Posted July 14, 2018 FE has terrible, noisy cooling. My 1070 FTW2 (i assume has the same cooler as yours) is the exact opposite.

Posted July 14, 2018 Generally you don't buy Founders' Edition cards unless you're replacing the shroud for use in custom watercooling PCs, blower styles are notorious for being a lot louder and hotter than custom shroud graphics cards. So the FTW2 will do much nicer in gaming particularly in temperatures. mechanical keyboard switches aficionado & hi-fi audio enthusiast switch reviews • how i lube mx-style keyboard switches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
