ASUS 770 or MSI 770

[Venomz1337]

As the title says,

 

Asus http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-asus-gtx-770-directcu-ii-oc-28nm-pcie-30-(x16)-7010mhz-gddr5-gpu-1058mhz-boost-1110mhz-cores-153

 

OR

 

MSI  http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-msi-gtx-770-gaming-pcie-30-(x16)-7010mhz-gddr5-gpu-1098mhz-boost-1150mhz-cores-1536

 

There's a £26 difference and I was wondering if it's worth that difference. I'm trying to go with a red colour scheme in my build so these are the two cards I want to choose from. Thanks!

Go with whatever suits your build the most.

[Venomz1337]

They both suit my build, they're both red

[Dr3nz4r]

Go with MSI, they usually boost higher

+1 for the MSI. I got it in my own build and it's benchmark stable WITHOUT upping voltages to 1306MHz :O!

Oh, I see my gaming pc will be very similar to yours! :D Have you overclocked your 4670k yet?

 

and also, is it worth paying £10 more for 1866 memory or should I just overclock my 1600 mhz to 1866 mhz?

If you go for the Asus, it is cheaper on Amazon:

I'm buying everything from Scan.

No I wouldn't pay the extra 10 pounds. I just got them because they were 1 euro more expensive. What concerns the i5 4670K I'm not planning to overclock it since I'm afraid to break it. :P

If you like both the designs go for the cheaper one.

Id watch a unboxing of each side by side and compare so you see everything. i say this as my old MSI had a brown PCB which I didn't notice from the pictures, I now have an asus gtx 680 it looks such a beast and the backplate is so sexy however you don't see the red lines which works out for me as my build is black and white.

so ye look at the side of the cards and top of the cards as that's what you see when its in your system.

 

PS The Asus card looks awsome, id totally pay the extra for it, but peoples preferences vary.

What are you temperatures like with the H100i + 4670k? And do you have push-pull config or only two fans and if two fans, do you have them on top of the rad or on bottom of the rad?

My temps stay around 50 degrees when stress testing the CPU only on AIDA64 while the Corsair fans are set to the Performance preset. I have a pull config. The fans are above the rad which allows me to clean the rad easier. Believe me, after just one week of use that thing is dirty as hell.
