I have exactly the same version but for GTX 980. While this is a solid and good product, the Air cooling nowadays is sadly insufficient. On 1440p modern games two of those 980's heat is very fast over 70c or even 80 right away. So I always have to monitor temperatures and limit FPS to be able to hold them below 70c.
Sadly it is impossible to install hybryd cooler on those as they have non standard PCB (longer).
Good card otherwise.

Actually boss I have already seen the retailing. Model GV-N98TWF3OC-6GD and price is about €700.
Besides the OC in the sku I think they are the same or its just he OC version. :thumbup:

You need good exhaust in a case with this card+cooler equipped, right?

And if you go through the trouble of getting a hybrid cooler, you might as well go for a full cover block for water cooling if you already have a loop.

will probably be cheapest 980Ti and also lowest ASIC out there. sorry for edit, i didn't notice this is the non OC version.

From my experience, open-air coolers, even good ones like Gigabyte's, can struggle to keep temps down when put in SLI. I used to have a pair of GTX 470's with the Windforce cooler. While they did great individually and overclocked like champs, the top card always got into the 80's when they were in SLI (despite having two slots between them).
If I were going to go SLI again with hot graphics cards, I would probably go for the blower design.
