Looking to get more out of my SSC edition 280 from EVGA.

Currently at 702/1512/2520 on stock cooler. Temps don't go higher than 85.C on stock which is great for this OC.

I know the HR-03 GTX is out but looks rather large with a fan on top and i've heard bad things about the Accelero XTREME GTX 280. I have owned a HR-03 GT for my old GTS 250 and was great.

Would it be worth getting aftermarket as the current OC on the stock heatsink is the max OC i can get. I know with cooler temps i could get higher.

an aftermarket cooler will just decrease your load temps ...
it depends on what you want ... extra money for whatever, or lower temps on the 280
all tho lower temps would increase the life of that 280 but how long can you keep it anyway ... your call
