I must say that both the cooling system, Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition, and the MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC, are quite serious contenders. In contrast to the reference solutions chipmakers, which also contain quite extensive packages dissipating heat plates, two fans, and a number of heat pipes. MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC has as many as five, in which two of them are 8mm. And, despite this, the results of ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme III came out as the undisputed leader both on the efficiency of cooling GPU, and the level of noise.
