Hi,
I'm hoping to be building a new PC soon and while to start with I'll probably go for a single 780 the longer term plan will be to get 2 of them in SLI.
I will probably aim to do some moderate overclocking on them but especially once SLI'd, stability and quietness will be my most important requirements.

Now I can see there is a wide range of cards with very different coolers so are there any in particular I should be looking at or avoiding?

Many Thanks,

Ross

which ever you think looks the best.... personally id go with a manufacture with 3 year warranty.... as for oc....you wont need to when you sli.... and tbh you wont really need to oc with one 780...
 
Guys worth noting that the card you linked to is not a reference card. It is in fact a AIB 780 that will dump heat in the case. Read the reviews, apparently its this card.

I warned many people about this already. I have even let OCUK know, but they wont take down pic? Also your link is the 780Ti model;:)

I like the reference cooler(Titan Cooler) It's the best looking reference card ever produced.

You're not wrong.

Currently running a pair of Titans and forgot how nice the reference cooler actually is. Does a good job in keeping the cards cool as well. Kinda reminds me of the 690's I used to run a good while ago.
 
Thanks guys, I had heard the ref cooler was meant to be pretty decent on those. Handy to know I can go for the 'cheap' reference cards rather than the pricier versions.
