I bought an asus turbo oc graphics card which was very noisy, and my supplier has agreed to replace it for me for any of the other gtx970's, my question for you guys, is which one i should get. things to note: my case doesn't have the best airflow, the asus turbo got to 80 degrees under load and around 35 idle. my power supply is 620w, and noise levels matter a lot to me. from what i heard, i should either get the msi, the gigabyte g1 gaming or the asus strix. which one of those should i get if the cost is not a factor?

Hey,
One PROBLEM is that you say your case air flow is not good, which may be why they chose a BLOWER style graphics card to exhaust the air.
You should state what CASE you have as you may have air flow issues, or even a problem FITTING in some cards.
Anyway, I agree on the MSI->

This.
When I went looking for a 970 that would be one of the most reliable, and I could OC if desired, just about everything led to the MSI Gaming 4G.
It runs consistently cooler then the EVGA models. That was the most important item for me.
Thank you, that is probably what i'll go with, i won't have any problem fitting any card (i think), i have a midtower sharkoon vs4-s to which i added an additional exhaust rear fan. i don't actually know if my airflow is ok or not, the reason i assume it's not ideal, is the temps of my previous gpu.
