Asus GTX 780 Directcu ii

[gmaister22]

Hey guys,

i just upgraded from my GTX 670 to a Asus GTX 780 Directcu ii and i'm debating the fact of adding a watercooling loop to my system, well i have one, just thinking of adding a block for the GPU...

what you think?

the asus directcu ii has such an effective gpu cooler i don't think you'll see more then 5C difference in temps.

The DirectCU 2 cooler CAN make a bit of noise. It'll definitly get quieter. I don't think its worth the exspensive waterblock though.

sidenote: the asus direct cu II is a NONSTANDARD gpu design. meaning its not a reference design card, which means a normal waterblock for a 780 won't fit. you need a waterblock specifically designed for the non-reference design of the direct cu ii pcb.

as i said... the direct cu II is a NON-reference design board.
