If you dont like the strix, the MSI TFV is the next best as it also has a fan that doesnt spin until it reaches 60C.

Gigabyte g1 gaming and windforce are pretty quiet under load, though their fans stay on when idle so they will be a little louder than something such as the strix or acx 2.0

How to have a quite 980:

Notcua NH-D15

Cheapest 980.

1. Remove the cooler.

2. Place NH-D15 with a ghetto mod.

3. Place in.

4. it's quite.

Pro's:

Awesome temps.

Cons:

Snapped PCI-E bracket.

A watercooled 980 would be the quietest.

Asus/msi/gigabyte for air cooled cards

I'll give you a little measurment chart that i found in a hardware news magazine:

 

Card: idle/load (%fan speed); measurement unit is Sone

 

MSI Gaming: 0,0/ 1,6 (59%)

EVGA Superclocked 0,0/ 2,1 (32%)

Zotac AMP! Omega 0,2 (33%)/ 2,0 (59%)

Gainward Super jetstream 0,0/ 1,4 (54%)

Gainward Phantom 0,2 (30%)/ 2,6 (69%)

Asus Strix 0,0/ 2,2 (50%)

980 Reference: 0,4 v(26%)/ 3,8 (58%)

 

don't exactly know how the measurments were taken but i guess something like 1 m away from a testbench.

 

The Strix is relativeley quiet, however the GTX 970 strix is 0,7 Sone at load, which is much much quieter. So really, choose whichever you like.

who cares...
