I am now just starting to hear about this sort of limitation.... Wondering just how bad it is......
From all the review sites that I have read up about the 9700, it didnt show any sort of "lip" around the core preventing direct cooling.
I suppose the worst that I would need to do is sandwich a coper plate between the core and the GPU block to act as a conduit for the heat.... just wouldnt be as efficent.
Anyone have any more details about this "lip" in question? Pictures would be even better!
Thanks again for all your posts.
