Folding on GTX980 and noise levels

Those of you folding on GTX980s, what cards do you have and how is the noise/temps? I cannot hear a difference on my GTX680 from idle to full load. It stays super quiet. That being said, I need an upgrade.

Personally, I like the look of the reference GTX980s best. My only concern is how loud it will be under full load 24/7. It's going to be in a mITX case as well, but airflow should be good.
 
Hey man,

I own a MSI Twin Frozr V 980 and I have to say it is the quietest card I have ever had, I can barely hear it at all in most games I play and in games such as League of Legends the fans don't spin at all. Would highly recommend the card! Looks awesome as hell in real life too!

Ordered! Should be here Thursday. I'll pop it in my current system and use it while I'm waiting on the case.

@kilobravo: What kind of PPD are you seeing?

Edit: Thanks for the advice everyone, much appreciated. B)

On core17 about 395k ppd oc`ed but, hope not to get core15 or 18 then ppd will drop below 75k ppd.
 
It does run nice and quiet even under load. Sitting at about 305k PPD. Played some WoW on it last night and doubled the frames over my 680 while also putting all settings to max. So far very pleased.

How is the PPD holding up on that new card? Any OC PPD numbers available yet.

Have fun with it dude!!:cool:

Oh and stay away from core 15 WUs:rollinglaugh:

Wish they would expire.......
 
Just read your message and ran downstairs to check. Guess what I'm crunching right now? Yep, a core 15 showing 78k PPD. And I'm getting some coil whine too, hopefully that's just while folding that core. Had no whine while folding a core 17 WU. I installed it about 10 mins before my raid last night (WoW) so haven't touched the clocks. Think I'm going to wait for that until I get the new system.

Edit: Oh and showing over 500k the last 24 hrs...liking that B)
