Gaming isn't going to come close to thermal throttling the 950 pro... Not that you will see any benefit anyways...

Posted

So I'm thinking about getting a 950 pro, but I am going to be running some heavy duty games on it. I know they tend to thermal throttle so I was wondering if anybody knew where I could find a water block? If I can't find a water block I will probably just put some ram heatsinks or some artic thermal pads on it.

Well I have a 850 pro and some load times are not as fast as i want so I wanted something faster

A 950 Pro won't fix that. Most game engines aren't meant to even come close to tapping out an SSD.
