After reading all the second look reviews it seems that if you plan on overclocking the 7970 > the 680 so I went with the Gigabyte 7970 with the 3 fan cooler. This thing idles in the low 30's and hasn't been out of the 60's under load.

I have it running at 1200/6000 so far and it's been fantastic. Quite a bit faster than my 580.
