Here's a cheap 7870 that I want to get. Tried googling but found nothing. Does MSI lock down voltages? Want to be able to overclock a bit further when needed especially that it has 2 fans : http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/AMD+Radeon/Radeon+HD+7870/MSI+Radeon+HD+7870+OC+2GB+GDDR5+Graphics+Card+%5BR7870-2GD5T%2FOC%5D+%2B+%C2%A310+CASHBACK%21+?productId=55841&rqcType=new#rqc

On another part of this forum I was told to avoid this 7870 by XFX because it locked down the voltage... hope the case isn't the same for the MSI one http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/XFX+Double+D+Radeon+HD+7870+GHz+Edition+%28Tahiti+LE%29+OC+2GB+GDDR5+Graphics+Card+%5BFX-787A-CNAC%5D+%2B+4+FREE+GAMES%21+?productId=55140
