So, I'm thinking to pick up a 7870. The R7870-2GD5T/OC is the cheapest model, it supports overvolting and I like how it looks (the cooler reminds me of Twin Frozr and I love black PCB's). Does anyone have this card? But how's the cooler? Are the temperatures good? Are the fans noisy? I could pick up a Gigabyte 7870 but it's quite a bit more expensive and I don't really like it's looks, but if the cooler is better, then maybe I should go with Gigabyte? If you have other recommendations, please tell me. Thanks!

Looks very similar to the Twin Frozr version, fans are the same, and the heatsink looks pretty similar.
