If i got a gpu watercooling braket for my 780ti, would it make it last longer? (as in, it does not stop working as soon)  Any help would be appreciated

 

Sorry if its a weird or random question, just wondering if would help

If your going to overclock, Yeah it'll last longer & run cooler.

It the temps on card are really good from water cooling maybe an extra 1 or 2 (possibly only 7 months if water cooling is not that good)

The life of a card does depend on the temp at which the card is running at, however unless you are doing serious overclocking the stock cooler should be adequate. What are you planning on doing with the card, and how much would that cost for your exact card?

I dont plan on overclocking at all

I dont plan on watercooling at all

then why would you buy the watercooling bracket?

About $400 CDN i think (still waiting to see) and i just plan on gaming, however, i am fine with going from 1440p to 1080p if it means my card lasts longer. (im coming from console so it will be great either way)

For possible better stock fps and hopes it lasts longer (cant upgrade for at least 3 years)

Would a h55 AIO be okay?

but without a AIO liquid cooler it wouldn't do anything...

Oops, i said watercooling, i meant overclocking.  Fixing it now

okay you had me confused for a second Yeah, it should increase the life of the card assuming it doesn't break 90c already other then that, Overclocking can help you get a few frames out of it too.

Would it be worth the extra 100$?  (im not the that rich but i can get it only if it adds a year or 2 at least)

No, it wouldn't last noticeable longer. Since Nvidia doesn't really allow it, to go in critical temperature regions (>85°C), it doesn't really matter in terms of lifespan.

But you can clock the gpu higher, if it's running cooler.

 

I would put the money aside for a new gpu in a few years. If you run a 780Ti without massive overvolting and at around 85°C it will last you a long time.

 

edit: Just read, that you don't want to overclock it. In that case your gpu will last you most likely another 10 years.

I am not sure about the CDN prices however at the price I would say you are better off getting a more powerful card! However you should not need to worry about card life, I have been using my 780 to run a 1440p and 1080p monitor for over 4 years without any problems.

Thank you, and thats 10 years without the watercooling?

Okay, thats good news.  And btw, a 970 in CDN prices is around $450

Than you everyone for the help

Yea you would be better off buying a great card, because as was said earlier with Nvidia cards you do not really need to worry about their lifespan.
