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 <br />
Proof to back up my conclusion<br />
1st-<br />
These pics are from hard ocp.com<br />

<br />

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

3. From JayzTwoCentz-<br />

He uses a 240 RAD with a CPU and GPU<br />
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.<br />
<br />
In all the three above scenarios liquid cooling good get insanely lower temps granted ,agreed!!!<br />
But what did you get from<br />
1. paying for a GPU block <br />
2. Voiding warranty <br />
3. Risk of installing a GPU block <br />
<br />
Only one thing!!!<br />
AESTHETICS<br />
<br />
Why do only some OEMS produce liquid cooled graphics card??<br />
Why are there so many AIO coolers dedicated to CPU cooling and even Intel <br />
has produced a dedicated AIO?? <br />
<br />

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

You're kinda right. But, you're also wrong. With water cooling, you can increase the voltage of the core higher than air cooling. Of course, there are special modified BIOS that will allow higher core voltage than normal.

For example, I had a titan x that would hit the 84c limit and throttle. I replaced it with a FULL cover waterblock. That means it'll keep the VRM, VRAM, and Core cool. That's important for overvolting because with an air cooler, the VRM temperature is usually the limit, not the core temperature. With an air cooler, you'll be stuck with stock voltage. More voltage usually means higher overclocking.

Of course, this is for extremely overclockers. Those that want the extra 50-100mhz over stock voltage. Is it worth it? Well, I do it for fun. I want to push the limits of the GPU. The extra performance is the added bonus.
