For anyone wanting that card it is available on a website called Frys. I don't think their STORES are nationwide but I believe the website is. The have the ACX 2.0 and the SC Reference card. Gonna be here Monday along with my other parts! Can't wait since this will be my first ever graphics card and real build. All my other PCs had integrated graphics and just weren't good. Here are my specs: NZXT Phantom 410 White i7-4790K (Will OC) ASUS Z97-AR EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0 SC Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB @ 1866 MHz Corsair H105 CPU Cooler (Bought SP Series fans to replace the stock fans) Random 700W power supply (May be Thermaltake I don't remember since I bought it in a Frys store along with my MOBO, CPU and HDD) Western Digital Black 2TB Samsung 840 EVO 250GB Windows 7 Professional (A friend of my Dad has it) So for my first REAL PC I'd say it's pretty good

Yes, Fry's was the only Retail Store I found that had quantity in stock (still do) and also would allow me to buy four EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0 Graphics Cards for my New 4-Way SLI System.

Have you overclocked them at all? A bit hard to see on the picture.

No, This was the first Bench I made with them and they are running at the Default Stock Clocks.....1266/1367MHz Boost.  P.S., You can Copy the Photo and blow it up in Windows Photo Viewer.

1500 is easy to get, i settled on 1541/8004 for my 24/7 oc, with a conservative fan profile none-the-less/1

Woooah really? I'll shoot for maybe 1524. You appear to have won the Silicon Lottery sir.
And can you possibly tell me how to make a fan profile to keep it cool?

well not really, if you follow the mega thread on overclock.net 1500 is pretty much the norm! i only added like +112 iirc to the sc base clock. also now that we can flash modded bios' should open up a little more, still no voltage tweaking at the moment, but increas.ing the power target is where it is at since the tdp has been the limit up til this point. as im constantly hitting the 125% wall. while watching gpuz sensors itll boost to 1588 then power target hits 124.8-125.6 and throttles down to 1515-1540. as for fan profile, just keep adjusting the high end of the temp spectrum to what you will allow as far as temps/noise you can handle!

Hey man, how is your noise level with 4 ACX 2.0? I have 3 of them and they are hot and fan are spinning fast, and making some noise. Can you share your stable OC settings with me please?

Actually, On That First Bench Run they still had the Stock ACX Air Coolers on them in 4-Way SLI, and They sounded probably Just as Loud and Hot as Your's were, But if you remember I made a comment on my posts when I bought them that you should run them using water cooling? I reached those High Overclocks by "Temporarily Modifying" the GTX 980 ACX 2.0's for use with my Chilled Water Cooler at around 63F/17C water Temps using some individual GPU Water Blocks I had on a previous Testing/Benching Rig to see how well they would operate before I spend a lot of $$$ on four EK 980 reference PCB Water Blocks that probably won't fit the GTX 980 Classified Non-Reference PCB Cards anyway.

I'm waiting on the mailman to drop off a couple of NZXT Kraken G10 brackets and Corsair H55 AIO coolers for my EVGA GTX 970s. The total price is less than one EK waterblock, plus I don't have to wait 6 months for one to come out and then finding out its not compatible with my specific card.
