Does it? I used them both but asus strix always operate on higher temperatures. for example in dota 2, msi's temperature never exceeded 67 degrees whereas asus's max temperature was 74 degrees. same thing goes for other games too like dragon age inquisition, attila total war...
 
Solution
970 is much more powerful GPU and requires more power. It gets hotter but performs better.
So the asus card might have a better or same cooling, but has to deal with much more heat.
