Hi, I'm looking for a 980 that is silent at idle and is quiet at load and has no power noise (Buzzing or whining or anything similar).
I have tried 1 reference on 3 different power supplies and all did the exact same noise, I then tried another reference on my main power supply and it bzzd. I then tried an Asus strix 980 which claimed to reduce power noise but it still buzzes (And doesnt fit in my case anyway, asus' measurements are wrong).
My final 2 options for cards that fit are the Evga ACX (Not classified) and possible the Gigabyte Windforce which may be awkward getting into the case due to its length. Which one is more likely to not have power noise? For me the EVGA one will be easier to fit in so I'm kinda leaning towards that.
