On the hunt for gtx 970 (Does anyone have the Inno3D iChill Air Boss?)

[emerill]

Hey, so as the thread name says I'm curious if anyone have purchased the gtx 970 Inno3D iChill Air Boss edition or have any information about it? Does it use the reference PCB?
This is the card: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-041-IN&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1010
Kinda headbanging my head right now on which card I prefer to most from all the GTX 970 variants lol...
Feel free to comment or give ideas

Yes, I watched everything possible in the net about the card. But there are very few proper reviews. Which are actually mainly for the 980 version. Kitguru got it. Thanks for the fast response tho.

why that particular card?

 

[emerill]

I'm just asking about this card if someone have any information or actually owns it. I already watched about 123213 reviews of the other brands.
For now I'm stuck between Asus strix/MSI/G1. And I know that the Strix is the lowest OC+lowest noise. MSI is the medium in terms of OC+noise, and the G1 is just best for OC. The 900 series will be quite though to choose lol.

yeah i know what youre saying. but i'd take a "professional's" review on a product over some potential schmuck on a forum anyways. if you already read and watched all the reviews what are you hung up on?

 

[emerill]

But as I said feel free to give ideas.

Well, I can't decide which GPU to get to be honest. That's why I'm checking other cards too

 

[emerill]

EVGA FTW looks good too, but it looks like the noisy variant of all. Mostly stuck because of the Noise/Coil whine/OC. Otherwise I think would go for the Asus.

id go with it, because it looks an absolute monster... if i was buying a gpu this gen, would be my personal choice

ischill gtx 970 uses ref PCB so not an overclocking monster (1470MHz is probably the best stable you can get). For overclocking you`re better off with Gigabyte G1.

But ichill gtx 970 is 55 Celsium under load. Best temps for gtx 970 out there.
You might want to take off the metal shielding to allow more air in, thus reducing temps and noise even further.

Ordered one myself since I`m not an overclocking enthusiast.
