Next to the flagship product we also test the more budget Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 SOC gaming graphics card. The product does not vary much from the 980 other than a chunk of performance. This card however has one 6 and one 8-pin power feed but then again, does come with that 600 Watt WindForce cooler. The G1 Gaming has 4 GB graphics memory, is energy efficient and factory overclocked for you. You will be surprised by how this card looks, how silent it is and how well it performs.

VRM is somewhat hot on that MSI. Gigabyte had coil whine and fan issues so I ordered Asus Strix.

You ordered the GTX 970 from Gigabyte? Damn. Its not even available here.
Care to explain what exactly the fan issues were?

I love that they atleast included a backplate. Any word on pricing?
Hilbert can you take off its clothes so that we can see how the VRM is being cooled?
MSI didn't include a backplate, but atleast got their VRM cooling right this time. Although the Gigabyte version OCs super high so I guess that isn't an issue. Also Sammy ram omfg.
Can you post FLIR temps of the OC? I'd like to know what all is frying with a 1500mhz boost clock.
