So I have seen a few gtx 470 full blocks for sub-50 USD for sale (used). I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of how well my loop would be able to handle this

Currently, I have a i7-950 @ 4.2 ghz on a raystorm block. It maxes 71 ºC under full load.

My system has a MCP655 pump and a 240 mm radiator with Ultra Kaze 38 mm fans (lowest setting).

[Approxmiately] how much of an increase in temperatures would I expect if I added my 470 to the mix with an overclock of over 800 mhz?

Thanks.

Note: adding more radiators or fans to my system is not viable.

If your 470 was at max load and your i7 was as well, I would estimate around 8C increase on the CPU.

That doesn't seem too bad. Can anyone else offer their opinion?
