Need advice on the 780ti

[Auda]

I am going to replace my old 670s card with a single 780ti.

Any particular brands that is recommended?

Since i am watercooling it are there any point in buying the oppgraded versions? (stock overclocked versions)

I am going to watercool it, does the waterblock for the 780 fit?

Doesn't EVGA still have that nice warranty which is still valid even if you swap the original cooler?

No, unfortunately you will have to wait for the correct water blocks. The PCB layout is different on the 780ti when compared to a GTX 780 or titan.

What!? Im pretty sure Tom said a 780/titan block will fit a TI no probs.

As for the OP, im guessing buying a factory OC'd one will enable you to OC it even more vs stock clocks then OC.

For the brand, i went with EVGA when i got my 780 as your warranty isnt void if you take off the cooler. Keep the original cooler though as if you need to RMA it, you'll need to put it back on.

Tom was wrong about the blocks, EK had an announcement about it.
