Hello all,

I'm going WC very soon and will be getting a GTX 470 to replace my 460 Non-Reference card.

As the 470 prices are silly atm, What card do you recommend i should buy to do watercooling with? As it needs to be a reference card.

Also do you think my OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w will be upto the job? Or will i need to replace this also :(

System Specs:

Intel Core i5 760 2.80GHz @ 4.00GHz
Asus P7P55D-E
Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
1x DVD-RW Drive
Swiftech MCP350 10W 12V DC Pump or Swiftech Laing D5 Vario MCP655 12V DC Pump(Still not decided which yet)
2x 500GB Sata HDD's
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Card

Thanks for your time
 
My MSI GTX 470 H2o cooled EK FC Actel + Nickel Block > 0C'd to 850/1700/2000 1025mv depending on the rest of your set up never goes over 51'c playing BC2 :cool: room temp was 23.5'c, The Boss had the central Heating ON...

As for your power supply 600w it should be ok...

Don't forget to read up on it theres plenty of info on the net, + read this sticky - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17803239 and read the reviews about your components.

There is plenty of advice to be had from the more knowledgdeable guys on H2o cooling. :)

Thanks for that mate, Do you think the MSI is worth getting then over this? (If it's a reference card, I'll have to give OCUK a note as not sure what cards they are shipping out atm)

Also excellent about my PSU then, Thanks a lot
 
l considered getting 1, but read the review on the MSI GTX 470, it has military class components for better overclocking, so l paid the extra..

Its on a special at the mow £180 what a steal.
