660 ti worth water cooling

Ok here's my situation.

 

Currently i am cooling my fx 6300 with a corsair h55, and I am planning to upgrade my cooler to the Swiftech H220x (want the the H240x but it doesnt seem like theyre ever going to restock the damn thing)

 

My gpu is the gtx 660 ti by pny.   I was thinking about upgrading to the 960 when it comes out, but i really dont do that much heavy gaming. ( mostly work with FL Studio and play skyrim to calm down when my brain hurts.)

 

That being said i am considering getting the kraken g10 to hook up my h55 to the 660 ti.

 

Is this a smart move?  Hoping it will quiet this cards blower fan and maybe get a decent overclock out of it.

 

 

I appreciate  your time and any help.

It really isn't worth the effort to watercool it in my honest opinion. Although if you have the h55 lying around you can always have a go.

The bracket is only $30, and you already have the H55 cooler, I would do it. It will significantly reduce your GPU temps and perhaps let you OC a bit further.

actual i found the bracket on amazon for 20$.  My main thing is the noise level.  This card gets up to 50 degrees at idle and under a minimal load stays at around 82 and sounds like a damn vacuum.

unless you are BIOS hacking for more voltage, no not really a performance

enhancement with brackets, coolers and case flow issues.

 

from my experiences, unless you are not going to move the voltage to 1.35v +

there is no need as your capped out with under 1.3v and pseudo power gains.
