Yea I stare at my PCB when playing Crysis too.
I agree.I dunno man. There doesn't seem to be much point in putting 670/680s under water because of the hard locked voltage. Unless you really want a quiet system.

On air? Seems like the ASUS DC2 top's are doing mid 1200s.
EVGA classified will be *the* card to get for water cooling. You can modify voltage with the EV bot tool. Unfortunately, it definitely will be expensive.
I'm ok with unlocking voltage and invalidating my warranty on the DC II, that's what I got it for anyway lol
Oh man, I completely forgot that you could do that on the asus cards as well. Kinda makes me regret not getting the asus 680s instead of the EVGA's that I have.....but then again, i'm using SLI so I can't use triple slot cards. Well, I COULD , but my temps wouuld be utter shite (i've tried triple slot cards in the past, they are BAD NEWS for sli...)
Whats involved in unlocking the voltage on the DC2's?

Seems easy, except you need a $400 motherboard to do it. I'd assume it's the same process with the dual slotted 670 DC2T. I'm sure there's a cheaper way to volt mod it without needing the ROG board, but we need to get the card into more peoples hands before we see it happen.
Thats why i love Asus. Shamino comes up with crazy $hit like that for consumers.
Why save $100 on a GTX 670 only to waste it on a full-cover waterblock?
For 1300 boost clock and its not a waste
Water does nothing for voltage locked 600 cards.
