The Asus Strix GTX 960 provides better cooling and is more silent than the MSI 2GD5T.


Go for the Strix.

As you are a asus expert, you wrong and you shold know it.
Asus Strix is hoter that msi.

ASUS
+ backplate, fan-stop technology, nice look, quiet, metal shroud around fans
- single 8 pin connector (can be advantage for other, though), worse OC of them all, also the slowest of those 3 in tests, VRMs are exposed and more prone to overheating

MSI
+ TwinFrozr cooler , fan-stop technlolgy, quieter and cooler than ASUS, OC capability (better than ASUS, tad worse than GIG), LED dragon&MSI logo (if somebody fancies that, also you can programme its behaviour from desktop), VRMs are heatsinked, just purely beautiful (subjective , cheapest of them 3
- no backplate, plastic fan shroud (although really it doesnt mean much, heatsink and heatpipes are MUCH better than in previous TF4 so shroud is more like cosmetc feature)

Of them I decided to go for MSI. For one, that I have soft spot for MSI cards, had 5870 Lightning (TwinFrozr3), had 670OC (TF4), so now TF5 was my first choice. Also, I LOVE fan-stop technology, I spent much effort to quieten my PC and now in idle its really dead silent. Its design and OCing won me over ASUS, and Gigabyte was just too.. too much... those extra few mhz on OC are not worth such behemot constantly spinning its fans in my case.

You got any source to back that up? We are not talking about the GTX 960 Gaming 2G (Twin Frozr), but the cheaper MSI GTX 960 2GD5T model from which I heard wasn't a great model.
