I couldn't care less if it idles at 50C, it won't hurt anything doing so, and if it is because they make the fan barely spin at idle then that's just fine. I mean, really, who cares if it idles 35C or 50C? Load is where the temp matters more, and at idle silence is more important.

At the same time, part of me also doesn't care too much since I watercool anyway And then in the grand scheme of things it really doesn't affect me at all as the odds of me buying a new card anytime soon is next to nothing as my 7950 is doing just fine

What about AnandTech reviews, nobody likes them?

Their benchmark reviews are pretty mediocre. Techreport or Hardware.fr for performance reviews. Anandtech for architecture discussion and analysis.

Realworldtech is better at that, though they only do cpu stuff.

I like them, but I like TR more.
