Just watercooled my MSI N470GTX. Useless on air, 89c steady temp stock with peaks up to 94c til the fan catches up. Made the room smell like a hairdryer.

Hasn't done as much for my core overclock as i'd hoped, but I think I just got a crap gpu core (1050mv vid). Previous best in furmark was 766/1533/1900 @ 1037mv, gaming best was 800/1600/1674 @ 1087mv but I couldnt go near furmark due to temps.

Now I can do 850/1700/2050 @ 1137mv with furmark load in the low to mid 40s. Memory clock gain was 150mhz+, but you can't beat a dead horse and my gpu just won't keep up. 866/1733 takes 1175mv and 875mhz Blue/grey/black screens in Vantage @ any voltage up to 1212mv.


Still, happy with card, performance at 850/2050 is excellent and its now quiet and cool too. First foray into the bling factor and I keep catching myself oggling at that backplate while im sitting here .
