GTXJackBauerSimonOceandominic2189There's no need for it, no. But if you enjoy your computer not acting as a giant heat furnace, it disperses a lot less heat out those radiators than a fan blower. It's preference at that point w/o OCing.I am sorry to contradict you, but that is simply NOT true: Water-cooling makes almost no difference to the degree to which your room heats up. The reason for this is that the electrons that are made (by voltage) to move around (current) your GPU and CPU make pretty lights on your monitor by in doing so all that voltage and current = power is converted into heat. The same amount of heat gets generated from the GPU and CPU+1 Well said.

Air coolers heat up my room much much faster than having 2 watercooled components.
Mithrandir8Yeah, watercooling does nothing to practically impact the amount of heat being generated by the components and thus dispersed into the room. The only difference is that the exhaust profile might be different if you don't have anything blowing out the back of the card.
Cableguy696969Ive been doing HC cards from GTX 480 Hydro Coppers all the way up until 2080Ti came which I went with the Hybrid 2080ti because I got tired of redoing my loop every time I change GPU. The hybrid works pretty well but I think Im ready get back into Hydro Copper again

Dsullivan539Seeing as HC is sort of a niche product. Why can't EVGA put up Hydro Copper pre-orders?Easy way to take $1000 from me. No reason that pre-orders can't be done now, but a niche product would be even safer.

The hybrid works pretty well but I think Im ready get back into Hydro Copper again I remember my GTX 480s on AIR! It was a jumbo jet/sauna affect in my room. It's one of those things you can never forget and the reason the idea of custom cooling got started.
Razrback16Anybody seen any official dates yet for the HC to release?Really hoping the HC model has some increased power limits.
buttabeanAlso it's the same principles behind global warming. vacuum outside our atmosphere, sun rays beaming in and not escaping. atmospheric temps slowly increase as the earths oceans heat up aka radiator.
