Hello again Tom's Hardware!
I recently purchased a Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7970 GHz Edition and am loving it!
I did however just realise that my MoBo (ASUS P8P67) only supports PCIe 2 while my GPU supports PCIe 3. I am curious as to how much performance (gaming wise) I will lose due to having this older motherboard?
Also as a side note.
I like to keep my computer running nice and cool and hence tend to have my fan speeds rather high (noise doesn't bother me and I have headphones)
Will higher fan speeds damage my GPU at all?
I tend to have it on 50% until 40C (idle is 27C) then increase by 10% every 10C until 100% at 70C (My card has yet to go above 55C)
