Good point, If you want to watercool, Its a lot easier to take the reference cooler and stick a corsair HG10

full watercooling loop for me.

Reference cards are sexy AF. Like, GTX 480 ES? CREAM.

Titan X has same TDP and temps like a 980Ti.

 

Both are 86C at normal ambient temperature, so +95C during summer.

I can tell you this right now, its at least 17C down here, its ice.

compared to literately any other place,

Its a huge temp difference, and yes my CPU is warmer then my room

Non-reference unless I plan on watercooling right away, then reference tends to be the better option since it is easier to find waterblocks

End goal right there.

We have central air on...

Also, if you didn't know the deeper you get into the earth, the cooler it gets, If I moved to some place like Cali, My overclocks would break, So hard.

Since I am the only one here, No one ever closes the vents, Heat rises cool air does not.

The deeper you go wuttt?? So why is it so hot here (26C inside, +30 outside) when I life UNDER sea level?

 

Anyways, this topic is pretty pointless imo, we already know the answer...

I think the reference cards look pretty jazzy usually, but it would depend on the price and the performance as to if I would prefer it over a non reference.
