Give me an ACX 2.0 cooler on a 980 with improved acoustics and I'm in for two, eVGA...

. Although admittedly I'd be tempted to simply remain with the reference blower design for SLI

. It'll probably just come down to what's available on launch day or not

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.

ACX 1.0 rocks as is.

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.

I can only imagine how well ACX 2.0 will be.

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! ^_^
