I was going to get a reference card but with the Zotac being £500 and having a backplate too I thought why not.
I see they say they can void the warranty on it if you remove or change the cooler. I'd love to know how they will know if you've done it.
I can get a speeding ticket if I speed but only if someone/something notices.

Thanks for making this thread martos, I'm in the exact same boat (7970 cf too) and I've been struggling to decide which cards, I've been going back and forth between reference and factory overclocked cards with custom coolers.
Amigafan thanks for posting, you've made me look again at OCUK reference card, especially that it's down to £509.99. I might have to wait until the end of the this week only offer and decide somehow

All the ref cards are built by Nvidia so it's just the warranty and "can you replace the HSF without voiding the warranty" that needs considering.

To update this i got a reply from cs and cooler removal from ocuk refrence cards voids warranty.
Thanks for confirming, will just have to take the risk. Have replaced the block on plenty of cards without issue, so will just go for it
So are you going for the Zotac?
Doesn't make much sense seeing as they do it with their own cards for the Tech Labs series, oh well

I wont quote the exact reply but i was told removing it yourself voids the warrenty but when OCUK do it for there tech labs cards they take the hit over the warrenty from the manufacturer of its not accepted

OCUK must use the ones that allow for you do remove the cooler.
I came to the same conclusion as you. Enjoy your 980 ti and it overclocks like a champ.
Most (at a guess) people would be adding a second for SLI, Ref would better
