![]() ![]() So, why wouldn't Nvidia set its recommended clocks higher? And again those fans are incredibly quiet when they do get going. The STRIX's fans only spin up once the GPU reaches 55✬, which means that on your Windows desktop the card is running entirely on passive cooling. The DirectCU II cooler on the STRIX kept our review sample running at its top overclock at only 58✬, considerably cooler than the ACX 2.0+ cooler on the EVGA SuperSC version. Temperature isn't really an issue, especially with the formidable cooling that Asus has layered on top of its GPU. Though the fact that the EVGA GTX 960 SuperSC version is clocked even higher, yet still posts incredibly close gaming frame rates, does mean there's not really any great advantage to running at these speeds. That shows just how much overclocking headroom there is in the GTX 960. ![]()
