Pros: - The fan that comes with feels high quality and is very quiet for a default fan. - Comes with a RGB LED strip with many other accessories - Very nice aesthetics

Cons: - RGB doesn't sync with Asus aura. Stuck in blue.

Overall Review: - Installations is not the best but it's quite good. no complaints there. - Aura sync doesn't work no matter what I tried. It's just locked in greenish blue. So much for RGB. - You might hear some bubbles kicking in when you first start it up, but don't panic as it's a usual process. - The top glass tube comes dangerously close to the tempered glass on my case (Phanteks shift) so make sure to check the height clearance. They are very fragile so handle with care.

Pros: - Excelent cooling ability. - Pretty lights - LGA1511 support for later upgrades. - Nicely braided tubing

Cons: - Copper plates gets very easily scratched - Unclear instructions. The backplate did not stay firm unless I used 3 washers for each holes (not included in the direction) - The biggest problem of all, the pump makes some very annoying rattling sound, The previous generation used to

Overall Review: Honestly, all cons are very minor with the exception of the rattling sound. I should be able to reduce the pump rpm in the link program, but it shouldn't come with the rattling pump by default. Morever, I'm having a problem having the pump recognized at all. Overall, Great item with minor flaws.

Pros: It's a great card. The strengths of this card are: 1. Running all games at max. 2. Surprisingly not that loud (unless you manually ramp up the rpm) 3. Gracious 4GB memory (Finally, I can use 4K textures on my bacon) 4. Price/Performance (I'm talking MSRP) 5. If you manually ramp up the fan to 100%, you can't hear your annoying gf/bf/parents. 6. Run a stress test and use the card to warm your room.

Cons: It also comes with cons: 1. The card seems to be unstable. I occasionally get my second 1080p monitor all pixel-shuffled. when I boot the system. It requires restart to work properly (hopefully). Switching the monitor around did not help. 2. Playing Skyrim with 2K resolution textures and ~60 other mods, It seems to struggle a lot. Framerates vary between 20-60 (v-sync on) and looking at the afterburner, you can see the core clock jump between 700-950 like crazy. I thought it was a heat issue first, but even when I bump up the rpm for the fan, the problem won't go away.

Overall Review: I would love to get a second one and watercool the card. However, at this price point, just get a GTX780. This card may not be appealing unless you are a cyrptominer.
