The XFX 4890 Black Edition is pretty cool, but it uses the reference cooling/fan, which I don't think is enough too sustain the heat, plus it would make too much noise.

If if was me, I'd go for the equally-overclocked Sapphire 4890 Atomic.

But until the next-gen cards arrive, I'll survive with my Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X cards

. Good enough performance for now.

try taking off the expansion slot covers on each side of your card at the back of your case. Maybe add some case fans and do some cable management to improve air circulation.

Maybe hiroki04030 got info saying the other brands cooling factor is about the same with other brands... but asus=a$u$

Never found any official review on all brands. Please post any source if any found...
