Founders editions run too hot and will not reach the max 1987mhz boost.
Aftermarket ones run cooler, but are overpriced.
EVGA ones might be cheaper due to ppl returning them

Pic, my 1080.

relax, don't fall for the trolls lol

Why is the MSI Gaming Z so much more expensive than the Gaming x?

It doesn't matter. Get one that fits in your case. Barring egregious manufacturer defects in the lot you bought it from, it's just a matter of brand loyalty and gaymur LED ricing for your transparent-paneled case.

Gigabyte.

MSI tends to charge a lot for their factory overclocks. Or maybe there's some different voltage control on it.

get the evga 1080 from evga and use their 90 day step up program by paying the difference between it and the 1080ti in january.
the founder edition has no fire hazard because it is based 100% on the nvidia's manufacturing process. the 100 dollar premium on it you will recover when stepping up to the 1080ti
