Hey guys, just seeing if anyone has the HG10 GPU bracket on their GPU (specifically the GTX 770) and what cooler they have it paired with? Is it worth the money? I have gotten back into BF4 and my GPU cooks when i game, plus i have to run the fan on 80% and i'm sick of it being loud, and i feel the heat is also affecting the performance. So i'd just like to hear your experiences with the bracket and what you have it paired with. I was thinking of a H80i or 75 or something.

I myself have a 770 but took a different approach. I zip tied (literally) a seidon 120m onto my card, and put tiny heats inks onto the vrm and memory. Take a fan you have laying around and aim it at the heatsinks, and you have a card that doesn't clear 55 on extended heavy load

I have the hg10 a1 brackets on a crossfire 290x setup.  I am using corsair h50s on both cards and I am very pleased with the results for the money invested.  

 

I keep the rad fans at a low rpm and have the fan curve for the blowers set at 35% until they hit 75C+, so they never ramp up.

 

Yes, I could run these fans faster and have the card run a lot cooler....but it was more a combination of noise elimination and heat elimination.  A near silent overclocked crossfire 290x setup that runs a lot cooler than stock (around 70-72C max) is exactly what I wanted.
