Good GTX 670 OC'D watercooling temps?

Hello!

I recently completed my semi custom water cooling loop the other day and decided to overclock my PNY GTX 670. The settings are follows:

GPU clock: 1215 at load (+175 offset)
Mem clock: 3206 at load(+200 offset)
Voltage: 1.175 V

I get those while in game playing Far Cry 3. The maximum temperature I've seen is 43 C but usually hovers around 40-41. I just wanted to know if this is a good load temperature for having a full loop including my Intel 2500 at stock.

Thanks.

I checked the temperature out in the hall way and it's 77 F(25C). So it's about that or a bit warmer in my room.

I see about the same with my 680's. Watercooling can keep them very cool indeed, often below the idle temperatures of air

??

below idle temps of air on water?

how u breaking physics here?

No not cooler than the ambient, cooler than a GPU, when idle that is cooled with a a standard air cooler.

Idle air cooled cards regularly hit temperatures around 40-45C. That is about the same range as a watercooled GPU at load, especially one that isn't overclocked. This is the comparison I made.

dayam!

i was hoping u had a cold fusion device hidden somewhere..
