between a GPU block w/ramsinks vs a full coverage block?
I imagine the GPU block solution gets more MHz from the GPU, less from the ram, while a full coverage block is the opposite.....is that right?
if so, which option gives the best overall performance increase? I'm going watercooled next month and I'm not sure how to cool my Radeon 3850. I'm not really intending to go crossfire, but I'm not ruling it out at this stage either, so space is a minor concern.
I'm liking the swiftech mcw60r, but I've also got my eye on the EK HD3850... it's more costly, but who could resist having bright blue coolant visibly whizzing around their card?!
cost isnt the option here, simply, which block gives the best overall performance increase, I'm looking to volt mod and clock the hell out of my card, so only the best will do!
