Asus GTX 970 Turbo - opinions?

[Muyfa666]

Hi there fellas.

I'm looking to buy a GTX 970 and are looking at the Asus GTX 970 Turbo due to the blower fan type, which I need for my cramped HTPC case.

Since the card is quite new, it's hard to find much opinions about it.

Can anyone that owns it provide some info on it?

Appriciated, thanks in advance.

Look at reviews eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121926

bit loud, some with coil whine

It's still better than reference one. I hope ur cpu has a clc else it will take all the heat and make overall temps on the PCB higher.

I'm sorry, but what is a clc?

Closed Loop Cooler such as a Corsair h100i.

I have a EVGA GTX 670 FTW blower type today that works ok.

Guess this one will too...

I also noticed that there are a Gigabyte GTX 970 Twin Turbo blower type card coming.

Might wait for that one as it looks awesome.

EDIT: While I'm on the subject, would a Asus GTX 970 Mini be a decent choice?

I see a lot of poor reviews for that mini card at Newegg.

I see. I'll wait for the Gigabyte one then before I make my decision...

Seem like the Gigabyte one is sligthly bigger than what my case allows.

The Asus Turbo does seem to have a nice fit thou. Guess I'll go with that one.
