Help me decide which one of these.

Which of these two coolers do you think is more effective, the Gigabyte Windforce or the Evga ACX? The latter has double bearings while Gigabyte has a third fan. Apart from cooling, do you think the minimal difference in GPU clock score (insignificant) the Evga comes with better build quality and finish? -
hello
if you put which model, I suppose someone will answer you.

hola
si pones que modelo, supongo que alguien te contestara.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 OC 2GB y EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SC w/ ACX Cooler 2GB
Both are very good brands but I like the EVGA more greetings ;D

Right now they cost the same and the Gigabyte gives the upcoming Splinter Cell, for me that's already enough reason to choose the Gigabyte, both have good cooling and both will be cool and quiet, the Gigabyte has a bit more OC, EVGA is not like it used to be giving more warranty, so right now I see the Gigabyte a bit better, for the extras. Besides, they cost the same, the Gigabyte is long lasting but the EVGA seems to be too, if I had to buy one right now of those two I would choose the Gigabyte, it's a bit better right now.
I don't know why EVGA doesn't give the Splinter Cell, Gigabyte does and it's also the deluxe version, I see it as an interesting extra.

GB's copper heat pipes against EVGA's aluminum heatsink... no doubt GB.

Copper heat pipes from GB vs aluminum heatsink from EVGA… no doubt GB.
I would swear that EVGA also has copper heat pipes, go to the pc components page and look at the photos and you can see them.

Three fans from GB against two from EVGA… no doubt GB.

Well, after opening many posts and seeing opinions, I have decided on the Gigabyte. As you have already commented, it is very well cooled and a bit more expensive, although it will be tested with games as we go along. It comes with Splinter Cell as a gift, which the EVGA does not, and I really do not understand that. And due to space problems, I do not have it anymore because my case is a Corsair T600.
What has annoyed me a bit is that I bought it on Monday morning for 250 € at PC components and this very early morning it was already at 246 € equalized with the EVGA. I will receive it between today and tomorrow, I will tell you my impressions…..... -

minute 13 +o-
well the system is not bad at all, cobrizo = copper, plateado = nickel? no …. aluminum
jokes aside.
the EVGA, mounts a backplate that you want that doesn't always do something more when it comes to cooling the memory modules than having them "in the air"
the Gigabyte, I have a 660 OC (the model before this one) and everything is virtues, I don't think the 3rd fan is necessary but.....
it uses a head pipes system with direct contact with the GPU
speaking of fans, the EVGA ones are dual bearing.
either one is a good buy, the best.... the cheapest ;D

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked ACX Cooling Video Card Review - EVGA GeForce GTX780 w/ ACX Cooler - Legit Reviews -
After a week with the Gigabyte windforce 760 gtx I can say that it covers all my expectations with room to spare. Tested in Battlefield 3 with everything on high and ultra it gives me between 70 and 80 constant frames as well as in Splinter Cell Conviction about 60-70. The only thing that has surprised me a little is that I have noticed some bright spots on the screen in some sequential videos of for example the Splinter Cell, as well as in some photos while browsing Facebook. Could we be talking about artifacts? It never happened with my old Shappire Vapor X 5770 before I put this one in, could it be due to a defect in the graphics card? What do you think? Because if it's not normal it's under warranty

Did you clean the driver remnants of your previous graphics card well?
Lately some Nvidia seem more sensitive to other graphics installations, it's usually recommended to run a driver cleaner, if the system has been around for a while even format, but that might not be necessary I would uninstall the driver and put a cleaner like driver sweeper, clean the remnants of AMD and Nvidia and then install some, also run a registry cleaner like ccleaner, before installing the drivers.
with that it should be clean of remnants, the 760 is not so different from a 670 and shouldn't have problems with the driver anymore, but if there are remnants it's much more possible for graphic errors, if they were artifacts they would have to occur in all games, at least in the most demanding ones.
Try it as I say to see if it gets solved.
Also download the latest driver for your card from the nvidia page.

Well, I uninstalled the amd drivers with the installer itself, besides that, I have a pc maintenance program, I think it's called Iobit, which, besides doing many things, cleans the registry. I formatted the system less than two months ago because I put a new ssd in it. Do you suggest that I uninstall everything, run the program you mentioned and reinstall?

I certainly use a cleaner for leftovers when I put in cards from different brands, because uninstalling always leaves you with things. You can run driver sweeper before uninstalling the Nvidia ones, clean up the leftovers from ATI and Nvidia with driver sweeper, and then install a driver. It's sure to be better, and when installing the Nvidia one, it's better to do it in a personalized way and not install programs like GeForce Experience or even 3D Vision if you're not going to use it, check the correct installation box so that everything is set to default.

With a good driver cleanup and update of these and codecs, we should have exhausted the causes of software failure.
Regarding hardware, you state that they appear in applications or stages where the card is practically at rest, so lack of power should not be. However, make sure that the connector is properly fitted.
Also, check the cable that goes to the monitor and the DVI connector attached to the graphics.
Also observe if its appearance increases while playing or if other anomalies are observed (prolongation of vertices, projection of paneled lighting, etc...)
If these dots appear regularly with respect to the frequency, it may be that the signal has interference or that a contact sends voltage through one of the channels, in which case the healthiest thing is to change the card. -

pues el sistema no esta nada mal, cobrizo = cobre, plateado = ¿níquel? no …. aluminio
bromas a parte.
la EVGA, monta un Backplate que quieras que no siempre hace algo mas a la hora de refrigerar los módulos de memoria que no tenerlos "a el aire"
la Gigabyte, tengo una 660 OC ( el modelo anterior a este ) y todo son virtudes, no creo que sea necesario el 3º ventilador pero …..
utiliza un sistema de head pipes con contacto directo con la GPU
hablando de ventiladores, los de la EVGA son de doble rodamiento.
cualquiera de las dos es una buena compra, la mejor.... la mas barata ;D

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked ACX Cooling Video Card Review - EVGA GeForce GTX780 w/ ACX Cooler - Legit ReviewsNo sé si quieres sugerir que las heatpipes de la eVGA son de aluminio, pero en el vídeo dice claramente que son de cobre, otro asunto es que tenga como se ha visto en multitud de casos, un acabado "niquelado" que de hecho también lleva otras partes del disipador, pero eso es sólo un cambio estético. Es cobre y funciona igual que cualquier otra heatpipe de cobre "al aire", básicamente.
Por otro lado los dos sistemas de refrigeración cubren de sobra las necesidades, me gusta más la gigabyte, pero creo que la decisión es la más barata, a falta de pruebas acústicas para ambas gráficas (en ese caso podría argumentar que la más silenciosa, pero como no sé cuál es, pues la más barata).

Regarding hardware, you state that they appear in applications or stages where the card is practically at rest, so lack of power should not be it. However, make sure that the connector is well adjusted.
Also, check the cable that goes to the monitor and the DVI connector anchored to the graphics.
Also observe if its appearance increases while playing or if other anomalies are observed (prolongation of vertices, projection of paneled lighting, etc...)

I have also played X com Uknown which is a strategy game, a more paused game and everything is perfect, I will do what you tell me to clean the software that may be left and I will reinstall to see how it goes.

I don't know if you want to suggest that the eVGA's heatpipes are aluminum, but in the video it clearly says they are copper, another matter is that it has, as has been seen in many cases, a "nickel-plated" finish that in fact also has other parts of the heatsink, but that is just an aesthetic change. It is copper and works the same as any other copper heatpipe "in the air", basically.
On the other hand, the two cooling systems cover the needs more than enough, I like the gigabyte more, but I think the decision is the cheapest one, pending acoustic tests for both graphics (in that case I could argue that the quieter one, but as I don't know which one it is, then the cheapest one).

regardsI have already read it but I still don't know if it's a joke or if you mean it, which is fine with me but to avoid confusion, I quote you and clarify and say that yes, there are heatpipes, and yes, they are copper (the minute you quote shows the heatsink from below and the heatpipes, but your subsequent lines can be interpreted as a joke or as an assertion, it won't be the first time that someone relates the finish of a heatsink to the material as you have put). Much more extravagant things have been taken as said in earnest by forums, the truth.
