I picked up the EVGA 980 Ti ACX 2.0+, Superclocked, with Back Plate. The card overclocks really well. I settled on +110 on the core, which in most games boosts to an even 1400MHz on the Core. I raised the memory just a bit as well (+100MHz in Precision X). I raised the Power to 110% and Temp to 91C (linked) to allow for maximum headroom. I've not seen the core go higher than 78C even after hours of gaming, and fan hovers around 1600RPM. The fan is audible at this level, but nothing I would call remotely close to loud. It's more of a pleasant low whoosh sound.

The card is quiet, has great lighting on the side (I am sucker for seeing the model name in lights!).

This is my setup. I wanted to ask, anyone having issues with second card light is a bit weaker than the top ? I know it shouldn't be a big deal.. but just asking...

Here's my setup.

Here's mine with UV Lights and a Corsair H110i GT push/pull exhaust up top and two 980ti Hybrid radiators up front in push/pull intake:

Some shots of my second mount on the second classified (one with NZXT X31). I do not recommend NZXT X31 over H55. My H55 with single fan gets the card to 55 C tops whereas, NZXT gets the card to 61 C. Was a hassle to mount the radiator. Tried everything and settled for the sub par option of next to HDDs.

Nice setup. I've been looking for a closed loop water cooling solution for my system I'm running 3 980Ti's tripple SLI and my idle temps are hang around 42C for my first card, 38C for my second and usually 35C for my 3rd card. I'm looking at the NZXT and the Corsair HG10. The NZXT looks a little tight in SLI configuration though. I have a Large case. Silverstone TJ11 so I have lots of mounting options. The HG10 however seeems very hard to find. I haven't found a retailer yet who sales it.
