Decided to stick to either MSI, Evga or Gigabyte, purely for warranty.

Could have ordered some Gigabyte just a little while ago, but not at £50 over RRP. Not going to stand for gouging.

Also just noticed - the list of graphics cards says "pre-order" but if you actually go to the page it says 3 ready for immediate dispatch ( which should change to 2 soon)

I wouldn't recommend reference design, wait for a third party to come in stock and get much better temps and overclock.

Yeah, but the price...

Come on OcUK! I'd like to buy here!

Hang on before you start cancelling your pre-orders. OCUK have confirmed they are getting stock now, as you can see with Gigabyte and KAF2. For all we know EVGA could be sending 50+ stock their way this week, so hold fire until Sunday.

Yeah but water isn't an option for me and I plan on going sli at a later stage.
From experience 2 non ref cards blowing air into my case isn't going to help temps at all.

Maybe if you're going SLI, me I am going with a single card solution so will be waiting on a third party cooler.

That's how i ordered mine.

Gigabyte are OK with aftermarket coolers and Corsair have said their bracket does/will support the 980 ti reference - I have a H100 laying around from a few months ago so I can just slap that on there.

UK based check the you warranty thread if you worried ?

It doesn't Watercool the card like a proper block would though, something to keep in mind.

Is anyone planning to watercool their 980Ti? If so what card/block combo are you looking at. I was thinking the EK Titan X full cover with backplate and the MSI Gaming card.

Which version?

I ordered the Palit, Got the titan waterblock for it anyway so am not fussed about the brand.

My other card is a EVGA, No idea when that will come.

RyanF · 8 Jun 2015 at 12:14

That Gigabyte reference price though :eek:

I'm going to be putting mine underwater when I set up my first loop later this month. Going for the Gigabyte reference card (from elsewhere cause of that gouge price) & EKWB Titan X Acetal. I did get an email from MSI Customer Service earlier that told me stock cooler removal is fine, despite various people on their official forums saying otherwise *facepalm*

Yeah...

Could have ordered 980 ti's several times over by now, but don't feel like bending over for the e-tailers...
