I am about to buy either sli asus 980 strix or sli evga sc2.0 and plan to watercoool them.As i read asus strix has a voltage limit and can be cracked with a voltage tool and better pcb .On the other hand evga comes without voltage limit and custom bios .I know its a silicon lottery but which one will be good for benching underwater?

Pretty good call to be honest, yes if you want absolute maximum OC potential the Gigabyte G1 or Galaxy HOF card will beat it, but for out of the box performance, overall quietness the Galaxy 980 SOC is a real hard one to beat, stunning card.
yes but neither hof or g1 are in stock in my country only msi 4g ,evga sc 2.0acx or asus 980 strix
and also Gibbo what do you say about voltage limit on the asus strix .I know there is a voltage tool for asus strix but will it help me to get better results underwater?

I know its a silicon lottery but as you know asus has max 1.21v where others can reach 1.275v+.Is that 1.21v enough to reach 1600+ clocks ?I saw you said maxwell dont like more volts but lets say 1.3v is safe for watercooling?Voltage limit, your on water, so you don't need to worry. Volts only needed on these cards for the pro's with LN2.
