700 Series reference coolers

Hey guys

At the moment I am looking at upgrading from my 670 to a 780 ti, but I know very little about the reference coolers on them. They look very nice, but are they any good? Obviously they will not be as good as a DCU2 or Windforce cooler, but is it sufficient enough to keep it cool under load?

I really do like the look of the reference cooler, but unfortunately no store in New Zealand sells the Twin Frozor model that I want the most.

Thanks.

Compared to AMD, Nvidia's reference coolers aren't awful, but a non-reference cooler is still worth more than the aesthetics.  Can you get any other non-reference cards in New Zealand?

Yeah every non-reference model is available, except for MSI cards. I'm currently on a DC2 670, guess ill be going with another DC2 card.
