G1 Gaming is pretty great, I've got one myself, stays nice and cool, have never seen it go over 72c when running a stress test on stock speeds, and it stays in the 60s when gaming.

Specs: CPU - Intel i7 8700K @ 5GHz | GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Motherboard - ASUS Strix Z370-G WIFI AC | RAM - XPG Gammix DDR4-3000MHz 32GB (2x16GB) | Main Drive - Samsung 850 Evo 500GB M.2 | Other Drives - 7TB/3 Drives | CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Pro | Case - Fractal Design Define C Mini TG | Power Supply - EVGA G3 850W

Asus Strix if you want silence, Gigabyte Windforce 3x if you want better cooling, performance and OCing. Assuming your case can hold it, that is.

Best brand: Gigabyte

Best card: G1 Gaming, though I'd recommend the Windforce 3x card over it as it hits the same overclocks, and because my GTX 970 G1 Gaming degraded in the span of 2 months (starting at 140MHz with no voltage increase-it shouldn't have degraded at all).

Zotac has a great customer service. Probably among the bests. I've got one Zotac GTX 970 AMP Extreme and its overclocked to 1505hz and i also overclocked the memory +500. I've never saw it go above 68C and I can play games like Batman Arkham Origins at 1440p everything ultra/on except v-sync and motion blur.I get average 45 FPS. On Shadow of Mordor  its 1620p (With DSR) And everything ultra/on except for v-sync and motion blur i get average 48 FPS. And I downladed ultra texture pack for it. My vote is for Zotac. I've never had any problem so far. And this is my 3rd Zotac Card. People dont usually use Zotac but i think its great. I bet some of those gigabyte guys would have picked zotac if they used it :)

I'd have picked Zotac as an alternative if I'd known that my G1 Gaming was going to one of the odd cards out.

Well I said if you used it. If you did I also said that ''some of the gigabyte guys''.

Could you SS the overclock and temp after full load? I need to do a comparison with my G1 Gaming as Gigabyte doesn't like people trying to RMA one of their top-of-the-line graphics cards, and I want to see if shaming them works.

I dont understand why you are taking this so serious. Its 3 a.m. and i really dont want to SS a full load. I'm just saying it to you i've only seen 68C at max on full load. Its at 1505 mhz core and +500 memory. You dont have to trust me but.... why would i lie??

Edit : English is not my main language so i might have misunderstood there. Are you trying to shame gigabyte or what. Sorry if I misunderstood.

Its not about not believing  you (I do, and other people get the same overclocks or higher with all other manufacturers), and yes I'm trying to shame Gigabyte with a graphics card that costs less overclocking better then a G1 Gaming, and that unless they cooperate and help me fix the problem, I will take my money elsewhere.

I thought you didnt believe me and you wanted to see proof lol. Really sorry man. I can SS if its about shaming a company thought :). I'd do Metro Redux but game has a problem, it crashes with overclock i'll try with Far Cry 4. Sorry again...

NP, I wasn't being clear enough, and as long as you can get a stable overclock that's above 1329MHz (stock boost clock of the G1 Gaming which is unstable with mine), it will be perfect.

May not be able to do that tonight thought.But I doubt they'll feel ashemed.

Any time is good, I've still got over 6 months to get an RMA, and even if they don't end up ashamed, I'll have made my point to them.
