Ouch! They all sound loud compared to the Inno. I wouldn't want any of them excepting the Air Boss.

Glad I ordered the ACX now. But that last one sounded great.

Yeah but how loud are these once they're in your case and you put on headphones or turn the speakers up? do you honestly notice it?

That video made me change from the Windforce to the Gaming now. I still maintain the 980Ti is a higher tdp GPU so the stock fan profile could be very different from the 980s in that video. Just feel the Twin Frozr should be slightly quieter and not too much hotter than the Windforce.

The video was showing 980 Tis, not 980s.

Yes you do notice it, that's why lower noise cards are highly valued by a lot of people.

The Inno did sound the quietest but it was also the only one to have an odd rattle.

Will be interesting to see how the MSI Gaming shapes up against these. My guess is it will be better.

Oh course you would. Not everyone sits isolated in a room with their ears pounding from how loud you'd need to put up headphone volume to counter that.

The G1 sounds horrific. I have the H440 which is a very nice and quiet case, and you can still hear the hum from my graphics cards. The G1 has a horrible whine to it that would easily be noticed.

Pity that Inno3D cooler has so much extra plastic, it's and amazing sounding cooler at max.
They need to look at that rattle though.

Well this is all very disappointing about the EVGA SC+ AC 2.0+. I ordered mine on 01/06/15 just after 4pm, was 5th in the queue so I thought I'd be within the margin for the phantom Friday delivery's set of dispatches. Bugger.

Has anyone managed to get the Ti working with windows 10? There`s no drivers out yet!

Yep, mine works perfectly.

I've only seen the Guru3D review of the G1. Any others out there? Seems a bit bad to put all your faith in a single review.

There is one, on polish website

Key point taken from that, which ties in with that sound link earlier:

Sorry - very high clocks were paid for with relatively loud cooling system, particularly the long-term burden, but at rest or during very strenuous work WINDFORCE behave decently.

Im assuming this is at 100% fan speed? for all the gfx cards

My assumption is the noise levels were taken at Gaming load. I could be wrong though. The video I posted earlier with the 10 GTX 980 models noise comparison has the G1 980Ti sounding very similar to the G1 980. In that video it was definitely gaming load as there was different fan speeds on the OSD depending on the card.

Oh if the noise is like that, it will be a deal breaker for me.

oldestgregg · 13 Jun 2015 at 19:01

I had 2 Gigabyte WF 780s and when you cranked up the fans on them both there was significant rattle at over 70%. That was on both cards but my two MSI gaming editions were very quiet even at high fan speeds. If I had to choose ,TI wise,I would go MSI everytime

africanos23 · 13 Jun 2015 at 19:18

I think something went wrong with the recording. The mic seems to be oversensitive or there's some kind of boost on the volume.

The cooler is the same on the GTX980Ti and TX and at 100% whack that's what it sounds like that.

agnes · 13 Jun 2015 at 20:16

Odd, my 780's Windforce 3x did NOT sound like that under heavy load. Infact, it rarely even spun up to an audible level.

Sticking to the G1, I've changed my order so many times lol.

Edit: However, with the date of 16th also slapped onto the Inno3D and being cheaper than the G1... I'm Tempted, I have the room in the case.
