I haven't made a decision as to whether I want to get another GTX 780, but I just wanted to ask this question as it's been on my mind. If I were to get another GTX 780 (Asus DirectCU ii version), would I need to get water cooling or not?
Of course water cooling is expensive, and I'd rather not have to pay extra alongside the already expensive GPU itself. Currently my GPU will hit a max of about 80c only when playing very demanding games. I'm not sure whether SLI configurations have ways of controlling their loads/temperatures automatically? For example, if a game doesn't require huge GPU consumption, will the 2nd GPU lower its load to keep temperatures down?
Thanks
Edit: There's also not an awful lot of room left in my mid tower case, so having water cooling installed would also be a bit of a pain to install.
