WaterCooling / Non-WaterCooling

[Crucify]

Just wondered if there are any performance differences between a 2 watercooled 680s and 2 non-watercooled 680s?

While the volts are fixed on cards, there will be no real difference, except noise. Hall of fame edition 680 apparently has a switch to enable higher volts, so under water, this will allow for higher clocks.

Ahh I see and you can still double up (SLI) with liquid cooled graphics cards right?

If both running at stock, no, no performance differences.

The advantages of watercooling other than quieter running and generally lower temps is higher overclocks (obviously depending on setup) you typically have higher overheads in the temps.

I see, watercooled cards are still SLI capable though right?
