OcUK will not be offering it if its not on our descriptions, you only get it if it is advertised as such on OcUK.
I shall check and request more games from NVIDIA, but if you order when no game is showing, then you won't get a game.

I want a new game 
Just got more codes from NVIDIA, the game promotion is live again, you should now see it showing on qualifying products.

Oh No , just bought the bundle yesterday after 2 weeks of trying to decide between the 970 or the 780ti , didn't notice that Witcher 3 was missing from the promotion at the time, any chance of a code Gibbo ?
check your account history after you recieve the card.
Thanks very much Gibbo , you are a star. Spent so long thinking about it then when I saw it was on this week only I just jumped on it without checking all the details again.
If a code does not appear email our CS or post on here linking to my reply here and they shall sort you a code.
Yes we shall be ordering no more as we have around 1000ish left which we expect to be sold out around October time.

Makes sense
Any ideas whether there would be price drops at all - is that dictated by Nvidia?
I see there is currently £10 off but not sure whether its worth my while to hold off for a bit then buy later on or make most of it now.

I can't see any future price moves to be honest now, I think we are now pretty much set for rest of year as sales naturally start to pickup August due to entering peak season.
What we might see is new game bundles of course, but nothing is confirmed as of yet.
I've ended up at +225 on the base clock/1289 with boost at 1428 & +400 on the memory clocks. That seems quite decent over stock? Memory can go some more but not had too much time to tweak it to the max.
Cracking card with a really nice finish. I'm glad I picked this model up.

Is it safe to run the fans at 100% 24/7 on these cards? I ask because on auto it idles at 52c and under load it gets to the mid 70's c. With fans at 100% it idles at 37c and gets to about 60c under load which is better. I just don't want to kill my fans if it's not recommended.
Secondly, I'm getting a windowed side panel tomorrow with a fan port and wondering if I should set it to draw air in (it's parallel to the card) or to exhaust out?
Cheers.

100% is fine, the card is designed to operate as quietly as possible upto 70-80c and then it will slightly increase fan speed to keep the card under 80c, this is how NVIDIA designed the cooling.
I'd personally set the fan around 60-80% as that should be enough to stay around 60c load whilst remaining very quiet.
Why exactly do you want to even if it's fine (which it is)? The card is designed to handle the temps, dropping it from 70's to 60c isn't going to have any affect on it's lifespan just create more noise.
I don't know know what the heat threshold on GPU's is so for all I know 70/80c is extremely high.
I'm slightly deaf so I can't even hear it at 100%.
80c is throttle point, won't be any harm but at the same time running it cooler won't do any harm either and also if you keep temps around 60c the card will boost higher giving more performance.
