there will be 4 dont you worry, but thats when i move house from Switzerland Back to the UK

but the motherboard only fits 3, how are you going to put the 4th one in?

you'll have to change all the cards back to the 2 slots type (reference model), instead of the 3 slots type (DirectCut models) to be able to fit 4 in there

watercooling of course, but dont have time right now as im moving so no point starting it till ive finished moving in about 2 months

These dont overclock any better on water ftom what ive seen. U may be better and cheaper off getting ref cards... Bestvive gotten on air is 1210 / 1800 on stock volts. Increasing volts did nothing.

re: water cooling

that kinda defeats the whole purpose of getting HD7970-DC2T-3GD5
when cheap reference 7970 can be flashed with the HD7970-DC2T-3GD5 BIOS and run the same

by removing the DC2 ginormous HSF you only shave off 1 slot
so yes technically you can still squeeze in 4 cards

i'd have gone reference if that was the goal.

but unless you can find a compatible thin version of the WC kit for video cards, those by itself usually also takes up a good 2 or 3 slot space per tube+plate

so you are still back to square one with only being able to put 3 cards in there instead of 4

the main reaso i got that version of card was for 6 screens not cos it was a dc2top card for the cooler its was for the 6 screen output nothing more.

and i will water cool them just for spare saving to have 4 of them not for over clocking

[AllGamer]

that makes sense, i did also choose this card for the 6 output, made it way easier for Eyefinity setup

see method in my madness :P

I have a ASUS hd6950 DirectCU ii 2GB it has 4 Displayports and 2 DVI it supports 6 monitors although I only have 3 hooked up right now and its awesome!

[Spoony]

i got the 7970 top eyefinty 6 card and i got 6 screens and cant get more than 3 working and yes i got active adapters and 3 of my monitos are displayport ready anyway.

its starting to piss me off now
