would water cooling my 9800np be worth it? currently its running at 425mhz core w/stock cooling. how much higher do you think i would be able to get with say a swiftech MCW50 gpu block? also what are some good ramsinks? unfortinatly i have inferon chips... would ramsinks allow me to push up to 340-50mhz range?

( already posted this in video card section but no responce there :( )

yes, you can get higher speed on the core by going water .. even by going with arctic cooling vga silencer, some folks get a respectable ~15mhz higher overclock .. water has a better chance for getting higher OC.

on the other hand, the RAMsinks might not help much with OCing .. I'd say around ~5mhz more .. or if you have an active airflow around the card, say ~8mhz.
