I didn't wanna do that though,i think the msi might fit ill have to measure later

the windforce is same length as my 7970/accelero cooler(way too long)

Msi twin frozr cooler is every bit as good as the windforce from my experience.

Personally, i can't decide between the MSI and the Gigabyte

I went for the Gigabyte but they both look like great cards, don't think you can go wrong. Just really like the look of the backplate and it lights up

Main difference for me is the MSI Gaming cards tend to be quieter due to low rpm fans even at 100%. They are 100mm so they push enough air. The fans also stay off at idle/light load so if you want the quieter one I would go for the MSI.

The 980 is 2x 8 Pin according to their website: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-980-GAMING-4G.html#hero-specification

Overclockers need to correct their product description page then as it says 2x6 pin.

Got a gigabyte 970 already but thinking of SLI

Ive got a corsair TX650V2, it only have two PCI power connectors and I assume its not man enough to run two 970's and a 2500k at 4.4 ?

Am I better grabbing one of these ? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-013-SF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2057

Looks like I'm going to have to look in the spare room tomorrow for one (if you don't hear from me then I have probably been buried alive by the mountain of junk in there)

If you don't have one, stick a wanted thread on the MM someone will have one going spare.

I've been gaming most of the day at 1600/2000 clocks and haven't suffered any crashes or artifacts or anything. Card temp ranged from 55c-68c depending on the game. Seriously impressed and don't have any buyers remorse at all as at these clocks it's a fair bit faster than my 780 was.

I won't be using mine. And when I do SLI (next year) I'll just use the bridge from the new card, you don't need 2 right?

Crazy temps for those clocks.
I was planning on getting two with blower fans but maybe the MSI cards would be a better choice.

Nice oc and temps, pretty tempted by a pair of 970's myself but need to refrain.

 

[Digital X]

Yes Internet, waiting for sky to reconnect me. Benchmarks look good from I've seen

 

[inverseSquare]

No one looking at the Asus 970?

People prefer the Twin Frozr cooler?



The MSI is calling me too, some of those oc benchmarks & temps are mental

Oh, and the most important question...

Does the MSI have a mouse pad in the box? (Some of the US video reviews seem to show one)
