How much higher can you guys overclock the cards with the 3rd party GPU coolers, as compared to the reference cooling?

And it's massive! Absolutely no SLI setups will be allowed with it installed. To me that's a huge deal breaker. I'd rather go for cards with manufacturer improved cooling, like MSi's SuperPipe technology. Better cooling (though not as good as the 3rd party add-on), with SLI capabilities.

I was using big huge Thermalright HR03 on my 8800GTX SLI no probs mar. Can even choose to put the radiator on top or under the cards. I was so sad to remove them for 3 way SLI. cry.gif Superb coolers they were.

Are the huge 3rd party GPU coolers necessary though? I mean for moderate overclocking and gaming.

I'm hoping Sapphire's Vapor-X cooling will be enough for my 3 card setup  tongue.gif

My cards went all the way to 105c so I'd say yes the coolers were necessary in my case.
