Which 780 for water cooling..?

[no_1_dave]

I plan to get a 780 over the weekend.
I don't like spending more then I have to, I see they start at £389.

Which is best to get considering it'll have a water block on it from the word go?
A lot of the price increases I am guessing are due to better coolers but that doesn't matter to me. However I see the Asus has a better power design for better overclocking(?) but has a lower clock then the Inno3D.

I don't plan to spend over £429 if I can help it, is there one that is better then any others & if you were in my position which one would you go for and why? I do plan to overclock it, but not within inches of it's life.

2 Questions also:
My water block is a standard VGA block, it fits "most cards". Does it fit the 780?
It's a VGA block only, on my 670s the ram doesn't need cooling. Does the 780 ram need cooling?

Evga warranty allows for removal of the stock cooler, MSI do also but only if bought from ocuk(if bought from elsewhere its not covered.
Other than that sorry I'm no help

Yea thinking of MSI or EVGA.
Do these offer the best OC potential though because I've heard good things about the Asus?

Hi,

the Classified do have a own PCB design, is much bigger then normal cards and do have a superior power management 14phases. In the EVGA Forums you can also find Volt mod tools for the card, most user report clocks arround 1400MHz with those tools.
