Hey guys, so until 2 days ago I had an MSI R7850 Twin Frozr in my rig which worked perfectly fine with no problems. Since then I have upgraded to the XNX R7970. Now whenever i'm gaming (or doing anything demanding) my CPU's heat jumps to 90+ degrees celsius and i am barely seeing a performance boost in any of my games. any help anyone? :(
