Power Consumption, Noise, Temps

As you'd expect, considering the card has dual fans and is clocked higher than reference models, the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC w/ ACX had somewhat higher power consumption than the reference GeForce GTX 770. But we're only talking a few watts here.
The EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC w/ ACX's temperatures, however, were clearly better than the reference card. In fact, the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 SC w/ ACX never even approached its GPU Boost 2.0 temperature target under normal conditions.
We should also point out that the ACX cooler is very quiet. Even when running under load, over extended periods, the fans never spun up to a point we'd consider noisy. In fact, the card wasn't really audible over the CPU and PSU fans in our test system.
