** NVIDIA GTX 970 REFERENCE EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE FROM OcUK IN EUROPE!! **

never noticed any marks on mine, i would like to mod the led lights to blue or white but would proberly lose the warranty

You can change the LED to white without removing the cooler. Although, it's uncertain if the manufacturer would dismiss an RMA because of it. I know EVGA don't care.

Would be harsh if they did given it's such a simple mod. You're hardly ripping the guts out of the card or anything. Perhaps depends on what grounds you were RMA'ing it.

Guys you can do this and your warranty will be intact but not on the led failing.
 
Any feedback on Whine...so many cards sold no one reporting anything on the forum? :D

Chop Chop!


Which normally means very happy customers, they only post to complain. ;)

They are all so amazed they are doing a 24hr gaming stint in silence as the rest of the family can sleep due to no crazy fan noises or strange buzzing sounds. :D ;)
 
Still debating between this and an MSI 980 reference... About a hundred euros difference here in the Netherlands.

i hate having to make choices like that, i mean you could save 100 euros and be happy or mabe 6 months down the line you could be wishing you paid the extra for a tiny bit more performance.

i think i would go for the 970 and later if you need it get another for sli

Was thinking about that... but then again this might be a limited run and it would look terrific to have two different cards in SLI.

LOL I know that too well... in my job that is the case too, people write only to complain never to say thank you :D
 
Any chance you can take a pic with the cooler off Gibbo, seen as you did this yesterday? :)

Its being put back together now and sent of for review. :)

But if you google 980 NVIDIA PCB you will find plenty of pics and this is identical to that. :)
 
installed no whine and whisper quiet
