You can get Zotac and Palit versions for cheaper with the simple blower cooler. Same performance.

I heard that some users of reference cards complaining of the loud fan noise and sometimes coil whine even not in full load.

Coil whine seems to affect every brand to some extent.

The reference blowers are a bit louder, but not too bad.

If you want best silent function (remember no card can offer zero silence) get the MSI GTX 970 Gaming with Twin Frozer V Cooling Tech.

If you're looking for "best bang for the buck" in your region, get the Zotac Amp! Omega card, which offers pretty decent cooling with acceptable silent function and comes with unmatched 5 year warranty.
