For anyone intrested, I recently overclocked my gtx295 by an across-the-board factor of 22% (4% higher than BFG's fastest liquid overclock model) with perfect stability. I cant say what the temps are exactly but I can assure you they are exelent (WB is cold to touch, my second radiator leak ironiclly shorted out nothing other than the gpu temp monitors)

what radiator is that ?

[Zero4549]

Which one? The External is a BI GTX 360 and the internal is a Magicool Elegant 240

The Magicool ultimatly cracked along its polycarb chamber however, as did it's replacement. I then replaced it with a BIX 240 and have had no further issues.

good except i dont like the way the tubing bends round at the back. Should have mounted the rad the other way round

[Zero4549]

Thanks. As for the rear radiator, It came down to a choice of using 4 90 degree bends or mounting it in the direction that I did. I figured the extra tubing was the more practical choice, if not the most visually pleasing.
