GTX 660--ASUS, EVGA, or Gigabyte?

I'm set on the 660 so now I need to figure out what brand to get. A friend told me EVGA is the best since he's always used them and they don't cause any problems, but the non-reference models seem to have better cooling. That's why I have been leaning a little towards EVGA's FTW Signature 2 or ASUS with their DirectCU II system. Gigabyte also has a non-reference design but it looks sort of thrown together. I'd also like it to be quiet, and I've heard ASUS makes the quietest cards. Any suggestions?

Thanks. It was the one I was looking at already. :)  Quick question, are the non-reference coolers really necessary? To me there doesn't seem to be a need for them unless you're overclocking, which I probably won't need to do.


Usually, non-reference card features better layout, components and cooling design. Most of card makers produced factory overclocked solution. you can consider GIGABYTE GTX 660. It looks there is a decent offer on Newegg.
