Posted May 28, 2017 Dont go Gigabyte. Jayz's (such a mouthful) Aorus i.e. Gigabyte 1080ti video showed how weak is the material for the cooler. In my RX 470, this problem is not as prominent, but the fans do get loud, like a hair dryer during games.

Posted May 28, 2017 If prices are equal, I'd go with MSI personally. Gigabyte's quality is good, but their service is shit if you ever have to RMA something. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
