Should I be worried about the GTX980 4GB Superclocked overheating?
I've heard that the GTX980 4GB Superclocked can get very hot so should I get a waterblock or is that just for overclocking?
Sorry if this question has been asked before.
Thanks in advanced.

With a Maxwell card of any type, your power usage/heat levels will be significantly reduced versus other generations. They are designed to run at 80c-82c with their factory preset Temp Limit. Even with overclocking, the design of the card is such that it will remain comfortably within its safe thermal zone. Water cooling is far from necessary on such a card.

And if I don't waterblock, Just having very good ventilation should do the trick correct?
I always worry about issues when it comes to high temperatures.
