    Performance in FC vga blocks isn't just about core temps, in my opinion. Mem and vrm's are important, especially when overvolting...

    If u want best core temps buy a MCW-80...

    I agree. For full cover blocks the total package wins it for me. I like cool vrms, memory, core and a fancy backplate if they can be made.

    I feel that everything has to be relatively cool in order to achieve the best overclocks and long term stability, and that's the benefit of full cover blocks.
