I haven't been able to find much about this through forum search and google. I'm wondering whether the stock dualslot cooler is sufficient for good overclocking of the geforce gtx 280, or whether I'd benefit from an aftermarket cooler.
I've just purchased the BFG gtx 280 oc, and I'm hoping to overclock it as much as safely possible. My current card is an 8800 gt and I have an accelero s1 with 2 fans on it, which brought temps WAAAAY down from stock and helped with overclocking. I'm hoping the massive stock cooler on the 280 is sufficient. I dont need ice cold temps, and I have a Coolermaster HAF 932 case so lots of airflow.
Also, anyone know what sort of overclocks to expect? Thanks to all for reading.
