According to the Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/AdvancedMicroDevices/comments/3gq2qz/discussion_which_r9_390x_is_best/

The best card is between MSI and Sapphire. Someone in the thread claims the ASUS runs at higher temps due to badly designed heatsink. There is no mention of note about the powercolor.

The ASUS cards are known to have really good power delivery circuitry...my 280x Matrix has a 20 phase system and is rock solid...I haven't heard of, or had any heatsink issues myself...

The MSI 390x is also a good card. Usually the issue with the 390x cards is the size of the card...many are 12 inches long and require a large PC case. Make sure you check that whatever you buy will fit inside your case...if I was in the market I would save another 100 bucks and buy the R9 Nano...faster and much smaller.

I have been using ASUS parts for 5 years now. Once I bought ASUS Nvidia GTX 750 Ti OC. It was broken, but I got a new one and it didn't have any problem. Now I'm selling it and bought asus r9 390. Haven't tested yet, cause had to buy a new case, but I'm pretty sure it's awesome. My friend bought same one. Suggesting ASUS parts =)

That's true, the new AMD Asus cards run at higher temperatures than others do, like my r9 380, when I use the gaming profile from asus, it runs at 990Mhz with 76C, when I made my own profile, I've OCed it to 1160Mhz on core and 6400Mhz on memory, didn't even needed to add more V. With User Define cooling it runs at 72C in peak.
