Quietest GTX 970

[ChrisTheShark]

so i need a quiet gpu and these are the ones im stuck between 

which one is quieter?

- reference gtx 970

or

- zotac amp extreme gtx 970

 

also will the zotac amp extreme fit in the bitfenix pandora

Obviously a non-reference will be quieter.

Strix 970 for the quietest but for middle ground Gigabyte G1 is good as well 

 

 

From those chioces definitely,not the reference one

Oh yeah?? MSI Gaming 4G. Beats the Strix in almost every sense, including price and silence. Source here.

But aesthetically,it kills my eyes becasue it don't have a plate

I'd get a ASus Strix, Cheap & Quiet

The Strix is pretty damn quiet. I can confirm this, as I'm using it right now.

 

On other thoughts; coil whine is not. Your going to hear it on any 970 when you hit extremely high FPS.
