coolest gtx 980 question

Go to solution Solved by Necrodead,

The 980 runs pretty cool as it is and you probably don't need to worry but I think the Gigabyte windforce and zotac cards are coolest, however if you are going for a single card most people would reccommend the 980 ti, its only a tiny bit more expensive and is quite a bit faster.

hey guys 

 

So i am about to purchase a GTX 980 tomorrow , originally i was going go with the evga GTX980 superclocked version with the reference design but i'm a little scared of how hot the card will run under full load while gaming. I've had problems in the past with parts overheating and dying or not living out its full life span. I've been upgrading my build over the past few months i have a i7 4790k with corsair h100i cooling it and it is  inside of the new nzxt noctis 450 case and the last upgrade i will be making is the gpu.

 

So my question is what version of the gtx 980 runs the coolest  under load
