Classys are good for it all. EVGA just take the reference card and all the design entails, then beef it up for those of us that like to go the extra honk.
Nicks Ti will do 1.3v all day long at those clocks and more. A reference card, volt locked or not, would not. Well, I can do those clocks all day long on my reference card but that's not the point

Agreed!
1350/1900+ @ 1.212v for benching here on Air, albeit mine being the 780 version and not the Ti.

Why you say that? on air under load it never went above 45c to 50c even on BF4.

On air the classy and kingpin weren't all that. ichill still beats them and I think the ichill is ugly as sin, but the cooler is amazing. Not everyone goes under water either.

I only had the gpu for 2 days and was shocked myself. Took it back because mine looked used and the thing was too HUGE for it's own good.!

Who needs water hey, with temps like that
Indeed
@OP FWIW my views on the brands i have owned
MSI (lightning 780&7970) let down by poor memory choice (780/elpida) and limiting bios (7970) won't be buying another
Gigabyte windforce (7970) pretty good card but imo felt cheap, so not for me.
Asus rog matrix (7970) another fantastic piece of kit but let down by software, gpu tweak. Would i buy again?? 50/50 on that one and there rma process is not great, apparently
EVGA owned 2 x 780 classy and 1 x 780Ti, all great cards and will take something very special to sway me away from this brand, for me the quality of the build the customer support and the better chance of getting a good chip with the classy is all win win for me.
Obviously some of the cards mentioned are older cards and some have improved but the company's behind them are pretty much the same.
Best single 780ti - EVGA Classified
Best for SLI - Any reference 780ti
OP if you start looking at cards like the Kingpin 780ti for gaming, it is a total waste of money as for not much more you could get a couple of GTX 780s which will totally anihilate any single 780ti.

If you have a windowed case and like your system to look boss, reference 780/780TIs are an excellent choice 
Sure, the cooling is not as good as non-ref (I have 2 reference 780s in a 900D and they reach 80C under heavy load when benchmarking/gaming) but it's still great and the noise is pleasant and not whiney like other coolers I've heard on various cards. Plus, as I mentioned, reference 780s/780TIs/Titans look very nice in a windowed case
