I have the same issue with my Xfire 7970's each card runs at 95 degrees under load and amd reckons its intended. I wanted to get a water block for each of my cards but im to scared to lose the guarentee on 2x R7000 cards.

Yea i just saw a installation guide and i think I’m going to pass for now hahaha, unless there is someone out there that actually does installations.
 
You'll only lose your warranty if they can see that you've removed the cooler. Just be careful and you should be good.

Apparently the thermal compound you use on the RAM chips and chip are pretty intense for the GPU coolers, according to Tomshardware you can’t take the aftermarket cooler of once it’s on without pulling off some RAM chips.

You shouldn't need heatsinks for the memory at standard clock speeds but if you want something you can easily take off get the chips with adhesive pads, they come off pretty easily
