Sadly I live in an area where most of them are scams or overpriced.

 

A new one basically cost slightly less than what a non A chip 2070 cost if not more for the high end one. The two I mention is no doubt the more expensive one for 2070 but not by a huge margin.

 

I only use 2 monitors and the MSI one is cheaper, would you say the Aorus is still a better choice?

The Aorus has a longer warranty and superior cooling, yes :)

Given the Aorus has 3 fans, I'm going to guess it is that one

No reason to get a 2070, get a used 1080 or 1080 Ti instead.

MSI RTX 2070 GAMING Z or the Aorus RTX 2070 XTREME?

 

Just wondering which one have a better cooling. MSI one is slightly cheaper.

MSI's can boost higher at 1830mhz, compared to the Aorus's 1815mhz. 

 

However other than that the Aorus has a 4 year warranty from Gigabyte compared to the MSI's 3 year warranty, it also has 3 fans so cooling will probably be superior, and it has a tonne more display connections.

I once did the unthinkable, back many headphones ago...

I split an audio split, again
