I love the G1's. I don't know why other people get anything else when they are as far as I know always the fastest and look good . Im hoping to get a 980ti G1 maybe a 980 we will see. Luckily I just took out one drive pay holding 3 drives and it will fit right in. And i still have 5 internal hard drives lol.
Ya I am loving this card. It hardly goes above 60 degrees unless it is a very intensive game then it has never gone above 70. It boosts usually up to 1534MHz but I have seen it go up to 1573 once. That is with no voltage adjustments at all and +112% power. The card has almost no coil whine but I have heard on occasion but was faint, the fans are not nearly as loud as everyone claims they are, yet still audible and I have an aggressive curve. I did wish the LED's changed colour, the further parts of the backplate were more rigid, and they should've added a manual dual bios switch rather than the different ports have different bios' nonsense, but I am very happy overall. I really want to purchase an Enthoo series case though just for those beautiful looks. Not sure between the Pro or Luxe.
EDIT: Ok so I just googled the Phanteks Pro on Amazon just to browse and it was $130 with 5 dollar shipping compared to $150 with 25 dollar shipping on newegg so the grand total came to 150 as opposed to 195. I honestly hardly even remember what happened from when I saw that total to now with a receipt and tracking number for the case.
