Benchmarks
Stock Fan | Stock Water Block |
To start off the test, I used the stock speeds and just swapped the fan for the water block. Idle temperatures for both tests averaged 25° C. The stock fan and heatsink for the MSI GTX 970 reached a maximum temperature of 53° C where as the Bitspower water block reached 36° C.
Overclocked Fan | Overclocked Water Block |
Overclocking with the MSI GTX 970 and the Bitspower waterblock yeilded a 10 MHz overclock above the MSI heatsink and fan. I could not get the card to run stable at 1528 MHz on the fan. The Bitspower waterblock came in with a maximum temperature of 39° C.
