    Posted: 15 Sep 2009 at 3:10pm
I have a Benchmark crusher with a DS water cooled CPU but the 295 is fan cooled. Unless I run the fans at 80% while playing games it gets above 80 degrees and the games act up. SO I would like to water cool the 295.  Any ideas?  Do I need to increase the reservoir size from a single slot to a double. Any help would be great.

just set the fan to auto, or to 100%, if that does not work then call DS, it might be the card, to LC you can just keep the same reservoir, but that will jack up the temps on your cpu temps.

In Auto the fan speed does not increase until well above 85 degrees. So I have to set it myself to a higher speed. 
So a bigger reservoir would help keep the overall temp down if I add a GPU water block?
Anyone use a block on a 295?

the reservior is not what keeps things cooler, the rad and its fan is what is helping with the temps, you would need a bigger rad and fans that would go with it.
