I'm not exaggerating anything. AMD admitted it and said it was heat related. Read the damn articles. :shrug:

heat is the reason I have a mugen 2 also, and have my 5770 @ 1ghz with 70% fanspeed. I did that all because of heat.

Here's my 5970 watercooled. :)

Ek made a super water block. :)

That looks cool & quiet!
Is it available so far or just a sample?
It looks great! Can you get higher clocks?

If you flash to ASUS 5970 bios, you can use smartdoctor for 1.45 vcore & AMD gpuclocktool to go above 1000mhz core. Your bios is flashed to 1270 memory minimum? You've used overvolt tool to increase memory voltage?

Thanks for your results. :up:
Even though you are at > 1.3v, it is incredible that Vrms can goto 80-90C even under a full cover waterblock.
