Looking whether to water cool or stay with air for my 980ti

CatalystGamez · Feb 9, 2016

Hello everyone!

I have the 980ti AMP! Extreme by Zotac.
It's cooling is fine with a tri-fan set up, however, the cooler, the better!
My case is the NZXT Phantom.
And price limit... Maybe £150? I'm not sure how much they cost.

Thanks!!!

Oh, and lastly, I am looking for a water cooler for my CPU, so if a full water cooling kit is the best way to go, then just let me know. Here's the link to my other thread

Thanks, but it says it's not compatible with the 980ti series (However, the ti is just a remake

So You probably are right)

if you have a case with good airflow and your not overclocking your card, don't bother watercooling. You saved money going with Zotac over something like evga with hybrid cooling, why waste that money now if the stock is working fine?

my suggestion would be swiftech h220-x or h240-x

quality aio not like some of them and can be expanded to the gpu

around £150 for the swiftech and probably around the £80 for a full cover gpu block

Good point.
However, with the Zotac, the only reason I chose it, was because it had a higher factory base clock and a higher overclock than all the other [current] 980ti's

CatalystGamez :

Understood, but again why water-cool it when there is no real need to? Save the cash unless you plan on keeping the card awhile.

Well even if it's only slightly better, a few decree's still matter, especially when I want to push it to it's limits, plus, with water cooling, I can stick the rads on the top of my case and not have to worry about airflow, because at the moment the airflow isn't all that great.

So if you have a suggestion, I'd be greatful.
