trying to get this new cooler for my 6970 to work... the fans that came with the cooler were queit, so i to zip tied a giant and very powerful fan to it (I accidentally shredded a piece of paper with it). It still gets super bad temperature. I have tried redoing the thermal paste 5 times with both as5 and other pastes. Stock clocks Any suggestions are welcome in comments, thanks.
Turns out board was semi faulty. After a week of normal gaming (i didn't want to push it up to 95 any more) it died, and i sent it in for rma. I got a replacement from rma and i haven't seen it go above 75*c on the reference cooler, overclocked by about 10%. I also got a much better cpu and ram on a new motherboard.

ok "watch aticonfig --odgt" might have been better :P
