Question about R9 280x Sapphire coolers and R9 280x in general

[TonyXJ]

I've come to stumble upon the respected Vapor-X model(s) of R9 280x, are these better compared to the (more expensive) other Sapphire R9 280x models? Will I be able to OC a 950mhz Vapor-X to higher clock speeds than e.g R9 280x Toxic?

I know this question might seem odd, but I'm talking about possible temperature/mhz ratio. I also have come across CLUB 3D R9 280x's how about them? Feel free to post whichever brand 280x you think is the 'unbeatable' champion.

Thanks in advance, and apologizes for the somewhat messy context.

The OCing will depend on your patience and what you are willing to do, they all run on the same chip so if you get a good chip also plays in, but the OCing is a balance of voltage and freq, some will add better fans or even go liquid cooling...for the cards in general, I like theCU cooling design that Asus has - it's worked well on all their cards I've used and been able to get good OCs with it
