Gigabyte GTX 560 question

Guys,

I can get some new Gigabyte GTX 560 OC or GTX 560 SOC (Not Ti versions) for a very good price from work (Sorry OCuk !)

I know the SOC is clocked slightly higher but I'm sure I read somewhere that the cooler is very slightly different on the SOC as well.

Has anybody got one of these ? ? Is it worth the extra to get the SOC version ? ? Is the SOC version any louder ? ? Are they much quieter than my Gainward GTS250 ? ?

Tried finding reviews etc. found plenty of the OC version but not many of the SOC.

Not really a gamer but the price I can get them at means it's going to be a good upgrade from my noisy GTS250 !

If it helps, the specs are Gigabyte EP-45-UD3P, Non OC'ed Q9650 CPU, 4GB Corsair DDR2-8500 RAM, 620w Enermax PSU & 22" Samsung screen.


Cheers
Jeggsy

Get either

I have the overclocked version and i have overclocked to soc spec without any voltage tweaks with msi afterburner. if you dont want to overclock yourself go for the the soc which does have a slighty improved cooler.

Both cards are superb.

Cheers for the reply...

I see that the 560Ti have had a few issues, especially OC'ed versions.

Has the 560 had any issues ? ?

Sorry for so many questions, just want to make sure before I part with my cash !
