It is one of the better coolers at the lower end for custom 980ti`s are all your thermal pads lined up and touching the chips properly.

Everything appears to be good. In honesty i cannot grumble at that memory value.
My games absolutely fly. i have never been able to run Crysis 3 fully maxed out with every detail on above 100 fps 1440p before so im a happy man.
Is it due to the efficient architecture of the 980Ti that the reference card (especially water cooled) is as good as it gets?
After months reading about the various models, I realized how silly it is all this marketing towards custom board designs with extra power phases.
Terms like "elite tier", "super pipes", "military Class", and everything concerning Asic.
The best card is a simple and cheap reference model with a custom loop.
That's it for my mini rant, next time I read "eilite tier" I'll punch hole through my monitor. Damn marketing ruining the world.

"simple" and "custom loop" 
I don't really buy into it all, but I base my purchases more on aesthetics than functionality... I don't think anyone outside of SFF and/or a custom loop should buy a reference cooler though, unless they're going 3 way SLI (but why would you on a 980Ti?)

Has to be family friendly, even if things do get a little heated sometimes. And to be honest, having seen how toxic things can get on other forums when stuff like that is allowed, I'm glad the rules are there.

Start a price check thread in the MM. You can't discuss it outside MM.

Cant be many second hand ones around surely? Looking forwards to some testing when I get my build together.

Well, the palit jetstream is available new at the moment for £490inc so I'd expect £450 to be a pretty reasonable price second hand for something reference based, nearer £500 for a better one.

I've been offered £500 for my G1 Gaming a couple of times, tempted to sell it on and get the HoF for its aesthetics - but the fan controller would annoy me.

I am sure you will find a seller on the MM.

Yes an extra 50 on the memory clock taking it to 500 in afterburner = 8000 will not make any difference when it comes to gaming.Have fun.
