Best overclocker? ASUS, MSI Gigabyte??

:hello: 
I've been doing some research recently into the GTX570 and it seems people believe that a certain brand is the best brand for overclocking.

I've read a few threads recently where the OP is asking something like "Which GTX570 to go for?" and the replies have been "POV overclocks the best" then you get someone else saying "my ASUS does 900Core" ETC....

My understanding was that the AIB manufactures don't get to test each card and cherry pick the best overclockers, instead they just get aload of cards, put their sticker on the card and some of them test the cards they got and sell the better overclockers as "OMG SSC FTW" Editions...

However I see many people recommend a certain brand based apon how well they overclock, So is one brand better than the other in terms of overclockability? Or is it just luck of the draw? :heink: 

Your thoughts and opinions?

Instead of trying to find out which is the best overclocker, I'd try to find out which one has the best cooler, since the better the cooler, better is the chance of the overclock being more stable.So the card with the better cooler will generally overclock better.

That said, have you sorted out the problems with the 5850?

Which ever card I decide to purchase I'll be watercooling so temps wouldn't be a problem, and yes I've sorted out my HD5850 problems :D  :bounce:

My determining factor is the warranty. Some brands do in fact use better caps and material on their cards so they run better (although a wee bit). For overclockability, i guess the cooler aspect mentioned by Tamz_msc is genuine thing to look at. It is more of a luck of the draw, i guess!

Yeah MSI have some cards with "Military Class Components" whether or not it makes a difference to overclockability I don't know.

I hope I get lucky with my GTX570's, Hoping for 850+ Core on both :)
