gtx 980 cooling: windforce 3x or ACX 2.0 ?
ACX 2.0 seems like a big improvement but the windforce 3x cooler is rated for 600W so I am not sure which is the best option.

Thanks in advance for the help.

the gigabyte windforce model is considerably longer than the evga acx model. i believe the evga 970/980s are about 10.5" long while the gigabyte is over 12". i personally would always want evga anyways unless there is an msi, gigabyte or asus model that is considerably cheaper.

I'd get the SC ACX, excellent cooling, not saying Windforce is not powerful, but ACX has the best blend of temps and noise IMO, besides being great OCers.
