Anyone got this GTX 970, if so how hot does it run and how loud?

My MSI card gets to about 60 or less while playing GTA and I think it idles at around 40. I usually boost the fans up to 100 when I have my overclock, but while playing GTA, they automate to ~50%.

 

Oh I missed "this card". It might run a bit hotter and louder than my MSI card, so idk maybe 40 idle and then get to around 70.

well it is a blower style so it will be pretty loud

What is the name of the gpu?

ASUS GTX 970 TURBO OC

It's a blower style so it will be loud and mildly hot i would guess maybe about 60-70 degrees

Well it's the only worth while GPU upgrade that fit's in my budget vs 390's too, i am going Z97 with a 4690k too so..

I have this coller on my 960. Well it works, but it is pretty loud during load.

Damn, the next GPU up from this is the R9 390 DD XFX, which is a good card but it OC's badly.

It is indeed pretty loud, but if you are doing any sort of activity that would produce sound while wearing a headset, you will not hear it. I can barely hear it with just the headset on, and if there is any sort of music, gunshots or teamspeak, I cannot hear it at all. I love the temps, clocked at 1516 core and 7908 (Stable in benchmarks, not in games) will give me a max temp of around 65 degrees in Valley and 70 in Heaven. However, I do not have a single fan in my system so it sure as hell is possible to go lower. Any other questions?

I managed to get a 4670k for 150, so i can bump up to the MSI GAMING 390 now.

Well, this is a blower style cooler. Its going to be loud, hot and annoying compared to aftermarket coolers. If you can deal with that then get it. Or if you have a SFF build it would be great for that as well. The trade off is lower temps for components in exchange for noise and heat on the core.

I do not know about hot, but it is loud when the fans ramp up.

It does typically run warmer than aftermarket if you run the fans like you would an aftermarket card. 50% fan speed on a blower and 50% fan speed on an aftermarket card (in comparison) would result in 10c lower temp on aftermarket. (Just an example.) That's what I noticed when I had a reference 980 Ti before I watercooled it.

I have the EVGA 970 with the ACX 2.0 cooler. The fan gets audible once it's over 40% (audible is too much for me; I need silent) temps gets to around 75C with the auto fan profile which is very passive (usually never goes above 35%).

That makes a lot more sense now. But if you are willing to sacrifice the silence, this card will not run hot

Especially the VRMs. Since they are located after the main heatsink (which has NO heatpipes) they reach 100*C easily. At 120*C (extended gaming sessions) they start throttling. But that takes a good 4-5 hours.
