EVGA GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0 - questions & overclocking

[pwentrys]

Hi everyone, after a RMA my GTX 780 SC ACX, EVGA will send GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0 (without +). So, my questions in this case it's;

What's the diffrence beetwen this GPU and SSC ACX 2.0+? (in detail)
I'm going to overclocking this GPU and i don't know is worth to do that? (cause it's a replacement)
I can't find enough reviews this video card, so i'm not sure how to overclock.

+100 on the core
+400 on the memory
(without upped a voltage)

It should work with that? I know, it's a max for version with "+" (more or less).
Well, maybe i should try for lower clocks?

I'm really sorry for my english vocabulary and grammar. I don't have too much time for write this post more correctly.
I'm not from England or USA (either other english countries) and basically i'm still a kid.

I see now the ssc 2.0 was sold and I found one at a old newegg link but it seems there discontinued. the thing with it was the first ones had a goofed cooler like this

then they re done that to plate like this

but now that scc 2.0 has been replaced with the ssc 2.0+ with the upgrades parts

so they must be sending you a discontinued card to replace the one you sent in ??? the cards part number would be a lot of help on the one your getting

like -- 04G-P4-2972-KR

I had a GTX 780 SC ACX.
I overclocked this GPU and something went wrong then i sent my GPU to EVGA
EVGA sent GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0 for replacement to previous video card.

It's a : 04G-P4-2975-KR

seems like they treated you fair .. theres nothing but referb's in them 780 cards anyway and you will more them likely get a ''new'' but discontinued card with that 970

I would think that in its self a plus for you

when you get the card register it at evga and all the go to there forums and ask there guys about the overclocking

myself I don't overclock new cards I wait until I'm ready to replace them then oc to get what I can before I order a new card . like you said why risk a brand new card with a bad oc that ruins the new card ??? [opinion] but to each his own I guess

I would think that 970 should do all you want right out of the box ??

"I would think that 970 should do all you want right out of the box ??"

How am I supposed to understand?

 

[junkeymonkey]

as in the 970 card should not need to be overclocked at all then why risk your new card with a overclock and end up like your 780 did ???

like I said go to evga's forum and ask there guys on whats best to do ?? I don't like giving oc advice seeing it at your own risk kind of thing
