not necessarily, you can get away with volt mods on air but you just have to keep it cool. how ever i do want to put this card under chilled water, dice or ln2 at some point and see what i can do with it. Problem is that ln2 pots are exspensive af. unless a second hand one comes up cheap or im able to get copper cnc milled then i wont be going dice or ln2 any time soon
