980 TI Hydro Copper vs Hybrid

[Blazingsattle]

Okay so here is the thing I have never set up a custom loop or even dealt with adding a new loop to an existing loop. I was wondering if i should risk it buy the hydro copper and go all the way trial and error probably setting it up or just get the Hybrid. What is the huge differences between the Hydro copper and Hybrid? Is it a huge FPS difference or just cooling ? Is the hybrid good enough to keep a steady good overclock compared to the Hydro Copper? Does the V-ram in the hybrid reach really high temps when overclocking the hybrid or will it be safe enough to overclock it without jeopardizing the life span of the GPU. So many questions i know :|. This is why I need help from the great community of tom'shardware! please help! 😀

The Hydro copper (obviously) will perform better since all custom loops have better cooling performance than AIOs.

However, the difference is minor. If you want to do HEAVY overclocking then a custom loop is best.

I guess I could just overclock somewhat. I am sure the hybrid will be able to hit a good overclock and be stable. Is there any company's that make full block closed loops 980 tis?

There are several companies that make DIY custom loop blocks for ALL NVidia cards.

Would you recommend a few ? :3

I meant like a closed loop like the hybrid though, but a full cooling block.

Sorry, the custom liquid cooling arena is not my area of expertise. Just wait for a few hours, there are tons of custom loop geeks on this forum that will defiantly recommend you some good ones.

EVGA is the only NVidia GPU maker that sells AIO liquid cooled Graphics cards.
