Rig: R1700 with Cryorig M9A, RX480, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2400, MX300 250GB M.2, 2 SSDs, Seasonic 650.
Received this morning and installed in a Fractal Node 304. That USB 3.0 header is a long stretch in that case (coming from the bottom right). There is enough slack with the default cable, but...

Sorry about that. At least from my own experience, it does perform very good for a blower style cooler. I know noise was a common complaint with the other blower style coolers.

I picked one up, earlier in the week, and the card also includes a back plate. As others have pointed out, it does have the Titan X cooler. I was torn between this or the MSI, but glad this came up as I had BB credit and it turned out to be very quiet (even at load in FarCry 4).
