K404 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Would MSI like to comment on why the shape of the heatsink makes CF-X bridges a hassle to connect? Edited March 21, 2012 by K404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 21, 2012 Crew Share Posted March 21, 2012 We asked the same at CeBIT Kenny... I think they have got loads of those in stock and just adapt them to the PCB and parts underneath it... I hope the pot mounting will go flawless...

Not if you want to use a backplate...that little extra GPU power thingy would get crushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofos1990 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 7970 Lightning and DCII haven't convinced me yet! I mean that I haven't noticed anyone with huge clocks (elmor doesn't count once he is working for MSI). On the other side many ref. cards have scaled at 1600+ core.
