I am building a water cooling setup (the main goal being silence, overclocking is secondary but I still want to OC as much as possible without sacrificing silence/higher rad fan speeds).
I am leaning towards a universal GPU waterblock since I will probably be replacing the 4870s in the next year or so, but am concerned about leaving the RAM and VRM on passive heatsinks w/o a fan blowing on em.
Will I need to put a fan over the heatsinks (mainly worried about the VRM temp if i OC it) or does it not get that hot that the passive heatsink will be fine by itself?
Thanks
