Thanks for all the info Nospheratu! I've been researching this upgrade for weeks (single 7970m in an R2) and I have a few questions I can't seem to find good answers to. So Dell cards don't have any problems burning out the RGB screen to your knowledge? I had read elsewhere that the Clevo cards were the safe ones, but I'll defer to you on this one since you and svl7 seem to be the most knowledgeable. Also, I was wondering if the clevo cards had the same 85*C limit? And out of curiosity do you reach those temps often? Thanks in advance!
AssimilatorX, I'm having the same issue with my card, I purchased one with the 015.017 vbios and I believe it's also an A00. I get 3 beeps with the card, no POST. Were you ever able to get it to work? And is it even possible to do a blind flash if your PC won't POST? And for clarification, are you saying the A00's don't work with either 017 or 022, or the A00's don't work at all? Thanks!
