Watercooled cards oc better?

My 1080 msi watercooled hybrud is on the way... i also got a g1 coming. Going to sell one

But question is do watercooled oc better or they just stay cooler? I don't care if one's 40c at 2.1 vs 70c at 2.1

If the water cooling has enough heat dissipation then they can cool the gpu better, this allows the gpu to have a better chance for overclock headroom based on the temps. Out of the box the Gigabyte G1 is clocked higher than MSI hybrid. The G1 series are sorted for better quality so you have a guarantee of higher quality allowing better overclocking potential.

For example my G1 GTX 970 goes to 1.418ghz without having to touch it.

Yes, you can look at Gigabyte 980Ti Waterforce reviews and see he's got

A) lower temps than air cooled GPUs idle and load.

B) lower acoustics

C) higher benchnmarks scores due to better OC

Here's some pics as a proof:

I see, 04dcarraher you are confusing tho, saying good things about water cooled GPUs then saying G1 is better quality therefore OCs better LOL

So if you guys were in my shoes, which one would you keep ?

@Hydrolex: Let me explain abit better then lol

The MSI hybrid isnt sorted for best quality, so your silicon lottery is random for overclocking ability, even with watering cooling your overhead is luck of the draw. The WC gives you a better chance per say when it comes to temps.

While the G1 is sorted and is higher quality which gives narrows your silicon lottery allowing you have a much better chance in Overclocking

@04dcarraher: Ok thanks... what about Gigabyte Xtreme ? I heard that's even better quality than G1

@Hydrolex:

O yeah they used the best material, and it has even a better cooling solution than G1's Windforce X3

@PredatorRules: That is a incredibly trivial difference between air cooled and water cooled cards.. We are talking about in that benchmark getting 30 to 50mhz more, which is basically a unnoticeable difference.. That being said water cooled cards are great for another reason.. They are not only low temp load cards, but they are blowers as well.. Basically every aftermarket cooler I have seen on video cards are not blower style cards, so they dump the heat back into your system and rely on your system's cooling to flush it out.
