I already have a water cooling ready MoBo so will be doing a full duel loop and all the trimmings, the great thing with this card is that it can run on air untill such time that I have all the components I need to build the loops.
Oh and it runs ED rather well

Sadly that graphics card won't run on your machine. I've checked.

I'd be willing to take it off your hands for a token price?...



Sweeeeet!:)

GD, you must have forgotten all that trouble you had with your kit last year - and there's still that elusive screw. I'm afraid this would just add to your woes.
On the other hand, my hand-built wonder is quite capable of accommodating such a card and I'm quite happy to save your embarrassment by making the same offer.

Very nice, congrats

HA! Nice try W! I think we can all see what your game is.

Elite: Dangerous. What else?

Excellent riposte. I yield.

I have a GTX 980Ti (it's a PNY, with the standard NVIDIA heatsink/fan setup), and at least a liquid-cooled CPU. I can highly recommend them.

I will say that I still get stuttering in supercruise a fair amount, but I think that has more to do with the game checking the network for something than anything you can solve by upgrading your machine. But when it's not being stupid, I can get 100-800fps with vsync turned off. Also, even with a small corsair H55 cooler on the CPU, it tends to stay about 77 Fahrenheit, and even the GPU never really gets above 100 Fahrenheit, even in a PC case barely larger than an xbox one.

You are going to enjoy that full liquid cooling setup.

Sorry to say the card went in fine without losing any screws or requiring a re homing to someone else at a token cost....

I have a partial water cooling already a corsair H100i for the CPU which does a great job. However I upgraded the motherboard a while ago to a Maximius Formula VII which has the built in ports for cooling the MOSFET components so its only right that I do it full justice and go the whole hog and put the lot underwater.
I'll post some pics before during and after to show progress.

Excellent. What's your screen setup/resolution?
