Binned 980Ti with Reference PCB

Hey guys, 

I am looking to upgrade to a 980Ti and water cool it using the HG10 and a H80i GT. I would obviously like to get the most out of the card, so I am looking for a good chip. Naturally the factory overclocked versions seem the first choice, but I was wondering if there are any that are binned. Since I am using an HG10, it would have to have a reference PCB though  :wacko:

 

Any Ideas/Advice are welcome :)

No reference cards are binned like the level of a classy or KPE or smoething along those lines so there goes your hope of a good chip. average 980ti's are gonna do 1480-1500 on the core for reference cards.

For reference, the best binning is binning done manually..

say 50 bucks and you do it for me? :P So order 10 cards and test them 1 by 1? send back 9, keep 1. Not sure If I am comfortable with that xD

 

I just realized the HG10 for 980x isn't available yet anyways.... -.-

... Maybe I'm dated, but when I looped my 2500K and 670 back in the day it was only around $350. Yikes. I haven't gone custom in quite a while.

I was thinking to get a custom loop for the CPU instead of AiO solution so it can be easily expanded if I wish to, otherwise I will have to throw my AiO cooler away which is a waste, so, I went on EKWB to see how much it will cost me, the price gone up to 410 euros only for the CPU very quickly...

 

I think I will stick to AiO for now... :)
