Can't the GTX 970 be bought new for £240 though
I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for a better brand 970 - don't want any coil whine
Temperatures are excellent. With the fans at a complete stop in idle (which is awesome), slightly higher idle temperatures are normal (and comparable to Palit and ASUS which also stop their fans).
During gaming, temperatures are better than on any other GTX 970 we have tested before, and since the MSI GTX 970 is also one of the quietest GTX 970s, its cooler is probably one of the best.
