Watercooled gtx 780

[Q_mods]

Hi,

 

I have a GTX 780 and i'm thinking of water cooling it. My CPU is already water cooled, so i have a loop and plenty of radiator space. I have experience whit GPU watercooling and my card is a reference card. 

 

The big question is how big will the preference boost be when i start water cooling this card. Do you get more overclocking headroom do to GPU boost 2.0 (last card i water cooled is a gtx 670)

GPU Boost 2.0 is based on temperature in addition to the usual things so yes it will give you more overclocking headroom yes

Oke, do i get 20% extra or more like 5%. i know is's different from card to card. bud what is a normal increase? 

I'm thinking of getting the Swiftech KOMODO-NV GTX 780.

The performance increase is entirely up to how your system is configurated. If you have A LOT of radiator space, you could push the card really hard and get a large increase in performance. Or you could turn the fans way down and get a VERY silent system (depending on your fans of course, but most are quiet a low RPM)

The performance increase is not equivalent to that which you would get by buying another card. If that's what you want.

I have Noctua NF-P12 fans on a 35mm thick 240 rad and a 60mm thick 120mm rad.

Depends a lot on how well your card can over clock.

 

Expect a 15% increase +/- 10%
