  1. holy sht!! this is a monster of a card! im impressed by the temperatures and still decent noise.

  2. Any hint on how hot the VRM’s were? I don’t suppose you could monitor them in GPUz?

  3. you just need an infrared thermometer like the PCE-777

  4. looks cool and is a giant dust trap! lol closed circuit liquid cooling like some amd cards have done would be much better imo

  5. While i want to agree, it will make it harder to fit. Especially if you go for an SLI setup.
    They would likely have a fan on there regardless so they can cool the other components such as memory and VRMs. Plus if you have filters on your case, dust shouldn’t be too much of an issue if you set it up properly.

  6. Why does this video card have a name created by a 9 year old Cawwadooty player?

  7. Will an SLI of these fit in an Asus Maximus vii hero board? D:

  8. How the vrm temp under furmark??

  9. How the vrm temp under furmark??

  10. it’s a triple slot card

  11. I meant the depth, when it is in your case, not the thickness.
    Thanks though!

  12. just bought 2 of them… can’t wait!!! 😀

  13. D:

    Please do tests again with 347.52 this can’t be right. My 970 1557/3888 1.275v gets 13581 in firestrike!!

  14. For about that money I will get me an evga hydro 980 ti, and kick it’s ugly ass.
