Which 6800GT is better for overclocking: eVGA or Leadtek?

[UzairH]

Leadtek's heat sink is massive when compared to the reference cooling solution on the eVGA 6800GT. Which one runs cooler, and will allor for greater overclocking? Also which has the quiter fan? And above all, which one is more reliable, overclocked or not? Thank you.

i wanna say eVGA just because i had the leadtek and it didnt OC well- OCing is mainly luck of the draw how good the core/ memory chips are. i dont know about the evga one, but the leadtek was very quiet- i would go leadtek over evga just because leadtek is good about RMAs- why not go BFG?

They are both good cards, I would go with the leadtek since it seems to have a better HS/F.

If you're overclocking RMAs don't really matter much. I'd go Leadtek or if the eVGA is cheap enough, slap an NV Silencer or Zalman on an eVGA and go to town.
