I find the card pretty quiet I have no complains about noise. I chose to go with a single card setup and its running nice. There are other features too as well as run on windows startup. Fans can be on all the time by using precision X software (free from the EVGA website) and user can create a custom fan curve, or tu rn on a feature called auto fan that basically of course controls the speed of the fan depending how the temperature of the GPU fluctuates during use. EVGA manufactures a single fan model of this card that is about half the length and can fit in smaller PC cases.ĮVGA GTX960 has a thermal control system in the hardware that turns on the fans when the card reaches over 60 Degrees Celsius. (Straight pipe design is about 6% more cooling efficient than curved pipes on cards) Card is near ten and a half inches in length. I still enjoyed My 550ti (Still a good solid card for me, just decided to upgrade after 4 yrs.) The GTX 960 has double bearing fans (Longer fan life 4X as much life, and straight heat pipes that run down the middle of the card. Upgraded from a EVGA GTX 550Ti 2GB card to this GTX 960 SSC 4GB.
