Hey guys, so i have been trying to decide which gtx 970 i should go with but i still don't know which one to pick. I have heard a lot of good things from the gigabyte version and the msi and asus version too. I am fitting one of these into a Enthoo luxe so ill have plenty of room. So which one should i go with?

Thank you in advance!

It takes more than silicon to make a good GPU. You need a good VRM, cooler and fans for it to avoid throttling. And if it can stay cool without sounding like a jet engine, that's good too. ;)

I have the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (Hynix RAM) with a custom BIOS mod. Runs at 1202/1506 on air with minimal voltage table tweaking. Generally stays under 65% fan speed and 66c under full stress testing loads. Cool and quiet even under full load. I can't even hear it with the case side panel on.

EVGA, ASUS and MSI also make some 970 cards, with the ACX 2.0 cooler on the EVGA cards being another really good one.
