You will get a separate e-mail from Newegg with the title "Digital Product delivery" and it will have the product keys.

Hmm, well I guess I need to contact them. I never got that!

XL-R8R · Nov 29, 2014

Anyone suffering hot RAM chips on the back of their card?

I have the GTX970 from MSI ("Gaming/TwinFrozr 4") and the 4 IC's on the back get really toasty.....90'C kinda toasty. :twitch:

I was thinking about some little sinks... any input?? :toast:

XL-R8R · Nov 29, 2014

Bump!

EarthDog · Nov 29, 2014

Damn yo, middle of the night 9 hour bump? Lol!

I don't have one but hour logic is sound on how to cool those memory ICs... go for it and report back.

Dose the MSI board have sensors or do you measure the temp by other means ?

Joined the club a few days ago lol. Got my new rig up and running with an MSI 970 with the Twin Frozr V, its the OC Edition. Runs pretty awesome so far, though my PPD with F@H seems rather low

D007 · Dec 10, 2014

These drivers are making me crazy..
Every single time I update, I get some new dam problem.
Nvidia needs to take their head out of their asses.

Im in. Just purchased 2x ASUS Strix GTX 970 to run F@H on. For the money, they're a beast of a card.

arent 780s still better thank 970s when it comes to number crunching???

Ive also seen in a lot of benchmarks where 970s are slightly weaker despite supposing to be a more powerful card.

PPD /W though... 780s are 250W cards. 980 is 165W.

Dacur · Dec 10, 2014

Asus Matrix 980 on H20, swiffy mcw-80

EarthDog · Dec 30, 2014

I se enothing on the ram which is OK, but that leads me to ask did you put something on the VRMs? Something has to be there boosting to 1730, LOL! Nice clocks!

It was stock LN2 bios on newegg retail card without additional Asus extension power card yet. Only cold ambient NY night which perfect for benching

Heres with 3D memory 9000 locked bios http://kingpincooling.com/forum/showpost.php?p=28574&postcount=1

and 9000 mem no problem @ 1.7Vmem and 1.5Vgpu. Still on h2o

repman244 · Jan 11, 2015

Just ordered a GTX 970 to replace my 5870.

My first NVIDIA card ever.

FreedomEclipse · Jan 25, 2015

decided to bump my clocks a little for the lols

+87mV core voltage
+110 power limit
+200 core clock
+450 Memory clock - But i have heard that these cards can run all the way to +500 with no problems unless luck of the draw happens

- Rather modest OC tbh, I just googled 970 OC and copied whatever settings the other people had and this seemed to be the most common set of OC settings.

Ive done 10 runs each of Metro 2033 & Metro LL bench with everything cranked up and I have not seen any artifacting. I think i have 3DMark installed so i might give it firestorm a run.

Rannick1982 · Jan 31, 2015

A coworker is going to sell me one of his Strix 970's for $250, since he feels convinced he'll be playing on his new laptop more than his desktop. lol, I should have it on Monday. I'll be upgrading from 2 660's.

psyko12 · Feb 5, 2015

Coming from an Asus DCu II TOP GTX 560 Ti, now I have a Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming xD

Anybody having problems with the driver 347.25 + GFExperience 2.2.2, not detecting my card under LED Visualizer and I can't change the Color range to Full, it always remain in Limited in the control panel (using HDMI) as cable source.
