I'd say Gigabyte G1 (based on techpowerup that reviewd popular cooler brands on the 980 module)

Why do you have to buy it from newegg?

Sadly I didn't find it neither, it's not out yet; so far only EVGA and Zotac released their non reference coolers for the 980Ti.

I'd wait if you really want that module.

You mean this? It's right there, in stock (get it while you can). It's been out for awhile (and is only in stock briefly) - I have one in my PC.

sweet I guess pcpartpicker guys does not update on regulary schedule.

Cool colour scheme too, the all black regular G1 is kinda boring; makes me wanna put it into NZXT 410 case along with MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition
EDIT: Linus just released a review on it:

I'd like the way it would look but I wouldn't get that much white for one reason: dust!

It seems pretty close. The Zotac is clocked a little higher out of the box but runs hotter and decently louder. You could OC the Gigabyte and probably hit same speeds with equal or less noise and temperature.

@KHAndAnime: You need a program to even get the "OC" clocks on the G1... Where as the Zotac doesn't have that handy cap.

That doesn't make sense, a black motherboard gets more dust than a white motherboard.

But it's not noticeable on a black mobo while the white mobo is gonna look all dirty.
