EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+
vs
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0

2.0+ has Heat Pipes
2.0+ is clocked at 1.19

2.0 is clocked at 1.17
2.0 has a quieter and longer lifespan fans

Both are the same price.

Which is better?
Heat Pipes or longer lifespan fans?
I will be using my rig for the years to come :)

In my opinion, Heat Pipes sounds more convenient.
 
Solution
Buy the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+

EVGA made a lot of improvements on that card, in order to better manage heat dissipation during overclocking. For sure, get that the SSC, which by the way, stands for Super Superclocked.

Addendum: My recommendation still stands, but here is video showing the new heat pipe design of the SSC.
