It looks pretty solid. I just have to say i'm not a fan of the 970's right now. I am not too sure about the MSI brand, but I have the EVGA 970 ftw card and that thing screams when I play games. By scream, i mean the coil while is insane. I run tests on it and it seems like the card can't handle...

The top of the case holds 140mm fans. and the fans on the 212 are 120 mm. So it should be able to fit. you will just want to measure the dimensions on the 212 and on the case just to be 100% sure.

your build doesn't show up on the link. it is a blank list. Maybe just list the parts.

How do you know that they upgraded their board?

So no one has any actual complaints about the coil whine? or a fix for it?

haha, well I have asked EVGA. I talked to one of the guys there and he actually just started noticing the coil whine on his 970. But he has had it for over a year. So I a having huge doubts. And the 970 way outperforms the 770. So why wouldn't I step up to the 970 when it barely costs me...

Hello Tom's Community, Does anyone know if the EVGA 970 FTW graphics card still have the terrible coil whine to it? I read that EVGA fixed this problem but I am not too sure. I also read that the coil whine was directly related to have extremely high frame rates in older games, and if you cap...

yeah, according the benchmarks, it is an amazing card. My buddy from work just got his in the mail today. I'll see what his conclusion about the card once he test's it and I will get back to you guys. and yes, the step up program has been around for a while. They may someday add a different...

it is a pre-enclosed pump. I don't add the liquid.

but is the acx 1.0 cooler even worth it even thought it doesn't work too good and it is very loud? they won't step me up to an acx 2.0 cooler.

ok, well evga will only swap my 770 with the 970 with the acx 1.0 cooler. I think that is pretty messed up. so at this point, i may just stick with the 770, unless i can convince newegg to let me exchange it.

is it really that bad? the cooler is the only complaint I am getting about it

well I can't get an MSI, i have to stick with EVGA because it is through their Step Up program. I have 90 days to swap out my card for another one. I bought the 770 a little over a month ago.

hmm... i'm not a big fan of noise. Other that a high pitch mosquito wine coming from my liquid cooled cpu cooler (which I am in the process of replacing), my computer is silent. I recently got a noctua fan to replace my radiator fan. and according to this site (...
