I couldn't resist so put one in my work PC :P they only have a 750w psu else i would have tried both.

after a few heaven benchmarks this one was running at 59degrees but the card is silent compared with previous stock cooling cards ive had.

Tbh, at your standard clocks with 2 Lightnings and your monitor, you should be able to max every single game on the market currently, then when something slightly more demanding comes along, start upping the overclock. They should do 1100mhz on standard volts and will pwn everything for at least 3 years.
 
i am having a small issue with ram on my system. I have 32gb but in 8 sticks. I have found stability hard to come by running more than 4 sticks of ram. So currently sticking with 16gb it has been stable for some time. I will try applying my CPU overclock again tonight see what i can do with it.
