There are mods for all the 8800's. They still bring decent points at HWB.

I can use that waterblock on it right and not worry too much about the VRMs and mem or should I try to keep those cool too somehow

Fans blowing on those. Anytime you use anything but full block cooling you need to actively cool the power and ram.

I have got a Gainward 8800GTS 320mb in the post at the moment so I will post up vmods when it arrives. It completes the trio for me 8800GTS 320, 512, 640. The 320 and 640 are G80 chips the 512 is a G92 and was released after the 8800GTX. I put heatsinks on the mosfets dont usually worry about the memory put your finger on the memory chip towards the end of a benchmark you will know if it needs a heatsink on it.

Most can be modded with general voltmods.

cool I am gonna try to get that 8800 GTS or one like it for $20 this week I would like to start messing with video cards too there is some good points in VGAs and I am pretty decent at getting points outta stuff lol and I would like to see what one does when I get it under some cold water one day down the rd I am gonna ice up my kingpin and let that thing loose lmao right now I believe if I could keep the temps under 60c I could push the hell outta it but with the stock air cooling that aint gonna happen as kingpin told me himself maxwell doesnt scale well with voltage at ambient temps and I notice once the card hits 60c that is when it starts to artifact at higher voltages so I leave it around 1.25v core 1.6v mem and it parties all day like that lol I wanted to get a 780 ti classified or something but they still cost quite a bit those dont need volt mods lol I guess you could say they make the classified for people like me that cant solder very well lol

Most Nvidea cards scale well with cold. A lot of Radeons scale well with voltage. I used to have a Powercolor HD5850 that I used to run 1.8v through it all the time on water and it was good for 1100+ core. One day I needed a couple of marks more for first place with PCM05 it didnt like 1.9v it died in a bad way.

yea that is what Vince said the kingpin would scale really well if I put it under cold I would prob get 1800-1900mhz outta it which is crazy considering I can only get 1518mhz outta it without giving it a lot of voltage and the fan on max and most the time it wont pass the bench but I bet if I got the temps down it would really let loose

Most can be modded with general voltmods. what are your thoughts on the GTX 260 I found some that are bulk brand new they are EVGA the 896MB they dont have box or plugs but I dont need none of that just want the video card and they are only $25
