Hello everyone

I have question.Can someone tell me what should i go for Asus Gtx 970 or Gigabyte G1 gaming gtx 970 ? I know that gigabyte version have 3 fans and I'm wondering how much cooler is than Asus Strix ? Because I'm kinda temperature freak. I just want my PC to be cool as possible. I do care about noise a little bit but not to much. Give me reasons why to buy Gigabyte version ( prons,cons ) and why buy Asus version ( prons,cons )

 

Thank you

The g1 should be cooler and has a beefier cooler. Anyone of these should be fine really

The gigabyte one is super cool due to it's 3 fans and massive heatsink that has 6 heat pipes inside it to dissipate the heat. The gigabyte g1 gaming model is the best 970 model as it provides better overclocks and generally lower temperatures. Asus's Strix has poor power delivery which results in lower overclocks which means lower performance propably. Also there are many members from the forum that bought the STRIX 970 and regret every cent they spent on it, it had coil whine and random jumps on the voltage by its own without overclocking.

I was faced with this same decision a few months back and the Gigabyte G1 is benchmarked as the #1 970 to get in every way. There's not much else to say except for that. I'm not sure if it's still a bit more expensive than the Asus but when you're buying something that's already super expensive $30-40 more isn't much for a better overall card imo.

Well G1 GPU is 6 euros more than asus one but amazon gave me 40€ off and I will pay for G1 only 325EUR ( shipping includet from germany ) Asus one is 360eur
