelero-xtreme-plus.html
for half a price, u would only need the copper adapter that costs 3€.
I wanted xtreme but its too bit and wouldnt fit my case:(

Well, I just wanted to know does that Accelero Xtreme 7970 fit, Im not going to buy old stuff, when Im actually getting that for free & those newer ones perform better.

I used two AXP's on my 480sand they do an amazing job keeping things cool. I was able to OC my 480s to 950mhz on them and I still wasn't breaking 70 degrees on the core.

The only problem with the thing is it causes your cards to sag in a pretty major way compared to pretty much any other after market cooler. For that reason alone I'd probabally never use one again but the cooling performance is there w/o a doubt.

I don't know why they should cool better. Old cards run much hotter then todays cards thats why old coolers had to cool better than todays to get same temps. New labels are just marketing. Thats my logic and I could be wrong.

I've been reading about xtreme 7970 but still aint sure. To be honest I stopped reading when i saw the price tag:>

Does anyone know the precise length of the XFX Double D 7950? I know newegg claims it is 10.5", but that appeared to be a generalization. I'm looking to put it in the SG05 and every mm counts. Please let me know.

Are you serious? Thats passive vs active cooling, even if you put fans there, that Xtreme 7970 haves better heatpipes and aluminium fins = more metal, you know? You also should read reviews or something...

Trying to decide between reference or non reference. Really like the Double D, but I have an FT03 so I don't want my GPU dumping heat inside. What do you guys think?

I don't think there 40€ diference between this one and the 7970 version.
