The whole package - the reason the GTX970 is better than the 290/390 in my book - price/performance there is no real difference between those cards. But my god, the power consumption and the resulting heat/noise ... a 390 would drive me nuts.
The 3 fan ones (well, sapphire and powercolor at least) are very quiet, much quieter than Nvidia reference blowers, and the heat output from the backplate is nowhere near as bad as my last card (a GTX680)
It does seem like Heat and power use has only been a big problem for everyone since maxwell launched
