I didn't read enought and bought the GPU and didn't realize it was overclocked. I'm using a Bitphoenix Prodigy and I have a optical drive so I only have two 120mm fans in it. Is that enough to keep this thing cool or is there a way to remove the overclock? I'm not into overclocking due to the risk and how much this GPU costs. Ill just be gaming casually and using it for movies and work. What should I do? Am I ok with it how it is?
Bought a Gigabyte GV-R7970OC-3GB and I'm not sure about the overclock?

its stock overclocked which to their spec and cooling should run no problem and be within temps. If u overclocked it, it'd be a different story. If u really want to lower the overclock ull need to go into a program like msi afterburner to manually lower the clocks. whats the exact model gpu? the gigabyte cooler with that slight overclock prob coolers better and is more quiet than the stock clocked reference designed 7970

that card has a great cooler as the 3 fans help, and its one of the quietest ones, and its clocked at 1000mhz to the stock 925, so the oc isnt much and the extra heat is easily handled by the windforce 3 cooler.
