Actually its ACX 2.0 overclocked to 1.17 MHz for the EVGA edition 

and only 1.14 MHz for the MSI edition

Ok, well you said ACX in the top so I assumed ACX 1.0 because there is a 1.0 and 2.0 version of the 970.

There's really not much difference between coolers, I would just get the one that looks best with your rig.

Factory overclocking has nothing to do with it, if you're getting a 970, you should do yourself a favor and overclock it and get 25+% free performance. 970s also run extremely cool, so go for aesthetics and brand loyalty if not cooling/noise. imo twin frozr is noticeably better and even comes with a mousepad.

I have heard Twin Frozr perform better, but the difference is so minimal that choosing based on aesthetics is the way to go

Also a lot of the EVGA Maxwell cards apparently have awful noise issues, whereas the MSI ones don't even spin up their fans until they hit 60C. :P
