Which cooler?

[Rainbrew]

Upon being convinced that a gtx 960 4gb isn't the greatest idea, I managed to find two used r9 280x's for less than the nvidia card. Both are still on warranty and are great deals but I'm unsure which cooler I should go for. One is a Sapphire Vapor-X Tri-X while the other is a Windforce 3x. Price is basically identical, thanks in advance!

Sapphire for sure,lower temps and lower noise

i'd say sapphire if it isnt a complete eye sore. i heard gigabyte's coolers can be a tad on the loud side.

And why would you go for it over the Sapphire? I have no experience with either cooler so arguments are welcome
