Basic model and the cheapest. I like it because it has 2 fans. one 6pin connector and 90watt in the wall. (doesn't need powered risers) If you oc too much the card will trottle down to the maximum stable speed.

if used for mining 7/24, the fans will likely break way before the warranty ends.
for mining, ball bearing fans are way more reliable, and I'd say required, unless you sell the cards after a handful of months.
My 2 gigabyte 980ti's all fans are done .. doing an rma on them.
The only cards I'll buy from now on will be with double ball bearings.
What site do you use to find out ball bearing types?
Personal experience or digging through reviews. Sometimes they're listed on the box. I've mentioned a few different times in this thread for the cards I've bought.
When you first get your fan give it a spin, if it sorta 'wobbles' and then settles like between two grooves it's a ball bear. If it spins freely and just slows down normally it's a sleeve.
Sleeves go bad. Ball bearings go bad, but they take a lot longer and just make a lot of noise while it's happening.
