    Here are some benchmarks on temperatures for MSI
    http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages..._review,9.html

    As you can see it has 69C already on stock Core Clock and Memory Clock speeds. In order to run it cooler the reviewer pointed out that one has to boost up fan speed to 60%, which will make card also louder.

    ASUS on the other hand runs 60C on stock Core Clock and Memory Clock speeds. Moreover, ASUS stock Core Clock and Memory Clock speeds are higher than MSI. That's like 9C difference without overclocking.
    As I already mentioned my card never goes above 65C while overclocked to 2070 Mhz Core Clock and 8400 Mhz Memory Clock with 45% fan speed. Not only it keeps temperatures cool it is also quiet.

    Just want to point out that before I purchased this GPU I was considering MSI, EVGA, Gigabyte, ASUS, Zotac. I did a lot of researching and came to conclusions that ASUS just meets all my requirements in the GPU:
    1. Good overclocker (which btw any 1000 series does the same)
    2. Cool temperatures
    3. Good looking (IMHO, ASUS did the best job here on 1000 series GPU's. In other words, it is the only company that listened to consumers and made the GPU without any accent colors and made it pure black with RGB lighting)
    4. Quiet

    Ok I know your are responding to what I posted even though you didn't quote it as such..so let me elaborate.

    http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages..._review,9.html

    http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages..._review,9.html

    I posted the exact same review links you did. In fact let me go one step further.

    http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=a...=file&id=22443

    ok in this chart the MSI card tops at at 79c

    http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?ct=a...e171002a287bc1

    In this chart the Asus card tops out at 74c

    5c difference, not sure where you are getting 9c from. My point was that neither card is Temperature bound in overclocking situations, as the voltage is the main limiter in overclocking. Both will get between 2000-2100 mhz with manual overclocking. There is no special binning done. These aren't Asus Matrix or Msi Lightning cards. If the Asus somehow became cheaper than the MSI one, then I would say buy that one. Vice versa. the experience doesn't change, they are both great cards, but not worth paying $30 more for one over the other atm.

    look at the fan % that is listed

    Asus is running at 46% speed on its fan

    MSI is running at 39% on it fan

    sure they might be closer if you actually averaged then but we are nit picking over very minor temp differences which aren't worth almost 8% of the products cost. Again I will say it...If The Asus Card Was Cheaper I Would Get It since they are both very good cards.

    Where do you even see Fan speed in those links?


    First of all, I have NON-OC Edition of ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1070, which is also cheaper and is in exact same price as MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X. I chose NON-OC because what's the point of getting OC edition if I will be overclocking my GPU anyways and there is literally no difference between OC and NON-OC edition except stock Core Clock Boost speed.

    Second of all, I was comparing to my personal results and personal experience. If I don't overclock this GPU then my fans barely even hit 40% mark and the temperature stays 60C and sometimes even below.

    In conclusion, since ASUS ROG STRIX GTX 1070 8G (keep in mind NOT OC edition the OC edition goes with "O8G") costs exact same amount of money as MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X, I choose ASUS because it has better cooling and it looks much better. As I said in all my previous comments, if you don't care about the "Aesthetics" in your case and you don't mind those extra few degrees on your GPU then by all means.

    ASUS met my requirements this time and I chose this card. I used to have EVGA, Gigabyte and MSI in the past and all of them were great. This is my first ASUS GPU. Keep in mind, when I had 900 series I went with EVGA (GTX 960) and Gigabyte (GTX 970) because they were better than ASUS at that point. ASUS has changed their design with their new ROG Strix generation. This is not the same Strix from 900 series.

    First I typed 74 and 79, it should be 64 and 69...also look closely at the pic of the MSI afterburner charts they have listed. on the right hand column second graph down is fan %. Now honestly we don't know how many rpm the fans themselves run unless its hidden somewhere I don't see. The chart doesn't list it. But even if we look at the max number listed above it the asus card runs a tad bit faster on fan speed than the MSI one. I said a tad. 2%. its also 7% cooler. But that doesn't affect performance in any way. Yes it runs cooler, yes it is all black. Yes you love yours. But do I think its worth 30 dollars more, no.

    look at both of these reviews.. both the MSI and asus card are within 1c of each other while both using less than 45% fan speed. I know the asus one listed is the OC one, but lets be honest here. OC cards just have the bios adjusted upwards slightly in frequency. The hardware 99% of the time is exactly the same. Here we are comparing apples to apples. They are both excellent cards, buy the cheaper one.

    update. The Strix card you have is listed at https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-...strix+gtx+1070 for $399 with 20 dollar rebate. that puts it at same price as the MSI card. Flip a coin...either will be a good purchase.

    But that's why I said that I chose NON-OC edition since there is no point paying those extra $30 for just having BIOS to be locked at higher Clock Speeds. I'm overclocking all my cards. Also, both cards are in the EXACT same price here in Canada if there are no ongoing sales.

    In fact right now on Amazon.com ASUS is cheaper by $50

    MSI
    https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GAMING-GT...i%2Bgtx%2B1070

    ASUS
    https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-...=asus+gtx+1070

    As for fan speed on ASUS. Here is one of my personal video's that I recorded when I played on AOD BF4 Rush night. Back then I did overclock only Core Clock to 2050 Mhz but left Memory Clock running at 8000 Mhz. You can see in the video that the fan speed is around 43%-44% and temperature stays at 62C - 63C. Now with Memory Clock overclocked to 8400 Mhz, I'm getting 45% fan speed and 65C.

    As stated, it's only the FTW versions that were having problems. The basic versions are literally just the Nvidia versions with EVGA faceplates and warranties.

    $400? That's just enough for a 1070. That's the absolute best you can get with that budget.
    Any 1070 will do!
