    No problem. All I know is I've had 2 and neither one ran hot. Just be sure and set a custom fan profile, no matter which card you get.
    Um I am sorry if this a dumb question but a custom fan profile? Would this be done through a Windows program or through the software that come with the card?

    Software through Nvidia just like Catalyst via AMD.

    I might be wrong but I think you need to use MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision, Zotac Firestorm etc.. to set a custom profile. I think the nvidia control panel just lets you set it at a constant speed.

    That's it, I've used MSI Afterburner and it's fairly comprehensive.

    Oh I see. I have friends that use MSI Afterburner but I never realized you could use it to control the GPU fan speed. Are there other programs out there or is MSI Afterburner just the main "go to" program for this.

    They are both basically the same with a different interface.
