I am looking for any aftermarker cooler for the HD5970, I know its an old card but its like all support for these has fallen of the face of the world!!
Arctic cooling made one for it but its discontinued, and so far same goes for all the water blocks...

Ebay is no help either....

Anyone?

Finally I figured it out. The card seems to have a cold bug.

While lurking on about probably 30 forums, I saw a post that someone wrote:

Hi, Its called a cold bug. Open catalyst and create a slight overclock (5mhz) preset. Name the file and go to c:/users/username/appdata/local/ati/ace/profiles

there will be your created preset there. open it with notepad and change values 15700 which is a core speed when idle to 40000. also change mem speed from 30000 to 90000. save it and run preset from catalyst.

now when idle your core will be set tro 400 and mem to 900 and this should fix your cold bug.

I got home, tried it and BAM! worked! Now when I try to OC the card, it does downclock when idling...
