1-XFX ATI Radeon HD 5970
2-Sapphire
3-Gigabyte
4-maybe Asus

so which one do you recommend ?

i heard there is a problem with XFX heat or maybe other issue ?

All seem to be decent brands, but I think XFX is known for great warranties.

If heat is a major concern, maybe spend a few bucks more and get one of these.

I've got one that is mounted underneath my 9600gt, and I don't even think my card gets out of the 50 degrees celcius range during gaming. Idle is in the low 40's, and I think the card only runs like 20% fan speed for noise sake.

this is not enough to solve high end Graphics card over heat

Make sure XFX warranty cover your country, they offer longer warranty if you register it within 30days...
