A card with that much power only has an exhaust fan? My 7950 has an intake fan that shoves the hot air out the second bracket it uses. My uncle had a terrible experience where he had a SLI setup and...

What I meant was that one side goes out the case and the other goes into the case. The fan in the middle blows air to both ends of the card. That's one reason that I was thinking of watercooling...

On a 1080p monitor, I think I get like 100+ fps but I can't remember. I do know that I get a constant 60 but because of vsync being on most of the time, I rarely see it go over that unless I disable...

Actually, I use a Kill-o-Watt meter to monitor my PC's use. When I am gaming, my PC only uses about 360 Watts. Idle it uses around 180 to 200. Note that my CPU is overclocked to 4.6 GHz and the...

Nice build, personally I wouldn't have the lights, but I like it otherwise.
My only question would be why is the reservoir not the highpoint of the system?

My point was the use of water cooling on that setup was ill-conceived. your card is meh.. good for the price, but both the 670 and 7970 are much better deals. You're kind of stupid for not getting...

uh what, that's not worth it. By that time there will be a better graphics card you can get for 250, since prices drop so fast. My 330 dollar will probably be 200 next year, just watch :lmao:
