so I have a pair of 780's in SLI right now and I'm trying to decide if its worth doing a water loop so I can overclock them. right now they will hit around 85c with stock speeds, so I cannot do an overclock on them. I did manage 150MHZ OC with an air conditioner blowing into the case, although its obviously not practical to use that method.
basically my question is whether or not it worth spending the money on a water setup just for maybe 200MHZ? The 780's are great, but against the newest games they just are not quite strong enough for running maxed out. I think a decent OC would help them out a lot, but I just don't know if it would be worth it.
whats your opinion?
system specs:
MSI X99s gaming 9 motherboard
Haswell-e 5930k CPU (overclocked to 4.5ghz with 240mm water cool)
16 GB G.SKILL DDR4
2x EVGA 780 SC
