It's a mistake that I was once very close on doing, so now it's one of the things I always look.

It's a fixation .

You have any advice on water blocks vs air cooling for something like Titan grahics cards? Air seems to be fine, but if I'm killing the cards slowly, perhaps I should take another look!

I don't know much about watercooling (it's on my "to do" list), but I really doubt you'll run into problems for two simple reasons:

1-Temperature is not the main problem, but high voltage. Therefore, and given that you can't push your cards as much on air because of the temperatures, they are safer that way.

2-You are always looking for more power, you are a serial upgrader. It doesn't matter how far you push your GPUs because you'll replace them before you can run into problems.



Please excuse my bad English.
