Bah, no, not worth it... There are 3 980ti KP for sale at overclockers.co.uk (£449), but I would need to use LN2 to make some boints, which I am not ready for yet, as I only have one decent rig that I can't fry ATM! :D

Edit: trying to make my mind, so starting a new thread!

Water won't really give you that much more headroom on the 980Ti IMO. Even on my chilled loop I can only get 30-40 MHz more
 
^Thanks Johan.

So, if I grab it, I'll keep on using my universal GPU block, as I don't feel like changing/flushing my loop (which does a more than decent job BTW).
 
The VRM on the KPE are pretty cool running as well so you should be good unless you're really pushing it
 
^perfect! Still have a couple of Sapphire Dual-X fan that I use to cool the VRMs and VRam. They should do the job then.

Really? Is that 30-40 Mhz over your max on AIR? I would have thought it would be more. Tír na nÓg, I use a universal EKWB on my 980 Kingpin and get some good results with it.
 
Still torturing myself... Anyway, I have to wait a couple of days before pressing "Buy now" button, lol!

Is it with a "regular" 980 ti, or with a Classy/Kingpin edition?

which universal EKWB block do you use and how do u keep the vram and memory cool ?

do you have any pictures ?

cheers
 
wolfman, the block I use is this one I use a 120 mm fan strapped to the card to keep the Vram cool. Please, keep in mind I only use the Gpu waterblock and 120mm fan for benching purposes only. When using the card for normal usage I have the stock fans hooked up and it works just fine for me.
 
I really don't have any need, it's rare I even use the card for anything other then benching.
 
What does the EK configurator say?

That said, I highly doubt as I believe that the two have different VRMs (980Ti having more).
 
What boost voltage does the KPE run at ?

should be able to find a BIOS that will give you a little bump

If i remember right there are 1.23 / 1.25 & 1.27 BOIS variants out there

I know that on my 980 KPE witchy they have a tool on the KPE website that will let you rip whatever voltage you want into the card. I've had mine a bit over recommended safe voltages at times. ;) :D

You ripping 1.5v cold .............. :rofl:

Killed a GTX780 KPE doing that one two many times

I run my vanilla 980ti at 1.27v full coverage water block :)
