hey guys, any1 know if the 191.07 driver still kill NF200 chips? im abit worried to put it on my cards cos i have a 762 mobo and i dont want to kill it

Never killed mine...I used 191.07 all the time.  Although the new 257 and later drivers should work better for you.

Just use eraser front and back, install water block, and use lots of shop towels stuffed in and around the pci-e slots and covering the outside of the cards.

 

Will it be okay with regular H20 like that?

Yep, no prob.  I Pm'd you some other pics that you would not want to run at ambient temps long term.  But I run my 480's like above at mid 60'sF for general non-hardcore use...if you don't overvolt too much and just have a mild OC, the gpu heat off the 295's should be quite manageable.

hey can any1 tell me why my aqua mark CPU score is crap? i get like 6k with my 980x at 4.3

has any1 used tinyXP to bench 06 on? i have installed it but i cant seem to get 06 to work. it gets to the slash screen and then hangs :(
 

Got the first "chilly" morning by southern latitude standards.  Benching season is DEFIANTLY on its way.
 
Halo, I use liquid rubber.  Almost waterproofs the card.  Same thing Q did with the eraser, but poured on liquid rubber in all the fine crevices.
