Wouldnt it be better to get Gigabyte windforce 3x ? These coolings are much better than refrent cooling.

What ever the guy wants, theres money saved to get a MSI power edition or Gigabyte Windforece 3X

Definitely. Worth getting a pre OC 670, rather than a reference model.

 

[stulid]

The strange thing is I cant ever remember the stock reference cooler being described as poor.

I believe they are fine and is more than suitable for stock speeds. Some people mention they can be loud. Sounds all subjective.

Brilliant, that's the one but as the other guy mentioned an OC GPU please? Also the Hyper 212 Evo?Ohh yea is 550W enough?

 

[stulid]

You can use the 212Evo, its yet another good cooler at just a lower price point

550W (a good quality PSU like the Corsair) is fine for a single GTX670 and that spec - http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_geforce_gtx_670_power_edition_oc_review,8.html

GeForce GTX 670 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.

Pick either the Gigabyte 670 Windforce3X/MSI power edition if you want a OC card.

The other PSU back in, a different GTX670.

 

[Dafydd Beck]

wahts the diference between this GPU and the OC one?Significant diference in performance?

 

[stulid]

The FTW card is an overclocked model (look at the core clock/memory clock and boost clock compared to a standard GTX670@£300)

The cooler on it is different than a reference version, but not as swish as the MSI/Gigabyte models.

Review,
