...and as regards the running temp Precision X shows that 79 degs is the actual target temp along with 100% power target. Although it might seem crazy when benchmarking but if you have a smaller PC you might want to actually drop the power or temp targets - you prob wont notice the reduced boost clocks but the lower power draw is handy.
If you don't have enough cooling you will notice the 970 throttling as it gets near the limits - e.g. in Furmark. I actually calibrate the fan curve to give it just enough cooling so that it doesn't start to throttle at that max running temp.
I would have thought you should be able to keep the fan curve below 80% at mid 70's degrees. If you nudge down the temp target to match the max volume you're happy with then that should put a cap during the more demanding games - not good for benchmarking but good for living with!
Owners of the cheaper Palit 970 - what's it like in comparison to the other 970s?
I want a cool running quiet 970 to replace my 780 ti. I may even get 2x 970s..
Mine was hitting 76 on 3dmark on stock clocks . should I be worried ?
gibbo said that pretty much all the GTX 970's will hit 80c on defualt fan curves
