R9 270x VaporX Hotter than Toxic??

[nVidea]

Everyone said that VaporX is much cooler than the Toxic model. But when I saw here. It says:

•Sapphire Toxic Radeon R9 270X 2 GB
Idle: 84 °F / 29 °C
Gaming: 140 °F / 60 °C

•Sapphire Vapor-X 100364VXL Radeon R9 270X 2 GB
Idle: 90 °F / 32 °C
Gaming: 163 °F / 73 °C

How so?

Toxic likely has higher binned chips with higher ASIC quality. Leaky chips run hotter.

I've seen the Toxic run cooler than the Vapor-X in another review too.

The Toxic uses a 3-Fan cooler that moves more cooling air than the Vapor-X's 2-Fan cooler.

Some people get them mixed up.

So what's real? Was I right getting Toxic over Vapor? (In a rare store I saw Toxic being sold about $2 cheaper than vapor.

On the temps you've given, for the same clock speeds, I'd get the cooler - the Toxic too.

You were right. The TOXIC uses a better cooler.
