I'm planning on buying a GTX 980 and I'm not going to use liquid cooling so I wanna know which one of the many 980 have the best cooling, if I was to buy the 3-fan one I would have to change my case too since the one I own now is a bit too small (I think). And if the 3-fan one has the best cooling tell me what case is worth buying. Thank you in advance.

They're pretty cool cards tbh the windforce and hof would probably give you the lowest temps

Most cards are pretty cool, the G1 or the tri X might be the coolest but unless you want to oc a lot then it usually doesn't matter.

i think it would be worth it to get the msi 980 or the evga 980 sc or the evga 980 ftw edition and the hof 980 card is pretty good but i heard its terrible for overclocking but if ur not overclocking then its a cool card but if ur color scheme isnt white or isnt black and red then theresd no point to go with the msi card or the hof card, ur best pick would be the evga 970 sc or the ftw edition
