I know there are lots of great 980Ti available now but some guys prefer the water cooled versions for better oc/temp, It's a great choice for them. Just look at those oc numbers, the oced card sits in a different class imo like a new chip

"With no added voltage and barely any effort, we quickly had boost frequency ramped-up to 1,441MHz and memory to an effective 8,400MHz. Useful numbers and our log files reveal that the overclock resulted in the core hitting 1,554MHz during real-world gameplay."

Intrigued, 1550+ boost is awesome but I really want to see what these cards can do with locked clocks as I am boost adverse.

Can hit a locked 1515 stable at mid 40's with volt modded bios and custom loop, but I doubt my chips are decently binned as I used gigabyte reference cards. Any faster will produce artifacts in random games, especially hair works in w3.

If someone does pick one of these up, please post locked clock scores as I am now considering this for an itx build of all things.

Not a fan of the overall design, but definitely a nice card. I thought my 980 kingpin was fast and this would laugh in its face.
