I'm looking for the card that has the best cooling to keep temps low. Noise is also important but comes second where cooling and reliability comes first. I want to stick with air cooling. The case that I will use is the Phanteks luxe and I will keep the default fan set ups with a 200mm fan in the front, 140mm at the top back and 140mm at the back.
Ive narrowed down my choices between MSI, Asus, and EVGA. The ones Im looking into are MSI GTX 980Ti Gaming 6G, Asus GTX 980Ti Strix, EVGA GTX 980Ti SC+ ACX 2.0+.
Ive heard that the Asus Strix had temperature issues and run quite hot, Im not sure if this is still the case anymore, if anyone can confirm whether or not. Coil whine is something I also fear and its more of a hit or miss but which of these cards have had the least coil whine issues? Basically I want to get the card that will last me for a very long time that is durable and overall good quality with low temperatures. If there are any other 980Tis that meet my criteria, Im open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out, hopefully I can make a decision very soon.
