Ok, let's try this again. I believe my experiment with my MSI GTX 980Ti Gaming 6G has come to an end. See here.

Through this almost month long ordeal, I've learned a few things about this card.
1. It runs hot. Very hot.
2. It dumps all the heat inside the case, making everything else hotter.
3. It can get noisy.
4. It's unstable.
So, with all that being said, how about we restart this again? I was wondering if reference was really all that bad. I can control the noise with a custom fan curve, so that's not really going to be an issue...but the heat. I want it dumped OUTSIDE the case if I can help it this time around. So now I'm looking a GTX 980 Ti:
1. That is quiet.
2. That will dump as much heat as possible OUTSIDE the case.
3. Has NO COIL WHINE.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys can provide.
