Best Brand for GTX 570 SLI

[Ooooops]

As the title of the thread states, which brand would you suggest best for GTX 570 in SLI.

TIA!

The first question for you is, how good is the airflow in your case? If its not so good, then look at the reference models for externally exhausting fans. If you have pretty good airflow inside your case, then feel free to explore some of the models with aftermarket cooling.

I would have to say, given the options, I would go with a pair of the MSI Twin Frozr III's.

EVGA for any model. Top quality, lifetime warranty and real live people to talk to.

 

[Warmacblu]

MSI or eVGA. I would recommend the MSI card over the eVGA one because of the superb cooler and hearty overclock / improved PCB.

 

[toneekay]

+1 for MSI as well...

2 fans are better than 1.

I say EVGA for the external exhaust. I'd take an MSI for a single card, but this one for SLI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130593
or the Superclocked for slightly higher binning: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130595

Best brand is Evga. their customer service is unbeatable. I remember having a 7950gt that went bad after 2 yrs. I never checked the warranty or anything but Evga took it and gave me a new equivalent without any issue whatsoever. Now that doesn't mean they are the best bang for buck.

Best cards under GTX 570 are asus DCU2 or MSI twin Frozer 3 or Gigabyte windforce or sparkle triple fan card

Oh yeah, I forgot about those; I kept picturing the HD version (with the fan in the middle).

I'd still rather have 2 fans over 1 though...

Msi twinfrozr 570 and an evga 570. Put the twinfrozr card on the bottom and the evga one on the top.

You could skip the SLI route and just buy one Radeon 7970. It would a lot faster then 2 570's in SLI mode.

 

[joemama069]

Just like everyone else has said. Either the evga, or the MSI twin frozer

What? No.

Are you sure about that?

It might only be a small sample but SLi'd 570's kick the crap out of a single 7970.

Msi twinfrozr 570 and an evga 570. Put the twinfrozr card on the bottom and the evga one on the top.

Meh. The issue with SLI is having too much hot air inside the case. One card spewing heat around will make life harder for the other one, EE or not.

I have a 1c degree difference between my cards when they are running flatout whilst folding and about 5c with with the bottom card idling.

 

[kajabla]

What's the model?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Palit Sonics, does that make a difference?

 

[kajabla]

Not EE, then. OK, sounds legit. Frozrs may be the way to go.

 

[JackNaylorPE]

I'm seeing a 1C rise also between the top and bottom cards under OICCT's GPU test w/ twin 560 Ti's OC'd to 1020 MHz .... I just dropped the speed down to 980 MHz as it allows all case fans to run at minimum rpm making it dead silent.

I'm not on my lappie or i could give ya some links but I'd lean to cards with the 6+2 phase VRM....here's one of them

Well they have a grill on the endplates and if I hold my hand at the back of the rig I can feel the air coming out, so they do exhaust something out the back.

 

[kajabla]

Sure, just not exclusively. The point here seems to be that EE isn't too important.

 

[Ooooops]

I use NZXT Tempest 210 for now. With Deepcool Windblades as intake and stock fans for exhaust. So, I don't know exactly if the airflow inside the case is good enough to cool 570's. What do you think guys? Do I need to change those fans, to be able to have a good airflow inside the case?

 

[Ooooops]

I think, I need to upgrade my case first. Am I right?

 

[toneekay]

That's a pretty good case IMO... It looks big enough to house everything and still have plenty of space for air to travel. Just as long as you have your wires neatly managed, then you shouldn't have a problem at all.

 

[kajabla]

Multiple intake fans? You're absolutely fine.
