MOST coolest and most overclockable 780ti that i can buy

Most overclockable depends on the chip, silicon lottery.
For coolest the Inno3D wins. The ASUS is great also.

I think its cool that you can get a Accelero cooler on a 780TI. Wish AMD AIB's would produce a similar card to the Inno3D one.

Yeah it's a top cooler. Pretty awesome that it costs no more than the other AIB 780 Ti's too.
Yep that would be nice, you could whack the volts up on it :D
 
Yep, the bios mod for higher power limit works but the afterburner mod for more volts doesn't work on the ti.

For moar volts you'll need a classy or to be good with a soldering iron.

noooooooo you just crashed my dreams lol. I thought they had unlocked voltage.

how does the 290x Lightening compare to the 780ti's??

in terms of cooling and OC and i know you have voltage control on that

[EDIT] is there a bios flash route?

MSI failed again with the lightning, it only has 1.35v available, bog standard ref 290x's have 1.4v. Until msi sort it out its a wasted purchase unless your a pro clocker with access to abx.
 
A simple software hack can solve that problem though and I can send links to the real LN2 bios from MSI if you have the 290x Lightning.

whats the headroom like at max 1.35v without unlocking

im going to decide tonight really dont know what side to go for OC review on youtube was singing praise for MSI Lightening 290x but 780ti are generally more stable gaming wise as single gfx solution.
 
If you got the moolah, go for the EVGA 780 Ti Classified. On water and at 1.35-1.4V, it leaves the MSI 290x Lightning far, far behind in pretty much everything. Now if you were going multiple cards, then things would have been interesting given the excellent scaling of the new Hawaii cards.
