AORUS can eat more power. Your whisper can take 3-4 cards w/o system consumption. Armor is ok here for me

Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB or the Special Edition. Get which ever is cheaper. The Special Edition cards also have annoying blue LED fans that can't be turned off.

SAPPHIRE NITROs are amazing cards they use less power and are really custom bios friendly but only if you find some cheap deals because roi is the most important part of mining.

I dont like MSI and never try Gigabyte. Sapphire cooler but if i can pick, i sure go to PowerColor because after few testing with what I've got, PowerColor more stable and lower watt than sapphire though hotter. Ah, I forgot no option for PowerColor. Aakakakakakakkakak.

I like MSI and have a few armors, they are bare bones but just what you need for mining rigs.

Sapphire are ok, but if one goes bad you may have a hard time with RMA as they are really picky. No matter what if you do need to send one in never admit to mining as they do not like to honor warranties on cards that have been mined on.

I have a few Gigabyte cards too, but they consistently seem to produce lower hashrates then comparable cards from other manufacturers.

Very true.
Se with hynix 30.8  - 31.5 .
+ with Hynix 30.5

Don't buy MSI Armor or Gaming x if they have hynix memory. Some don't reach 2000, very bad performance ~28mh with good hynix timings from polaris bios editor.
