I stated to buy some of those fans but I hear they can get loud so I'm staying away from them. Instead I run a 140mm Corsair Air Series fan for the rear of my case, 2 Noctua 140mm for my Corsair H115i AIO cooler, and a stock 230mm Cooler Master fan in the front of my HAF X case. This gives me an extremely quiet system. I also don't overclock so I don't need the fans running full bore.

That said, those ML Corsair fans are interesting.

All mine are Corsair led blue fans, at full bore they can be a little loud. These fans might be a little quieter. They are bigger thou.
Also my rig is overclocked @5.0 so I need to keep it cool. Also memory is oc'd too, along with gpu. :)
I have 5 fans installed ...so far.

@f14tomcat, I really don't know exactly which one you are getting. I suspect yours will look more like this, the Reference style (A/K/A FE for Founders Edition) It probably won't be quite that big, but close.

Should I expect problems? Only choices I had were 8 or 11GB, single or dual. Not brand.

Thats a great card TC, you are fine!

Hey essenbe, you gonna go ahead with the Ti purchase or keep your powder dry and wait for the next gen in q3 - q4?

@doorules, probably going to do the TI, but I haven't decided yet. My guess is the new ones won't be in the stores until about Oct. Then I will be wanting to wait for the 2080 TI. I'll never get a card.
