NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD

My 970 ASIC is 81.6% and runs to 1600Mhz on stock volts.
I have had low ASIC before of other cards and they was rubbish clockers so i believe there is some truth to it.

What are the best 970s for 3 or 4 way SLI?
Do any 970s have the Titan style cooler?

1250 is quite good for a 780 they don't clock like the 970/980 cards.
ASIC is just a measure of how much voltage a chip needs to achieve it's stated clocks.
Say it's 1v this would be %100 anything more and the % score decreases. As the chips are produced the stated V for %100 can vary throughout the run and is generally more batch specific than chip.
In short a higher ASIC can mean you have a better chip requiring less voltage but it does not always mean it will clock better.
That's what I make of it anyway....

All setup, tell you what though its a tight squeeze around the caps but a bit of a wiggle and a little bit of pressure while putting in the screws and its up and running, well the desktop at least
Will do some tests see if its working ok.
Idle temps: 27°C
Just out of interest, is it the motherboard directly or the GPU that causes no video signal for ~10 seconds on initial boot up
Once the light changes on my monitor to picking a signal up the pc boots in around 15s to windows password but wondering how I can reduce that initial video synchronisation / detection with a 970 / MSI X99 board

MSI card 1 is 74.7%
MSI card 2 is 74.9%
Ive got to say with one card my rig was ultra cool and quiet but after adding the second its turned into an oven when playing Crysis 3 cauaing my cpu loop to get very warm which has never happened before.
I'm now thinking of a new case that has good airflow through the cards.

Not yet, though there may be in a week or two.
If it runs a 580 then a 970 should be no problem.
I think I am going to add another Noctua and flow some air directly over the card exhausting through one of the blanking plates.
Thanks
It's a Silverstone Strider Plus modular 600W about 2 years old. Maybe I do need to upgrade?

Model SST-ST60F-P?
If that is it then your PSU have 42A +12V rail.
I managed to find GTX 970 and 980 power requirement from MSI.
https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/printer/power-requirements-for-graphics-cards
28A so you will be fine.
Just noticed GTX 580 on the list stunned to see it used 40A, GTX 970 used less than 40A.

Yes it is the ST604F
(•Dual +12V With Continuous 48A Combined Output) You a mind reader in your spare time? Thanks all. Now to pick one.
