**Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti Review Thread**

I have an original H50 that's been running daily since 2009 ;)

That's because it is an original one.

I have found it depends on the OEM corsair use for their products. I haven't been impressed with some of their products in the last couple of years, where before that just about everything was top notch.
 
So msi are corsair powered who are asetek powered :p As said it probably won't be on sale bare like that, but sorta surprising they don't seem to have shown pics of the shroud over the aio.

Good to see more oem's taking the aio on board, just gives more options instead of everything being limited to an air cooler so huge and heavy you have to reinforce the pci-e slot.
 
I'm a little worried that I won't be able to get water blocks for my pre-ordered Zotac GTX 980 Ti AMP Extreme cards - they have non reference PCBs.

Hmmm.... C'mon EK don't let me down!
 
Looks like everywhere else in the UK is awaiting stock too. Some expected tomorrow or Monday depending on reseller and brand.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow and saturday delivery :)

Hoping for this too.

Place I ordered had 30 coming in with only 13 on back order, so I should have mine Saturday... I hope.

Would rather have got from here, but such is life.
 
I'm so gutted :( Really was hoping to get it before the weekend. I R disappoint EVGA... Serious disappoint.

And OcUK staff, grow a pair and get a solid and detailed answer from your vendors so we, your customers have an idea of what is actually going on.

Gibbo would be kicking ass and taking names if he was there :D
 
Eyetrip think I know who you ordered from as I'm contemplating ordering from them too.

If I was going to get a reference card, is there any reason I'd want EVGA over any other brand ie MSI, Inno3D?

It's purely a warranty / Customer Service thing. I know EVGA has relatively good CS for RMAs etc, as does Gigabyte. Never used the others so I can't vouch for them.

I'm in the same boat. OcUK are suffering brand damage thanks to their suppliers providing them incorrect information and in turn not setting realistic expectations for consumers. Really frustrating to have your hopes built up only to be let down (second time this has happened for me with OcUK).

I was amazed OcUK had ETAs on delivery several days before any other UK site I saw, and won my business for that reason (and because they provide such a great place for the community to come together as these forums, it makes me genuinely LIKE them as a group of people and not seem like a faceless company). However, the cynical side of me does question if those ETAs were purposefully optimistic, just because they know customers would place orders with them first, thinking we would get cards faster than other vendors.[/tinfoil hat]

It really is a shame :(

Let's just hope we get a realistic answer tomorrow.

Not sure if posted already, but Inno3d are releasing an AIO watercooled 980Ti too!

http://www.inno3d.com/products_detail.php?refid=203

Little video on here too of this, and 2 other custom design 980Ti's (that look a little too Transformers for my liking) http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/83732-inno3d-launches-trio-custom-gtx-980-ti-graphics-cards/

My next card(s) is definitely going to be a pre built AIO cooled like this or the EVGA Hybrid.

That Inno3D AIO comes with a nice core clock, 1203Mhz!

And it comes with an LED loading indicator!

I'm in :D

Same. The ETA was the difference. OCUK isn't even my first choice usually. Worked out pretty well for them though since I paid for two. :p
