I am using the MSI Gaming X and it's great. Peaks at around 67 degrees celcius on full load at about 40% fan speed. Overclocks well, and even the software is great. I would recommend to anyone.

The EVGA GTX 1070 SC is nothing particularly special. The cooler is better than the reference, and it has a meager factory overclock, but I don't think there's more much to it than that. I know and trust EVGA's support, though.

 

The Zotac AMP seems to be a much higher-end GTX 1070. If Reddit is to be believed (I can't seem to verify it anywhere else of course), it has an 8+2 phase power delivery, which puts it around the same level of the EVGA FTW card, and may improve overclocking results.

 

As far as support I don't think I've ever heard anything bad about Zotac. They're smaller than EVGA/MSI/Gigabyte/etc., so it's natural they don't have as much of a reputation. I can't vouch for them myself, though.
