My zotax 980ti AMP! is amazing i dont even hear it. Never above 70C and it has a high OC with + voltage.

At idle fans dont run, its an amazing cooler.

I've got a Zotac AMP! Extreme edition and I couldn't recommend it highly enough. It stays passive playing games like Fallout 3, New Vegas and even Skyrim. Never goes about 66 degrees and the fan usually hovers at around 40-50% in demanding games. 

 

My stock boost clock without any overclocking was 1430MHz core 7220MHz memory.

 

After Overclocking I'm able to run 1515MHz core and 8220MHz memory clock stable but with +87mV on the core and 111% power limit.

Do you plan on watercooling ?

I'd guess not considering he asked about how effective the fans are on the coolers of their respective graphics cards.

Performance will be identical. The zotac is a much much bigger cooler, which from your point of view is either a huge plus or minus and that point of view (assuming same price) literally should be your only thought.

The AMP extreme seems to be the best 980Ti right now, topping most FPS charts, quietest, lowest temps and beast overclocking. However, it does have a huge triple slot cooler, so it depends if your build can accommodate the card. 

 

The Amp extreme does cost a little more than the gaming 6G, depending on where you live. So it's up to you to decide whether the 2-3 FPS difference is worth the $$$.
