GTX 970 Owners Thread

Can someone please accurately measure the length of the card from the connector side (without the protruding dvi port and the angle for the screws) to the other end of the card where the power ports are located, including the fan housing that sticks out a bit further. In metric millimeters please!

MSI already provided measurements, but im not sure if its just the PCB, everything including the metal plate or whatever.

Thanks to whoever helps me out! i will luv you

 

360 mounted internally at the top of the case..(my temps arent great with my current 580+cpu...cpu needing a high amount of vcore to get stable).

 

welcome to the green side

 

Damn, I cracked.
I bought two, can't friggin wait, they should arrive next week :banana:

 

Did you go for the 1tb versions?

 

I couldn't find them
I'll step up once they're released

 

I found a single rx360 triple was enough for an oc that I have now with the 690 and my old x58 at 4ghz. I had the rad on the back of the antec 1200 and the temps were amazing low. I used to have an mcr320 as well but id imagine that would have struggled with cpu and gpu with big overclocks.

You could attach another to the back of your rear case fan externally using a radbox or koolance klamp. Rad box is much cheaper and works perfectly. I don't know whether the had can route tubing through the back, my old antec had pre bore holes as stock so wasn't a problem. Temps see much much lower with rad outside the case as well.

 

Just got mine today. Gaming well and it stays cool. Msi logo lights up as well. Nice!!

 

Mine's arrived today as well.

I'm in awe!
Arma III is playable when maxed and it just looks jaw dropping!

 

So ive delayed too long thinking about this and the MSI 970 Gaming is no longer in stock at Scan.

Guess i'll have to wait till next week now

Gives me more time to look at different models. Ive ruled out the eVGA ACX versions due to coil whine (as they dont use upgraded circuitry like Asus Strix and MSI gaming).
Gigabyte G1 Gaming looks ok, but id be more confident with an MSI card i think.
Asus Strix has no memory cooling and is more expensive thsn others.

Only other custom edition in stock at moment is the Palit Jetsteam, but i dont really know anything about this card or its cooler.

 

Do you guy find Zotec, Galax and inno3d available in your country?

How are they doing now? i heard inno3d and galaxy long time ago but can't find any review of them now.

When i get my Gigabyte 970.. only have these choice. don't have Asus,Msi in stock..

Also, i heard from people from Taiwan, Their Evga, Msi 980 came with gaming mouse and muse pad and i get nothing

 

any chance you could measure the cardlength for me? from the connector side (without the protruding dvi port and the angle for the screws) to the other end of the card where the power ports are located, including the fan housing that sticks out a bit further.

 

Got my MSI 970 today and overclocked to 1500/8000 but my score is only 11386 which is strange considering my 3770k is at 4.6ghz as well.

 

Whats your gpu score

 

13405

 

Hi guys just got mine home,i went to portsmouth on my bike all the way from aylesbury buckinghamshire to the novatech store mine came with a mouse pad also,and to the guys the lenth is about 11.5 inches,How do i upload pics ?

 

A peddle bike? That's like a 200 mile round trip!

 

Hahahahaha no its a kawasaki er6n 650 thank god was worth it
