OCUK value GTX470

Doubtful, been removed from the 470's page. Why you after the OCUK model, the gigabyte is not much more expensive. Just noticed the EVGA at a cracking price, that would be my choice.

^ I thought that then I see the EVGA for a quid more, great brand with good resale value and a ten year warranty.

Using the Ek actel + nickel full cover block. Same cpu block as yourself

Well I say its now watercooled, I mean I leak tested yesterday and will be putting it all back together when I get home tonight.

Before I was running the GFX at 700/1500/1800(close to this any way) and with the fan on the same % as temp, the temps sat at 34c idle and got to a max of 74c during an hour of furmark.

I should get the same temps with the clocks up a bit more and an increase in voltage. Hoping for 800/1600/2000.

Should be fun tonight

EDIT: All installed set the GFX to 1050mv and 800/1600/1700(read that increaseing the mem doesnt do a lot).

Wow running furmark for an hour at 1920/1200 and 8xAA and the temps are at 43c - 10c hotter than it used to be idle. I havent seen much differance in the cpu temp as i was running the h50 but its still about 5-10c less at full load.
So overall im very happy with watercooling even though its expensive its worth it.
