Watercooling my 7970 - Is it worth it?

[DanielMsi]

Hi There,

I want to overclock my 7970 past 1200Mhz and would love to hit 1300Mhz. Is there a possibility with a watercooled solution? Does anyone know how far a watercooled 7970 can go? Is there any after market coolers you guys would recommend. Watercooled or Air cooled, I just want my 7970 to hit high speeds.

I would love to crossfire, but not prepared to spend another 500 right now. So over clocking is my best option, if its around 200 or less on a cooler.

Why bother, if your willing to put down $200 now on a cooler to get a meager if not insignificant boost from the OC, then why not spend $500 (or less with a 7950 paired with it) and get a much more substantial boost with Crossfire?

the financial logic there I just don't get.

What exactly is the card not doing right now that it needs to be OC'd further?

I know there may be some here that would have an idea of Watercooling kits for the card, but some of us are registered over at OCN, where you would get a HUGE member base to give suggestions on water cooling for the cards.

you could post over there too, to get some additional suggestions on the Coolers.
