**EDIT: I'm a scrub. From what I can find...Idle temps with one of those coolers is around 35-37 degrees...Load temps are 50-60 ish. They STILL absolutely smash most coolers on the market***

Apologies if I mislead anyone. The 37 degree figure must have stuck in my mind. They still look like a solid solution to me :P

Those Thermalright's are serious coolers for sure but honestly man on full load the GPU will get around 50~ and that is still hot, you know that but better than 70~ for sure. Wouldn't be to hyped with nickel as it's still not the lightest metal (titanium, platinum & aluminum) but much better than copper for sure. Best solution, liquid cool these beats but it's costly.

Or just immerse your entire computer in mineral oil....
