Please read all of this before answering.
I want to buy a gtx 760 but i dont know which one to get.
Im deciding between the Asus DCU2, Gigabyte Rev 2.0, MSI Gaming and EVGA.
Ive read that the gigabyte and the MSI are the coolest and most quietest in idle and under load.
HOWEVER, I want a reliable card and Im not sure about MSI graphics cards.
Basically, which is the quietest and the most reliable?

Thanks.

Personally I've always preferred the MSI cards over other third-party solutions. They have very effective heatsink designs that are usually pretty beefy. Couple that with their Twin Frozr cooler, and you have a card that is easily over-clockable, yet will stay well within acceptable thermal limits.
Gigabyte has their Windforce cooler that uses 3 fans, but their heat sink design isn't quite as robust.
As far as reliability goes, there isn't a lot of difference between the different manufacturers. Most of them don't stray too far from the reference design.
As far as Asus goes, I don't have a lot of experience with them. Asus is well known for the high quality components that they use in all their products. And I've noticed that their cooling solution is very close to what MSI uses.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the cards you listed. If it was me I would go with the MSI card.
