Attention HD5970 owners

Nope, just a few it seems. Still, way too many to call this an "isolated issue"

I was so looking forward to this build now with this info I'm really confused with what to do. I would hate to buy a water block to use as a paperweight. Has any one tried this with any success?

Sapphire 5970 purchased in November 09 and XFX 5970 BE purchased in March 10 both have the problem with an EK block on them but are fine with the stock cooler.

Sapphire overclocks like a wild thing with 1.15v volts and the XFX is a dud clocker requiring 1.2v just for 850 core....pos.
