That's true but the 80mm fans were far from optimal on their noise, and there were known issues with various fan speeds as to rattling or whining with ACX 1.0
. That's what I was referring to when I said "give me an ACX 2.0 with improved acoustics". A fixed 100mm dual fan ACX 2.0 would make me a happy camper... thermals had nothing to do with what I had written.
My only "complaint" is that once I damaged 1 fan blade by accidentally touching my finger to it when it was at full speed. Totally my fault. Caused the plastic fan blade to slightly bend and weaken. EVGA replaced it free of charge. Other than that, the EVGA ACX fans are THE air cooling system for graphics cards. Accept no substitutes.
ACX 1.0 sucks at least on this Classy, hopefully 2.0 is much better. Noisy bearings and barely powerful enough for 1.21v, let alone higher voltages. Using cheap fans on card of this caliber was a big letdown.

No rattling issues with mine. Although the 780 SC version seems to be louder than the FTW version I have. The FTW version is nice all the way up to 80%. Even then, I wear headphones to game so it matters not. Hell of a lot quieter than blowers.

Mine when running at 1,254/1,852 and 1.25V doesn't even touch 60C in a 19C ambient temp room... At least when running Catzilla 720p. 100% fan speed is fairly loud though
Soooo hoping that the 980 Classifieds come with backplates out of the gate! ^_^
Air coolers are just a few degrees from eachother, IF I temps were ever a concern, None of these goofy looking coolers beat a water block. Looks may not matter to you, but matters to many of us.
the Kingpin cards came with what im guessing the acx 2.0 will be maybe with some modifications to it also, and if thats the case its going to be a beast.
