Big factory OC, good cooler.

well apparently gigabyte is the fastest out of the box but the loudest, Asus is quietest but not as fast as MSI and less OC room. EVGA except the FTW edition have problem with the cooler. so in summary MSI is the best but Asus and gigabyte is very good as well

I hear people say this again and again and yes, there's a dud heatpipe. But I simply haven't seen that result in bad cooling anywhere. The cooler seems to do perfectly fine even with that design flaw.

i agree it doesn't really matter but it does run a few degree hotter but then again why would you specifically choose evga with misalign heat pipe over other superior cards? especially when only MSI/Asus has the feature to turn off fan at low temp?

So msi or gigabyte?take a look at my pc specs by the way,which one would be better with my mobo and etc ..

doesnt really matter they should perform about the same. personally i bought the MSI because it have a feature where the fan doesnt spin at idle unlike gigabyte and if i am not wrong slightly quieter
