Have the card exchanged bought today (not Amazon) and returned again today and for another card. The card is already innately really fast, even when compared with other GTX 970. Unfortunately, I found the card idling pretty loud and it was also a pesky noise, which I could not place directly (a sort of whirring). Under load it indeed remained below 60 ° C with very chilly, but there was accordingly loud. Of course you can here with its own cooling concept via Afterburner or similar software remedy where one adjusts itself when the cooler is to use and what not, but idle this works just alone by the BIOS is not here.
All in all I can not recommend the map when maximum performance and maximum overclocking potential wants, and / or a good housing has effective insulation.
Spulenfiepen not struck me unpleasantly, it was from about 120FPS there, but not so as that one could hear it through through the housing.
