Face2Face

Your cooler will probably keep up at 1.30v-1.325v. I'm using the V1 version of that cooler and I have mine @ 1.325v
 
Most people will tell you 1.3v.

It's certainly not meaningless, but doesn't determine how well your card will OC.

GPUs don't output as much heat as CPUs?  So a 250w TDP Video card doesn't put out as much heat as a 77w CPU? You sure about that? 
 
To the OP, I would just grab a blower style fan and be done with it. While I like the G10, and have owned one before, I think it's not worth the hassle unless you plan on doing some heavy overclocking. Additionally, I have put a 240MM on my GPU, but the difference isn't much, because a 120mm is enough for most single GPUs.

I'd wait until the final product is release to make your final judgment. I don't think it looks bad at all, and it just sits inside your case anyway. 

Still have mine..
 
 
I never owned a 3870X2, but loved my 3870. Very cool card.

Also, if anyone wants to play Indie games on their TV, this is a great little stick. Awesomenaughts, Castle Crashers, Limbo, Nidhogg, BattleBlock Theater, Rouge Legacy, EvoLand and more are all playable at either 1080p or 720p. Also, Minecraft is playable at 720p, even more so with the Optifine mod. Also, source games, such as Portal 2, HL and HL2 are all playable @ 720p as well.
 
The Z3735F SOC has a Baytrail based ATOM CPU @ 1.33GHz and boosts to 1.83GHz. The Intel HD graphics are Gen 7, so based off of the Ivy Bridge Intel HD graphics with 4 EUs. All of this with an SDP of 2.2w and a TDP of 4W - 4W is shared with evertyhing (CPU/GPU/etc...)
 
The newer CherryTrail SOC, has very similar CPU performance, albeit with higher clock speeds, but the biggest difference is it's Broadwell based Intel HD graphics. It's faster CPC and has more EUs as well. I hope to see these released very soon, as the Surface 3 is the only product that has them now (As far as I know)

This is a better review than the crappy video with Luke doing a bad job at reading a spec sheet and repeating himself for 5 minutes... Like we didn't understand the fact that an HDMI can be plugged into a TV the first time.
 
LTT has largely evolved from interesting and informative tech videos from the past years to now a large number of frankly disgusting videos where we see a poorly done video with no real content. I could learn more about the compute stick in 2 minutes from Intel's website than I did in 5 with this glorified crap.
 
The first 30 seconds is taken over by Luke making jokes that aren't funny at all. (Hence the large number of dislikes on the video)
 
I just re-watched the video and found that luke reminded us it's a computer on a stick 5 times and that you can plug it into an HDMI port 8 times... If you're gonna beg for likes at least throw some tests into the video rather than 5 minutes of rambling that anyone over the age of 13 could rectally derive in 20 minutes. Too much of Luke saying "I don't think it could blank" Did anyone even use the compute stick? Who knows because I doubt Luke did.
 
 
PS: Brandon's B-roll skills are the only thing that isn't shit in this video.

Repost http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/368999-witcher-3-benchmarks-holy-balls-this-game-is-demanding/Sorry, but could you maybe search a round before posting please? It was at the top of the news section.

No absolutely not worth it.  A 980 is slightly faster than a 780Ti before overclocking.  (After overclocking it's maybe 10% faster)
 
The only single slot cards that would provide a significant upgrade are the TitanX, TitanZ or 295x2.  The hypothetical 390x may also be another option.
 
To be honest, you easily have another year or two of life left in that card.  I would atleast wait to see how the 390x stacks up against the TitanX.
 
 

Not worth it in my opinion. As your venerable Titan is very strong already. I would personally look to overclocking if you wanted more performance as the Titan can have a whole whack-tonne of performance gained for free due to it's extremely underpowered factory clock settings and the denial of AIB partners to ship the card overclocked at all.
With water the GK110 Titan is an absolute monster, you'd be looking to pay a lot of money for not much more performance. The 980 would be a slight bump, but not a large one. Also I'd take a Titan any day over a 970's neutered and locked GM204 chip.

Thanks bruh

Most definitely. I ran the Accelero at 100% fan speed while gaming, and it's still super quiet. Anyway, good luck!

Cheers for clarification...
I was thinking originally this was the case... as I have a Kraken G10 and saw these 4 holes and thats all I needed to mount it..
Just wanted to make sure..

Nope, reference PCB is not needed. The only holes the G10 uses is the four around the GPU (square) and the G10 bracket has three size settings, so it should work on nearly every late model GPU.

Try another game or run a series of benchmarks and post your results; monitor your card with Afterburner to see what's going on. You're a PC Gamer, not a "Peasant" as you say, do some trouble shooting, it comes with the territory...

It's all about the minimums... 

Yes.

Stop saying this, it doesn't become more true the more you repeat it. Minimum framerate is the most important aspect of smooth gameplay, and this is predominantly determined by the CPU.

There's no such thing as "too much for X resolution". There's always ways you can improve visuals.

I'm confused as well. The temperature limit for a GTX 970 is 80c and then it throttles. Even raising the temperature limit within AB or precision X shouldn't work.

I don't have much experience with the newer Maxwell cards, so I don't know how hot the VRMs get. Perhaps my previous experience with High VRM temps causing instability is getting the best of me when it comes to Maxwell. 
 
BTW -  your wording
 
vram = GDDR5 memory modules
VRM= Voltage regulator module - composed of GPU, memory, and PLL phases. 

No doubt it will put out heat with a TDP of 300w, but I doubt AMD will make the same mistake again with the cooler. Them using an AIO is highly likely.

What's your budget? I wouldn't recommend buying a GTX 980 now, as they performance/price ratio isn't very good.  

If you really need triple DP go for a gtx 970. Don't even consider a 980, it's horridly overpriced. If you wanted to spend so much on a gpu you should get an R9 295X2, has all the DP you want and will wipe the floor with a 980 in terms of performance.
