I have an ASUS STRIX 1080 factory OC card... it is the 11gpbs memory card...

Not that this card has thermal trouble... but I am thinking of water cooling it.
I know overclocked cards pull more voltage and need more cooling... and on a non overclocked card I would have no reason not to think a simple 120mm radiator would keep it cool... I would prefer to double that with an overclocked card.

What my question is, this "factory" overclocked card... is a 120 rad going to keep it cool? Or do I need a 140, or even a 240 for it? Anyone have any experience with factory overclocked strix cards and water blocks? Thanks!

I guess no one has any ideas or has tried this...
Not sure if I should care what jayz2cents says, but his general rule of thumb is you want a 240 for each over clocked part...
What is throwing me off is this card is "factory overclocked" So I have no idea if that means if its even running hotter than a non factory OC card...

Well... i'm not planning on overclocking the video card since its factory overclocked... what I kinda wanted to know originally was if the "factory" over clocked card in terms of thermals counts as an overclocked unit, or a stock speed unit, when we are talking about radiator real estate. KNow what I mean?

As in, do I need to accommodate different because the card is factory OC, or is the heat output the same as the non factory OC version?
