Which 6870 is the most quiet?

[vz7]

Hi guys,

I'm looking to purchase a 6870 card and was wondering if you could comment on the noise level. From what I've read so far it seems that the sapphire one is very loud, whereas the MSI one is very quiet.

If you have experience with any of the brands of this card PLEASE help me out. Please also link the exact model via newegg or some other source as well.

Thanks!

Well I've been looking through quite a bit of reviews and it seems as if the MSI one is the most silent out of all of them. I actually have a Fermi 470gtx MSI twin forzr(very similar heatsink and fans compared to the 6870 version) and It's very quiet I barely hear it when im playing for hours and its cooling is very effecient.
