Palit GTX980 super jetstrem any good??

[steverebo]

Anyone got the Palit gtx980 super jetstream?

Ebuyer have let me return my MSI GTX970's so Im looking to grab a pair of 980's instead and these cards are going for £408 so I wondered if they were any good as Ive only ever owned MSI, GIGABYTE and ASUS

If you are going to WaCool them it doesnt really matter does it?

BTW are you going for a custom loop again?

nope Ive just put my case with all the watercooling bits plus my 2 970TF5 blocks and backplates up for sale and Im going to put the money into a pair of 980's in sli plus a H110i GT

The palit cooler is about on par with the MSi one Temp wise but its a bit more silent

Im looking at this one or the KFA2 SOC 980 witch is only £399

Attached a small graph with Temps and noise, sadly without the KFA2

I think the GALAX one is the KFA2 I think they are the same brand. Hmmm temps are not great on it but the KFA2 looks much nicer than the palit one and comes with ocuk's no coil whine promise

nearly none of the 980's has had coil whine, atleast I didnt hear anyone complain
and yes the Galax and KFA are the same, my bad
