Nvidia made these right the first time around, no reason to fix what isn't broken.Ĭons: They do get up to 84C under full load (this is adjustable as I understand it, up to 91C, but I'm going to stick with stock settings for the time being as I'm running SLI). I might add that I get zero coil whine, which is really what I was hoping for going with the reference PCBs. My air conditioner kicking in (and it is that time of year) cancels out any sound I hear coming from my PC at all. You don't hear the fan or the fan motor, but the sound of air moving at a low volume.

It's more like a good floor fan that has been set to low. But it's not the 'vacuum cleaner' I was warned about either. At full load, I won't say they're silent, they're not, and my case does have sound dampening paneling so take that into consideration. Loading up the Witcher 3 at 4k and all of my fears were instantly abated. The first good news is that these are silent at idle, or at least they're not louder than my platter drives because that's the loudest sound coming from my case and we're talking about a baseline hum. I have a Define R5 case and was planning on doing SLI, so the blower design seemed like my only reasonable option considering aftermarket designs don't play well in SLI in relatively small, low airflow cases. My main concern was the sound, as I've never had reference cards before, and had heard nothing but horror stories as to how loud they are and how hot they run. Pros: You should already know the specs on this card so I'm not going to go into performance.
