Kfa2 gtx 670 ex oc

[demonking]

So............waiting for my cheque to clear from mr inland revenue and looked at one of these
http://www.ebuyer.com/409678-kfa2-g...-dual-dvi-hdmi-displayport-pci-e-67nph6dv6kvz

just wondered if anyone knew anymore about it, reviews i've read for it a are good but I dont know much about KFA2, they are fairly new to the GPU scene i believe

has anyone used a KFA2, had experience with their customer service and RMA department, or know if there custom coolers are actually alright?

like i said the review i read was good but... any commercial sites i read reviews on i don't trust. OC3D are just about the only reviews i actually trust.

KFA2 aren't new to the GPU scene. They are BFG basically.

When BFG went tits up and folded Galaxy USA bought them out and basically re-opened the plant in Wales. So the RMA is UK based as it always was. The only downside to KFA2 is you only get a two year warranty, not three like with EVGA or MSI or Giga.

The pros and cons weigh out though as MSI and EVGA are in the EU so RMA gets expensive, with only Giga being UK based / three year.

Other than that KFA2 should be an excellent company to RMA with

any ideas on performance and reliability?
if they are just a re-brand of BFG then thats cool once upon a time i had 2 BFG maxi core 260's and although they were as hot as a frying pan they did kick arse.

Just wish that that custom cooler came in black. when i get the new system going everything else is gonna be. other option is the going with a either a stock cooler (EVGA of course) or an MSI as its a mini itx build so I've only got dual slot. the phantom and asus ect are 2.5 slots and i ain't got the space

From reviews I have seen on OCUK from buyers and Revoo or whatever it's called this card is supposed to be dynamite.

If you're after a stock card this would be the one to go with.

Basically because it's a 680 PCB and cooler so will clock very well and remain quiet. It's also pretty cheap tbh.

If you wanted more feedback on the KFA2 card check the customer reviews here

I used to have one.

Honestly the best performing, quietest cooler on a GPU I've ever had.

The cards are awesome. You can lock the fans to 30% and temperatures still don't go above 65 degrees C with decent case air flow.

The only downsides are the custom PCB. My one also wasn't the best clocker, but then again it'd been pretty much the same as my EVGA FTW 670 so wouldn't really blame KFA2 for that.

If I were to recommend any 670 - it would be the KFA2 one.
Just you get a lot of people, possibly like yourself who is weary about buying from a relatively unknown brand.

Good to know

It seems that poor clocking 670s are widespread tbh because one of mine is a crappy clocker.

Ed. Here you go.. Same card different packing.
