I have the MSi 970 and OC to 1500Mhz, temps at max load while gaming is 82 degrees and 55 under normal use, it should be fine at that but want to take it down,

I know the NZXT G10 fits the 970 stock cooler (i know if i wanted to water cool i should've gone for the stock, but the MSI was 200$ cheaper on a 1 hour special so i go that).

 

Does anyone know if it will fit on the MSI? or what other part like the G10 where i can use a AIO cooler?

how about turning down your overclock a bit ? you wil manage to reducethe core voltqage and reduce the temp :P  play around with it and see if you can keep the same performances

Voltage on default, i haven't touched it, lets say i go from 1500Mhz to 1450 or 1400Mhz, will i see a big temp diff to get less FPS?

You'd probably notice a frame or two difference if you were actually benchmarking under controlled conditions, but its nothing you're ever likely to notice in an actual game. Overclocking is fun and we should all do it, but the performance impact gets a little hyped up sometimes.

Lowered my clock by 100 to get 1400Mhz, temp is 1 degree lower and fps is 10 less, so its worth it to run the Over clock.

BF4 with custom settings, running DRS with 4k res on 1080p monitor, 80 +- FPS

 

As far as iv read anything above 90degrees is a bit worrying so i dont think 44 at idle, 55 at general use (fan doesn't even turn on till 60 or 65) and 82 at Max usage.

I just want to know if i can use the NZXT G10

 

Im probably going to SLi so will have to go custom loop. Just wanted to know incase i dont go SLI and want to cool it as its a cheaper option than custom

According to this it has space for 3 option

I Measured the screw spacing on my MSi 970 and it messures 58.4mm x 58.4mm from middle of the screw to middle of the screw.
