I agree with all of this minus the last two sentences.

 

Maxwell cards really dont need watercooling unless you are Bios hacking. My Strix 980 has never been above 67c even when looping Unigine heaven/valley while overclocked. So you are not going to hit a thermal throttle situation on maxwell.

 

I would argue that watercooling is not dead, it has always been expensive and had many potential points of failure. But it has been getting cheaper and safer over the years. It has never been mainstream and still wont be for the foreseeable future, however there will still be enthusiasts out there who utilize it.

 

pcper show a evga waterblock on a 980 reaching only 40c max load but instantly gain extra 100mhz from gpu boost without touching anything.

either they\ll release a new bios for more voltage increase or like other say we might get a custom bios
