                                       - Fans are quiet, no coil whine and leds are nice touch on this FTW edition.
- Temps are low and the fans barely have to run. It's quiet and very fast.
- Fast, extremely powerful, and EVGA's fans are not noisy but do keep it nice and cool.
- Optional Software (EVGA Precision X) is really good.
- The only complaint is the fans make a bit of a grinding noise when spinning up.
