I dont have many choices to buy my 5700 card in my country, I tried to get sapphire twice but failed it is like buying illegal drugs !! however I now have 3 choices with their problems :

 

MSI 5700 Mech OC .... I read on many reviews that is has thermal problem and may cause stutter during gaming because of that.

Asrock 5700 Challenger OC .... Many on the net reported fan problem but Asrock responded with vbios update but I dont know if this fixed the problem.

Gigabyte 5700 Gaming OC .... has no issues but 400 pounds more expensive in my country currency !!

 

I tried to get the Gigabyte but the company selling it only allow purchase within a complete PC !! so what do you think guys I should choose ? Asrock or MSI ? or wait for sapphire ? if I waited, all 5700 cards may get sold out and as a result not getting anything but it is also possible that some company offer sapphire no one knows ! it is very poor hardware market in my country and international purchase also prohibited !!

Any links to the MSI Mech OC with thermal issues? I can't find any other then the Evoke card and they fixed that.

 

I'd go with them over the others in your list. Stuttering is most likely drivers, not the cards.

ASRock has a great warranty, and generally excellent service. I'd go with them over MSI. (though I like MSI, they have had just too many issues with the 5700/XT cards to recommend them for this generation of cards)

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 120mm AIO & push-pull Arctic P12 PWM fans RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V 4x8GB 3600 16-16-16-30

It covers the center/most of the chip and temps are within a few degrees of its competitor and that makes it bad? So much fear mongering now with no name reviewers lol...
