Ok,
So here I am with this card that I dished out quite a bit of mula for. I am going to watercool her, but I have some reservations as to how much risk I am willing to take - especially after reading a few horror stories about the X800 mods on this forum.
Should I run her stock for a while to see how she does before I void the warranty (the W/B would just be sitting beside her because I am only setting up my water once... after a week or two I would install the block on)?
Should I play with voltage (pencil mod) at all, even if very carefully?
How much risk am I taking by overclocking her up to artifacts? Is there more than a 5% chance or so that this will fry her in itself over a year or so? (I didn't think so...)
So much potential, but it seems risky considering the value of this product.
Thanks
