I'm fairly new to the WC world and I have a question. I already had two Gigabyte 7950's in my system when I installed water cooling. As there is no universal water block for these cards I have been looking to swap them out and go with a new GTX 970 and WB.
Will a reference 970 perform as well as the more expensive 970's offered by Asus, Gigabyte and MSI. Since the aftermarket cooler will be coming off for a water block is there much of a performance difference between any of the 970's. Does anyone recommend a better card for this setup?
Zotac offers a cheaper card:

Just wondering if it would compete with he others - ie. G1 or Strix? I seems a little small. Core clock is 1076 vs 1170 for a G1.
Anyone have a 970 on a WB that they think is best? Also, anyone experience bad coil whine with their 970 on a WB? After all, I'm aiming for silence in my system.
Thanks
