nzxt G10 on the 970

[ProjectX01]

so i'm thinking of buying the nzxt g10 for my gtx 970

 

it's a palit 970 jetstream, and im wondering if anyone else has tried it? is it cooler? if so by how much? my card sits at 39-40 at idle and about 70-80 under load.

Anything water cooled would be cooler then that cooler. So yes, it would be "cooler"

Not sure if it's compatible. Doesn't look like a reference board. I could be wrong though.

dang, wish someone has tried it so they can tell me.

Yeah same here

and by how much it depends on what all in one cooler you get, Kraken x61 would cool better then a x41 but no matter what I would say at least 15-45% cooler

i can't see how that is getting up to 80c under load. even if it is that is pretty normal temps for a gpu, so i won't worry about it. water on a 970 is very overkill

i actually live in the philippines. andddd it's pretty hot here ambient temp is on most days 37° at night about 30-34°

even so, unless it getting over 80c then its fine. you can set a more aggressive fan profile in msi afterburner if you wanted to keep it a bit cooler

i actually run it at about 70-80% load when gaming. at a 100% it gets quite noisy.

that is surprising. 

the G10 is capatible as long as its a reference pcb

here is the list

Nvidia : GTX 980, 970, 780 Ti, 780, 770, 760, Titan, 680, 670, 660Ti, 660, 580, 570, 560Ti, 560, 560SE
