Palit

Yeah palit seem good I got the cheapest palit dual 1080 it was only £430 at the time which was cheaper than some of the 1070's.

The cooler is great for normal use but does start to make noise if you overclock it.

The card looks and feels cheap but has been a great card and in most games with vsync kicked in the card is completely silent.

Im very happy with the card but if I was buying again I would have probably spent the extra £20 and get the jetstream.

Yeah I agree, the cards do look cheap and the blower style variants can get pretty loud.

Otherwise, a solid card that does the job at a lower price.
 
My own experience was with 1080 jetstream. Really pleased with it in terms of heat, noise and so on but unfortunately it is the only graphics card to have failed on me and after just 9 months. That is also without any overclocking... Couldn't have happened at a worse time as now looking to replace following refund only from another store.
 
The Jetstream cooler is one of the best regardless of price point, so from a noise and temp perspective they're excellent. I'd have another in a heartbeat over some of the other over priced tat.

That has to have a similar board to the standard 1070, would you mind telling me which AIO you used and did you need to fit extra ramsinks?

Cheers :)

Hi mate, yeah sure, I'm using the OCUK Tech Labs one. It's the 240mm Kraken G12 adapter and whatever make the AIO that comes with it (Think it's Acetek?) and the noiseblocker fans (which really are silent). Now that I've moved my base unit out of the desk cupboard my idle temps are 29 degrees and under heavy gaming load it sits in the mid 30's and on benchmarking I've not managed to get it over 40 degrees. Pretty sure that the Palit Dual I have is the reference PCB too.

I didn't need the RAM sinks in hindsight as the fan in the unit seems to keep them cool enough, but I put some on anyway as well as sinks on the VRM's. Got 2 packs of rectangular shaped stick on jobs from Rainforest which all sit under the unit with plenty of clearance. Cost about a tenner for them all. All in all the GPU, with AIO and RAM sinks stands me at £520. I know that's borderline GTX1080 money, but from my Unigine Superposition results I'm benching faster scores than 75% of custom OC'd 1080's and that's using a stable overclock which I use day to day (in other words, not an OC that literally will do a single benchmark pass before artefacts or blue screens start happening!).

Top man, cheers for that!
 
Only ever owned two Palit cards. A 580 that died about a month outside its warranty period, and a 780 that died just as the warranty was expiring (but the competitor replaced it in good faith when Palit wouldn't).

When you consider I've owned a whole host of other brands over my time, none of them have ever failed. No more Palit. Never again.
