Radeon 5970 Overclocking: The VRM Temperature Bottleneck

[BababooeyHTJ]

I did and do, 295 delivers great clock speeds with just modifying the stock fan speed profile and software voltage tuner; the 295 was pretty much made to OC. (see sig for clocks) I've rarely seen the GPU go over 75C in gaming at the below clocks.

and how dose that card perform against a 5970? How long after GT200 launch did that card hit the market? It's not even on the same die size as the original GT200. Also how do you even know your vrm temps?

So, you have seen the GPU over 75c? At what fan speed, even though there is no way for you to know you vrm temps which this thread is about? I know for a fact that those GPU temps are limiting your OC.

I know that the vrms on my GTX280 can get hot as he**.
