Asus GTX 970 Strix

[Cuso]

I was wondering about the Asus GTX 970 Strix if it's a good card compare to the others like the Gigabyte, EVGA, and MSI. I ordered mine on Thursday there's a lot of good and bad reviews on it compare to the others and there are a few saying that the fans are really loud is that true? I know I can just change it on GPU tweak to a lower fan speed but is there anything I have to worry about the card?

You don't have to worry about anything, the card will run cool and quiet, even at stock fan speed.

I am completely happy with my Strix. On default fan setting, the fans do not even come on till 60C!! I use MSI Afterburner and get my fans to come on gradually at 40C. On my fan profile the card never goes above 65C. The Strix is not as long as the Gigabyte card if your case is not that big. Very impressed with the build quality, and I have been owners of all three manufacturers in the past. Th Strix card is also supposed to go past 1450MHz clock rate if you and your card are willing.
