Hello all,
This is my first new thread here so please bare with me
Im new to GPU cooling, and with enough googling around for a comparison chart of GPU cooling temps, for the love of god i could not find a decent one.
So im here asking the lords of comparion
Basically i have a 780 ti Classified edition from EVGA and the card is very well bigger than the reference card.
Im confused if the water blocks will usually fit these because the card is big and i am worried about the positions of VRM's etc compared to the reference card.
If the blocks fit, i would like to know which block would give out best flow rate with cooling capacity, because there are many options with different metals im scared that if i order just anyone i want, with the wrong combination, i would fry the card
The options that i have considered are these
1. EK-FC780 GTX Ti DCII GPU Waterblock - Acetal + Nickel

2. Bitspower VG-NGTX780TI Nickel Plated ICE Black Acrylic Top

3. Aquacomputer Kryographics for GTX 780 Ti Acrylic Glass Edition, Nickel Plated Version

I am not sure if these deliver high performance, because i am all about performance, i'd rather save a little more money and get a good one than settle for something that i can get with what i have.
Also i would be great full if someone could explain what exactly does only nickel or nickel + acetal mean and is one better than the other or its just something for just aesthetics.
Thanks guys. I'd really appreciate any input in this matter of mine
