So I got the new driver and been using all day I not happy with it its make my 2 Sapphire 7970s oc boost editions cards get really hot really fast and the slave card gets hotter than the main card like I amd seeing temps of 40deg on idle and 45deg on second card and when playing games well they go over 70deg with the 13.6 driver I wasn't seeing anything like this at all I was seeing max of 60-65 on battlefield 3. I tested on metro last light (max settings) battlefield 3 (ultra) @ 2560x1440p and for the hell of I test a 3Dmark 11 test and its down buy 20% than my last score went from P12587 down to 10k didn't change any settings only done a fresh install of new beta driver

Same problem here! My 2 Sapphire 7970's are under water and use to idle at 27'c and now idle like 34-35'c and get really warm now, cards never use to go above 45'c and now they easily up in the 50's spiking a few times into the 60's. It's raising my CPU temps now as well due to them being hotter.

I couldn't figure out why they were so hot all of a sudden, I suspected it may have been the drivers but never bothered to check Google until now. Going back a driver to see if it changes. Thought it was something wrong with my loop.
