I just upgraded my 2 year old EVGA GTX 650 TI SSC, and I'm loving this 970 so far!

Finally got my EVGA SC 970 ACX 2.0 delivered! Love how it performs, And my temps never go past 54c playing GTA 5, But then again My R9 270 never went to 60c either, My Antec 300 has a many fans, Also no coil whine! However I do think it is crap that I do not get a backplate! Other than that I am very pleased with this card! Best GPU I have ever owned! Also has samsung V-Ram I love that! Never overclocking this! I will baby it.

I spoke too soon, When I ran other games and Unigine it got up to 74c. I do not like it getting that warm, I do not think it was such a great idea to have the fans off until temps go up, I was told 70c is normal temps for the 970. But I still feel uncomfortable. I usually do not buy a GPU that cost over $180, So I am very concerned about not hurting it. I hope this passes overtime.

Ye
Yeah, even with the nine total fans in my Corsair Carbide Air 240 case, my 970 still hits the mid 70's when playing Crysis 3 on max settings or running Unigen Heaven maxed out. I don't even sweat it - it never gets over 78 or so, and if you're worried about keeping it a little cooler then just download EVGA's free PrecisionX 16 software and use it to set the fan threshold lower. That helps as well.

Yeah I downloaded afterburner, And I set a fan profile, When you set the fans to run like any normal GPU it never gets past 55c, And the fan speed never has to go past 32%. And at that speed the fans are not loud at all. It makes no sense that they did not set a normal fan profile. I thought about flashing the bios with my own fan profile, But I better not risk it.
