Just like the title states. I've got 3x Powercolor 7950's (reference boost). 2 have been used for mining for about a month and a half. The other one is a fresh from RMA card. I tried putting all three in my rig, and well....the middle card gets too hot this way (P8P67 Pro, look at the PCIe config you'll see why). The two I've been using have NEVER seen over 80*C cores and 65*C VRM's (I pulled the shrouds off and mounted a fan over the VRM's....shrouds are back on now).
All 3 function perfectly, and clock fairly well considering the poor reference cooler (1050 / 1650 at stock voltage). All 3 have unlocked voltage.
Wanting to trade for 2x 7970's with voltage control and a half decent cooler on them, or 2x 280x's. Would also trade for R9 290's with aftermarket coolers as well plus cash.
Not really wanting to sell. I want to keep roughly the same performance, but I'd be happy with less....but use less heat and power. With all 3 cards, I trip my breaker. With 2 it works fine.
So that's why I'm really wanting to try to get ahold of 2x 7970's or 2x 280x's.
well i need a second 7950. it would be for cash as i have nothing worth trading, unless you're interested in some hot rodded lga775 quad core systems (doubtful).
Tempting, very. I'm just leary about the Diamond brand name on them (never owned Diamond cards before).
Once I come up with some cash for shipping, if you've still got them I might take you up on it. The heat is killing me, its 100*F outside, and I have no AC.
Depends on the price really. I'd honestly REALLY like to just somehow trade into two cards instead of 3. I'd almost just settle for two of these 7950's, but I'd really REALLY like to go with a black and blue themed rig. These red cards stick out like a sore thumb.

I'm not sure what they're worth either honestly. Probably a lot less than I'd like lol. I paid 300 each on these in January sadly. That's kinda why I just wanted to trade because I figured it probably isn't worth selling at such a loss.
It's really starting to look like I'm not going to get these traded, lol. I have 2 of them just sitting here in a drawer because I can't use them (breakers pop). Obviously its pointless to sell these, because they're just about worth nothing now (I paid between $250-300 per card).
