The Gainward cooler looks like it could be a bit better. No Gigabyte GTX 460? Its cooler is probably the best right now within the standard price range.

Solely as a brand, I would trust Asus more.

Im debating getting the ASUS. The MSI Cyclone and the MSI Hawk have the best cooling solutions on the market right now, but I don't know if you're looking for performance or cool-ness. The Gainward I believe (there was a review of it here I think...got the Performance award) is slightly faster than the ASUS, but DirectCU I have more faith in that Gainward's cooling solution.

The reference cooler is better than the external exhaust versions.

And to the thread starter, just buy whatever is cheapest in my opinion.
