Title says it all, which board should I go for ?

Help please, both of them fit my budget, so help me choosing please =)

I want the one that heats LEASTS, the lower the temps are, the better to me as I want it to last LONG time, like 4 or 5 years, and honestly, getting a 1070 right know would probably provide me this time with no problem, even if in the future I have to play in low graphics ...

The temps and the quality of the gpu is everything that matters to me, I don`t really care about noise since I`m going to play it listening to music and everything =)

Thanks for helping me choose

PS: I`d go for 1060, but after some people`s help from the forum, I decided going for a 1070, but the cheapest cards like this zotac and gigabyte, so that`s why I want to pick a good quality one, cannot afford a msi gaming x or a asus strix version

That`s it =)

Normally I say to avoid mini versions of cards if you can fit a full size model in your budget. The full size models usually have more fans so they run cooler and quieter. That being said the Zotac Mini isn't as small as most other mini cards. It still has two fans even if it looks like the second fan hangs off the end of the PCB a bit.

I would still prefer the Gigabyte Windforce of those too but the Zotac Mini is probably fine if it's a little cheaper.

Yeah the zotac is a little bit cheaper, but not a hude difference so if it`s better, I`d go for the windforce

The thing is, while the windforce has the clock a little bit higher (a small difference tho), the zotac has two years of warranty (the gigabyte only 1 if I`m not wrong)

Both has two fans, but I didn`t find any good review for the windforce version to compare the temps, which one do you think heats least ?

Size wouldn`t probably be a problem as I`m going to get a asrock b350 pro 4 mobo, I think both of them could fit the mobo and will fit the case since I`m gonna get a normal-sized case.

The thing is, which one has a better quality and would offer me lower temperatures, and most important, that I wouldn`t have any issue with it

Another option would be a rx580 8 gb sapphire nitro plus, but I think the gtx 1070 is a better deal even tho it`s one of these two right ?

Just an IMPORTANT point, does my psu thermaltake smartseries 600w bronze plus 80 fit these gtx 1070 connector ?
