    MSI GTX 1080 AERO OC vs EVGA GTX 1080 SC

    I'm going to buy a GTX 1080 and i plan on overclocking it and water cooling it, which one is better? i know that the AERO OC has a higher clock rate and tends to thermal throttle a bit more but since i'm water cooling and overclocking anyway that doesn't really matter. Space is also not an issue.
