Hi all,

Do the standard nvidia coolers perform as quietly as after market coolers and as effectively when the core is not overclocked?

To give some context, I have been looking at the Palit Super Jetstream and the Palit OC for about £165 and £150 respectively. I saw a graph showing that the Jetstream is practically silent whilst under load. As max noise is relatively important to me, I was wondering how quietly the standard OC will operate, or whether the extra £15 could easily be justified.

Many thanks in advance

No. Custom coolers are better. The reference coolers are hot and noisy compared to them.

If you're worried about noise then pay the extra 15 quid.
