I've run 12x Asus STRIX GTX 1070 OC for the last 6 months straight with multi-algo mining.  Zero issues.  They run cool and quiet in my living room.  I barely notice they are there and they run under 60C at 40% fan.

MSI >>> ASUS

ASUS cards are the worst. Loud AF, performs much worse at same settings, runs hotter and 2 out of my 7 ASUS gpus were faulty.

haha wow you have a12 mining in your living room? nice. does it get hot in there?

The only difference on the card are the out of the box OC and the cooling solution between the four the ASUS GEFORCE GTX 1070 ROG STRIX has the best of the both with 1860 MHz boost clock in OC mode and DirectCU III with Patented Triple Wing-Blade Fans which is 30% cooler than the Double Patented Wing-Blade Fans, but you might also want to consider the ASUS GEFORCE GTX 1070 DUAL with 1797 MHz Boost Clock in OC mode and Double Patented Wing-Blade Fans but at a much cheaper price which is a bang for your buck.
