Brand names seem to matter more for their after-purchase and warranty support. I've used a few ASUS products, adn they've all been great. But no experiecne with warranty shit.. but i guess that's a good thing.

Except in the cases of the custom designed cards, they're all the same with a different sticker slapped on it anyway... most manufacturers try to differentiate themselves by warranty type, bundle, etc...

They are working just fine. Still kind of runing hot even with a extra fan though. For some reason the first card which use to run under 80 degrees hits 90 now. But I left heaven running all night so that was the max temp it hit.
