Could put a G10 on it, you keep the backplate on the 6G and the card already has a midplate covering all the vrms. With a H75 and SP120 Quiet Editions push pull never seen it break 55c

To be honest i would rather replace the TIM now and then go full loop when i can get the money together later this year.

EK are making water blocks for the Msi Gaming (and the Gigabyte G1 also) according to one of their reps on another site, to be released later this month or early September.

I am not really a fan of AIO's on a GPU as full blocks just look so much nicer.

Fair enough, full loop is always the best performing but I'm easily pleased with a cheap and easy solution.

WOOOOHOOOOO Look what the dpd man just bought!!

Already installed, ASIC quality of 76.5% (if that means anything)

If anyone else is thinking of getting this card, I can definitely say the quality of the cooler/backplate is astounding, the card is REALLY heavy, but so quiet in operation.

I also love the subtle lighting on it!!

I can finally play dying light without mega stuttering!!

Pretty chuffed!

Out of interest, did you get the blank backplate version?

Yes it is the blank backlate version, which is much better for me as it blends in with my Corsair Obsidian 800D case perfectly!!

Gerard · 17 Aug 2015 at 15:57

Whats the story with those backplates anyway? Was there some kind of screw up at the factory and a load were produced with no graphics on the back? I don't recall them advertising a blank one so can only assume it was a mistake.

razorpakk · 17 Aug 2015 at 16:33

All I know is that on overclock.net some people have managed to get the right one by sending the card back to Zotac.
When I contacted them from the UK, they said they couldn't do it.

snips86x · 17 Aug 2015 at 16:36

Should have posted in here really. Looking to get a 980Ti to replace my current single Titan.

What do you think of this?

Joe! · 17 Aug 2015 at 16:38

I believe it performs relatively well, however I am not a huge fan of the aesthetics, the brand (much like Zotac, and Palit) is probably one reason why it's so cheap.

If I recall, it's a slightly louder model, but it's also one of the coolest.

Can't be as bad as running SLi Titan in a micro ATX

if you have a look at the pictures, it's actually a different design backplate, as well as having no graphics.

Probably sourced from an alternate supplier.

Poor show on Zotac's part I think. All the review models had the original, decorated backplate.

Nope, Inno X3 Ultra is the most efficient cooler out there, great temps and very low noise. It beats the Amp! Extreme and HoF cooler (had those Tis recently).

I'd take that review with a pinch of salt as i would pretty much all reviews when it comes to their sound testing. Just have to look at reviews across sites to see that it varies wildly to say the least. Some sites get around 36db on a given card for example and on other sites its up into the 40's on the same card.

Good example here, that same airboss card that hexus got virtual silence from, well this site thinks different.

http://www.hardwareluxx.com/index.p...force-gtx-980-ti-ichill-x3-ultra.html?start=4

Seen another review that put it at 42.9db.

razorpakk · 17 Aug 2015 at 19:40

Had the card in my case when I was coming from a 970 Gaming: it is as quiet as it gets (besides the coil whine which forced me to RMA). The other Inno3D owners can confirm that

http://www.computerbase.de/2015-06/geforce-gtx-980-ti-custom-test-partnerkarten-vergleich/4/

For 509£, it's the one to get. It doesn't look as tacky in person.

rolypolyman · 17 Aug 2015 at 20:08

I got the Air Boss Ultra X4 and I can tell you it is soooooo quiet and very cool. Also The shroud is totally awesome and strong metal. I'm loving it!

Jewlario · 17 Aug 2015 at 20:08

If anyone asked me about the Amp! Extreme after my experience, I'd probably tell them to steer clear, amazing binning, and I had a stupidly high asic on mine, but the pulsating fan problem they are plagued with is such a headache.

Buy it at this price especially I paid £529.99 for mine from OCUK a few weeks ago.

Its 100% silent unless you have poor case ventilation & can run Arkham Knight maxxed out @ 4K with ease (disable all buggy gameworks FX except enhanced rain as the rest sap FPS on every GPU until its patched).

As this GPU has a massive factory OC you need to be aware you also need a stonking PSU as it draws a lot of power expecially on a system like mine with a 12 thread CPU oced to 3.46Ghz
