Is this card meant to be SO loud? Constant high-pitched noise from the fans much too loud to be acceptable, if this is how the card is its going straight back :/

The fans were loud in that 980Ti fan noise test video someone posted here a while back.
Loud enough for me not to consider getting one, that's for sure.

because of this really hot wether i was contemplating watercooling my cards but then again how often do we get hot days like these ? you gotto ask yourself.

I have gone from a Titan Z which was near silent to the 980TI, its a massive noise difference. My PC was near silent, now it sounds like a dodgy kitchen appliance. Thankfully I still have the Titan Z :/

Reinstalled the driver now the card fans have stopped presumably as the case temp isn't at a level where they kick in? To be fair my room is not exactly cold tonight

Yeah I picked a great day to finally reclock my 2500k back to 4.5. lol.

Now to try the gpu. ASIC Quality of 68.4.

I was gonna clock my CPU again today, wanted to run a few benchmarks with the Ti. But, its quite hot and my 4790k is a warm running chip even in winter. Decided to sit out in the garden and have a few beers instead.

Knew you was a wise man

Finally got my pic uploaded to imgur, been stress testing my cards on Folding@home and very happy with them.

Aka a very thirsty man today.

Hopefully a bit cooler tomorrow, warranty is up on this cpu soon so might scalp the lid off it. Can run 4.7ghz daily on 1.300v. Benched it at 4.8 on 1.3200 but not game stable, (and pretty hot). Want to see what I can hit with the Ti in various benchmarks to compare to my old sli setup. Which tbh weren't great clockers as a pair.

Looking at maybe getting these in sli and maybe a third down the line. Don't plan to overclock, well maybe what gibbo suggested a few post back, for 24/7 gaming clocks.
Questions:
Reference cards for more than one card?
EVGA 980ti super clock reference, yay or nay?
Two 980ti vs my titan black sli, big difference or not?

Definitely want to go reference, any custom card will blow heat into the lower card giving bad temps

Just ordered the MSI GeForce GTX 980Ti Gaming and a new SSD from ocuk

only 3 in stock forced my hand lol

I thought buy new graphics card then wait until Skylake comes out and I will be sorted. But now I want a new monitor and case with better cooling I can hear my bank balance crying out for mercy.

Folks, extremely daft question Im sure. Noticed many people here referring to Hybrid solution, what is this exactly?

or add your own.

Ah sweet! Do these cool significantly better than standard heatsink/cooler?
