Gigabyte vs Asus

[illustrate63]

Hi,

 

The Asus 1660 super dual EVO 6gb oc and The gigabyte 1660 super gaming oc gpus are both the same price.

They both have a boost clock of 1860 mhz but i was wondering is there any advantage of getting one or the ther. I guess the gigabyte is triple fan so will be better at cooling...

Is there any benefit of asus over gigabyte?

Which should I go for?

 

Thanks :)

Like you said, three fans. OEM support on both sucks, although I suppose ASUS has a better reputation for QA on their products. All else being equal (including noise--that's a biggie on a triple fan card), I'd probably go with the triple fan if your case has room and adequate airflow for the third fan to be useful.

thanks so much! I have one more question on another topic if your happy to help. Which is better 

HyperX Fury HX432C16FB3K2/16 DIMM DDR4 (Kit 2 x 8 GB) 16 GB 3200 MHz CL15 1Rx8, Black

 

or 

 

Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit, Black

There are multiple reviews on Amazon saying that what arrives for the HyperX is actually CL16, mislabeled as CL15. I'd just buy whichever's cheaper, as they're both good brands with good support if something goes wrong.
