So basically it sounds like the Windforce is the best because everyone says it's got the best cooler and it's quite and to avoid EVGA because of the heatsink issues and blah blah blah. But what if I was planning on watercooling? What would be the best card that I could get the best overclock out of in a water cooling loop? Is there a card that overclocks better than others? I leaning more towards EVGA because that's what the new record was broken on (granted it was with liquid nitrogen) but I'm not sure if the brand matters much at the point they're overclocking at. So yeah which brand is best? And for that brand, would it be better to get say a gigabyte windforce over the reference card or would they both end up overclocking the same when watercooled?
TL;DR: Best GTX 980 for overclocking *when watercooled
