Not worth the hassle IMO.Twin frozr 2 is probably a better option at this price point.

It seems as if the Asus, MSI and Sapphire models perform the best.

(Cooling and performance)

In this case, the 7870 is not worth the premium. It does not O/C any higher, and clock for clock is only about 6% faster when run at same speeds.
