With the reference cooler or classified or other?



From what I remeber the classy is the best oc'r if you're staying on air

If you're not ocing at all then it doesn't really matter

it doesn't really matter, i'd get a non reference model tho, because they're pretty much the same in terms of functionality and use.
if you're really a freak about noise then google them and see what model does the less noise.
because getting a new gpu is not a big deal when you know what chipset you want.

Well I am so noob at OC

I want to OC my card and my cpu, but too many concerning factors for me

I don't plan on oc really, but I have a green theme and I like the reference coolers green logo andthw windforce card looks pretty neat

Nonreference cards come stock with a light OC, so they'll preform better than reference right out of the box.
