Thanks, BigBruiners! |
Definetly not worth it for that card. In fact, water cooling a graphics card is unnecessary unless you have a hot air pocket (in which case, its cheaper to get a better case), or you plan on doing a lot of voltage tweaks to the card.
The limiting factor on video card overclocks is not heat, its the fixed voltage value that 99% of cards have, your included. |
