I recommend liquid cooling for highend gpus devices:

Advantages are obvious, besides low noise. Esspecially live time is an issue.
I heard a lot of times peoples high end gpus (esspecially the ati 4000, 5000 series) died,
because of overheating after fan failure.
I am wondering why vendors still ship high end gpu devices with air fans knowing the gpus produce enormous heat.
There are very less OEM licuid cooling configurations on the market, in general.
Mosty, they are 30-45% more than regular price. Producing a lot of liquid cooled gpu devices would lower producing costs, so the price, too.
Maybe there is an option for Xeon Phi to go liquid cooling, but it is patch work - which actually sucks.
I am wondering whether it is really necessary to use high end gpu devices in high end PCIe slots (i.e. AMD 7990 in PCIe v3 16x) when using the device for GPGPU purposes. I mean gpus memory acts as buffer. The higher the performance of the gpu the less the traffic on the buff, because of the buffer, right? Respecting some lower bounds on need for transfering volume of data.
