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...

Sure have a few:

Not much of a photographer sorry

Really tidy & clean build there

Think it's spurred me into sorting the snakes-nest in my case before I put my 970 in

Do you have to quote every picture? Makes it a pita when scrolling on a phone.

Why do they say "Galax" and not "Galaxy" is it a cheap knock off ?

Seems the 980 and 970 are better in 3DMark than they are in Heaven.

GALAX formed from a merge of Galaxy and KFA2.

Yeah I don't really understand that, it does look a bit daft.

Yeah they are pretty average in Heaven for some reason.

Do these cards with waterblocks on look lost inside most cases because they're small PCBs?

Still need someone who has clocked the MSI 970 quite high to show me their Afterburner as a guide please

I'd rather not mess up the card, +500 memory crashes the driver on stock volt etc

You can't mess up the card.
