Forget the 970s, what about all those Haribo

Those cards don't look bad at all. What colour is the pcb and do you get any coil whine?

Blue PCB (which is tiny!) - I'll post up a pic. Highly tempted to have a go at watercooling at some point... Booted up Crysis for the menu test which produced that 2k+ fps whiiiiiine. Didn't notice any while doing some benchmarks or idle. My corsair cooler is pretty loud though...

I had no idea the stock Galax 970's looked that good, do you think you could take more photos of them please?

Sure have a few:

Not much of a photographer sorry

They don't look bad actually even with the blue Pcb. Interested to know how well they clock.

Got this after Metro, not touched volts, could go higher but not sure how much (bit scared lol) max temp was 64c

Check the sensors tab to see what it's really boosting to. At +155 it's probably around 1500mhz.

Memory you should be able to do +500, that puts it at 8000mhz which everyone seems to be hitting on Samsung memory.

Ugh, cant wait for my MSI 970 to arrive

My water blocks are sitting here now but cards don't arrive until tomorrow lol (wanted to make sure blocks shipped before ordering cards as I was getting dirt cheap clearance blocks).

Warehouse guys must have heard us. Packed & shipping. Now to offload this gtx770.

Is that with changing volts etc?

A lot of performance for the money.

Nice.

My board only supports two.

Should be enough for now.

Yeah less than I paid for my 780ti 3 months ago

Just hoping the cooler isn't too loud.

Gripen90 · 22 Sep 2014 at 16:38

Joining the club. Ordered them yesterday (on a Sunday!) and they came this morning.
