[HamidFULL]

I bought a thermaltake tide water liquid cooling and I want to buy a 7900GS for overlcoking only I want reach 3Dmark06 7000 point means I need Core @ 650MHz or higher I dont like voltmod because it void warranty
please recommend me best 7900GS overclocker

PS: I search around the web and I saw that XFX 7900GS 480M is very good overclocker and its default vgpu is 1.325v

The XFX would be your best option. It has higher volts by default. Still, it's not a lock to get 650, that takes a little luck.

Keep in mind, overclocking voids your warranty just as much as a voltmod.

BFG uses 7900 GTs with a different bios on some of their 7900GSs. You can unlock the pipes on most of the BFG cards.

why to buy 7900GS if you can buy evga 7950GT for $199.99 A/R at Frys (it was already twice on sale). and it comes with 512mb vs 256mb on GS.

If you can get GS for less then $150 then it make sense IMHO

in that case, pls state what cards are avail for you to buy and at what cost
otherwise you will not get much help - as in my case pointing you to Fry's you can't go in.
