A:AnswerThis one has a faster GPU clock speed by +35mHz and a faster overclock speed by +25mHz. I don't know if that warrants a $400 price hike but you won't be able to really tell the difference unless you run a bench between the two.
A:AnswerAbsolutely, there are a couple companies who are making a waterblock for this specific pcb. Alphacool and Byski make one. No ekwb yet though. Unless you want to buy the Ekwb Merc 319 zero which is this card but with a ekwb waterblock already installed on it. Runs you about the same price I wish it was an option when I purchased this cuz I would have went that route instead
