Probably pretty much the same as it can do on air since it's NV's neutering of the TDP/Voltage which force it to stay within the strict limitations. They wouldn't want you to overclock it as much as it can and catch up to the next real high end maxwell card. I assume you know this though?
Sure.
There are other advantages to WC these cards. First, I can probably squeeze another 100mhz out of it on water (maybe more) and keep it pretty much silent. I can almost hit 1550mhz on air with max fan for benching, but that's WAY too loud for normal use. The cooler you keep it, the lower the TDP as well. Power consumption does climb with temp, so that might give me another 1-2% TDP headroom vs. air cooling...
Second, it just looks fun. Never WC'd my GPUs before, so I thought I would try it out. Got the block for pretty cheap too from eBay, that didn't hurt.
