Hey guys! I have a question regarding the GTX 980. Which model is best? Gigabyte? Asus? Zotac? EVGA? The only requirement I have is that it's factory overclocked. Is a non-reference cooler really necessary? I may overclock in the future.

1st MSI, 2nd ASUS, 3rd Gigabyte. EVGA has a flaw with their design so the fans have to spin up pretty loud to hold an adequate temperature.On the 900 series? I've never had any noise issues on my EVGA GTX 660 and it's a blower fan model. Hopefully the ACX 2.0 cooler fans should be quiet.

Some good models, such as the ACX 2.0 version, are shown here.

But it seems as if Zotac is the only brand left in stock and looks like newegg and Amazon (and all other retailers for that matter) will not restock any 980s or 970s for the next several weeks. I've seen negative reviews on Zotac cards.
