LOL did you get the FTW version also? It was also a surprise that the card lit up
Soldato
Actually, no FML...
Is it just higher clocked or something?

Oh sweet. Hope you get some good clockage out of it
Soldato
Dammit! 
... And I might nick your new case too

The Heatkiller IV? That's just not on 
I have two Zotac GTX 980Ti "Artic Storm" and I'm well happy with them.
But something a mate said to me the other day has me thinking. Although my cards are water cooled would a different block ie say from EK.
1) be a better cooling solution than the one already on the card (The fans on my card are redundant)
2) Which one if 1 is yes.

What are your full load temperatures?

Guess so, but firestrike and games are different things tbh.
Fwiw, I just got 15982 in standard firestrike with my cpu @4.4 and card at stock (boosts to 1316-1329mhz). GFX score 18433.
I'd imagine the x99 boys are getting plenty more than that.

I've yet to try the 5820k in fs, but iirc with a 4.7ghz 4790k and a 980ti at 1489mhz core oc I hit just over 16000.

It's when your GPU usage drops below 99% when you need to worry, more importantly, when your GPU usage is <99% and when you aren't hitting your refresh rate.
My i5-3450 was bottlenecking my 980Ti in Valley/Heaven, especially at 1080p, but for games it was 'fine' - I noticed an improvement from a 5820k in games such as GTA:V, but that's to be expected.

I have not had either of the cards above 55 degrees playing BF4

Then you'd be wasting your time switching blocks. Your cards will not throttle at that temperature, so there's no issue to resolve.
EK blocks may get you into the 40s, but there would be no gain in fps, clocks or anything else.
Ah there we go. I'm getting less than 80% usage on the card but in gta just now its hitting around 55fps at 4k.
I'm upgrading everything else in a few weeks anyway so its no issue at the moment.
As I point of reference for the future, what are good overclocks for core and memory? 200 on core, 300 on memory or are these capable of more?
Edit: Regardless, I am so impressed right now regardless. Amazing

For games? Something around 1450 core/1900 memory (aka 4800 in Afterburner) is what I would consider normal for a 980Ti.
I can't give you the figures in +s as every card has a different base core clock
