Have some concerns about the GTX 980 Ti Hybrid

[hersheythebar]

Hey guys so i'm interested in buying this (quite expensive) card and have heard alot about how the temps on the stock 980 Ti can get very high, so im interested in the hybrid version. All in all I have heard good reviews but I have had bad experiences with stock water-coolers in the past (pumps stop working etc.) and was wondering if anyone in here has any input on the reliability or quality of this cooling system. Thanks for your time! Also, the temps on the stock 980 Ti can max at 86 C, is this a safe temperature?

I wouldn't worry about the quality of the hybrid 980ti card as its a quality all in one. 86c is a safe temperature but is far from ideal. Hybrid won't exceed 50c under full load.

Thanks for the fast response. So what you're saying is that the quality of the entire card including cooler isn't anything to worry about and I should purchase it?

I would buy it. I ended with acx 2.0 one since Hybrid wasn't available.

^ I agree. I really wanted the hybrid card at the time of release, but I lost patience and opted for an air cooled model.
