EVGA Precision X maxes out at 106% but the OSD reports them hitting 115%.

At +215 MHz both cards seem to overclock to 1480's no problem but usually throttle down to about ~1440 under sustained load, presumably due to power restriction?.Still MUCH less annoying low speed than the EVGA GTX 670 that I still have nightmares about.Fan is very quiet at idle/desktop speeds but not inaudible like my Titan and 780Ti were.The blower shroud feels cheap and plasticy and bendy when you hold it.PCB is very short, much shorter than the cooler, just like the old 670 reference design.I got my two PNY blower cards in today and I'm very happy with them! Some initial thoughts: Better acoustic and/or cooling performance is always welcome over some nebulous benefit that "military grade" components bring to the table anyway. The fan speed ramps up far more smoothly and the heatsink is beefier. EVGA's GTX 970 that reuses the GTX 670 PCB and cooling solution). If my system required a blower card for whatever reason, the MSI cards I mentioned are the ones to go for: the GTX 980 reference heatsink is undoubtedly better than many of the other blowers based on older reference designs (i.e. The real differentiation factor here will be the cooling solution. Most GTX 970 blowers are very bare bones and there's not much you can do about this. If better components and more robust power delivery are essential, you unfortunately have few choices. Performance doesn't seem to be an issue with the low end either since EVGA's (awful) offerings are still hitting 1400-1500mhz reliably. Blowers based on reference designs also have benefit of actually cooling the entire card well, unlike many aftermarket cards on the market seemingly skimping on VRM or RAM cooling. Remember that we're talking about Maxwell and not Hawaii.

Sure they're probably not packing "military grade" components but they won't be packing absolute rubbish that will explode.
