Gpu overclocking

[shlokgtn7100]

Hey,I have been planning my build for a long time,researching everything, perks of liquid cooling I have concluded that liquid cooling your GPU gives no benefit almost null overclocking and yeah I have
Proof to back up my conclusion
1st-
These pics are from hard ocp.com

What better card to compare than the King of the hill GTX 980Ti
They have the best air cooler and hybrid cooling respectively from the same OEM
No extra FPS.

2. This video from Joker productions-

See for yourself

3. From JayzTwoCentz-
https://youtu.be/-Z0mE9avtnY
He uses a 240 RAD with a CPU and GPU
Removes the stock GPU air cooler and gets the same results as with GPU with its original air cooler no more over clocking even with custom water loop.

In all the three above scenarios liquid cooling good get insanely lower temps granted ,agreed!!!
But what did you get from
1. paying for a GPU block
2. Voiding warranty
3. Risk of installing a GPU block

Only one thing!!!
AESTHETICS

Why do only some OEMS produce liquid cooled graphics card??
Why are there so many AIO coolers dedicated to CPU cooling and even Intel
has produced a dedicated AIO??

Because you can get performance out of liquid cooling thanks to overclocking a CPU!!
Liquid cooling is extremely effective granted but lower temps on a GPU don't give any extra performance
It is obviously for the aesthetics and bragging rights it is not at all practical!!
I hope to have a constructive discussion
Thanks

The second photo from 2. Is wrong using the AIO GPU cooler he achieved
Core-1550
Memory-7608
Sorry..

Firstly this needs to be moved to the correct section.

There was a point with 1st gen Kepler that clockspeeds would start to reduce when the chip reached 72c, but that was just artificial limitations as 2nd gen Kepler confirmed.

Was the watercooled model bios-modded and overvolted? Watercooling would help keep noise and temps down better than fans in that situation.

Some chips will be limited no matter how much cooling you apply, silicon lottery. And although Witcher 3 is a demanding game, you need to have more examples of GPU limited games to get a better idea.

Am I right in thinking that a custom loop will have more cooling power than a hybrid?

I have given example of a GTX 970 with hybrid cooling (joker productions video) and a custom loop (JayzTwoCentz) no change in fact Jay's clock speeds were a tad lower

Check this out this is the source of all the info

Most likely, most of the reviews I've seen of the Fury X or Hybrid TI's have them running at about ~52C. Mine peak at ~42C, of course I can't account for ambient temperature differences.

no need for this thread as there is an identical post by OP here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2468157 in the GPU forum.

Yeah I myself reposted it there
