Hi,

I would go with this one (EVGA addressed the VRAM overheat):
https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Optimized-Baseplate-Backplate-08G-P4-6686-KR/dp/B06X3QRQJR/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488265866&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=EVGA%27s+GeForce+GTX+1080+FTW2+With+New+iCX+Cooler

The different between the two cards are:
- The 2nd link is founder edition, where the fans comes from Nvidia it self with same - higher clock speed.
- The 1st link is EVGA with custom fans for better cooling, so you can overclock the GPU for higher speed.
