[Ryanseng]

What do you guys recommended? i was wondering which brand might be better at their cooling system and which might oc a little bit more stable. Pls comment to tell me. Thank you

From reviews and user experiences, Gigabyte G1 has amazing cooling solution and has great OCing potential. I'd get it over Asus.

Planning on getting a 970 Strix for my Z87, have the 980 Strix on my Z97 and love it, runs very cool and quiet

You can't go wrong with either of them. I would just get whichever is cheaper honestly.

Get the G1.

Comparison with ASUS Strix(I have used ASUS Strix review because it's the latest review with all GTX 970s compared):

The main reason why i sold my Palit Jetstream 970. Same issue with you, the build quality is really poor and it not sitting straight inside my casing. End up optimize for Gigabyte G1 Gaming version. Everything was good and great. Good build quality, nice LED, nice look, OC like a beast any many more.

To answer TS question, if you looking for best performer, Gigabyte G1 970 are your top pick. Just make sure your case are big enough to install this long card. Both Strix and G1 got great cooling though.

get the g1 because it runs cooler, has better OC'ing potential and has quite good price as well (at least in my country)
