Pros: Consumer-priced card with hardware double precision. Using this card for signal and image processing not gaming. Incredible value - same performance as workstation cards at a tiny fraction of the cost.

Cons: Okay, so for a whole lot less money, we lose ECC. Also, spent a frustrating few hours wondering why double precision performance was poor. You need to MANUALLY enable hardware doubles in the driver settings. Hope that EVGA addresses that in updated drivers....

Pros: Cheap, kinda pretty

Cons: Difficult to install - you have to reach under the fins to push the pins. Doesn't work well - statistically indistinguishable from Intel cooler for Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz. I'm wondering if Thermaltake is having quality issues, or if something else is going on. Lots of folks seem to think it's 10 deg C cooler than stock, but a few of us see little or no difference from stock.

Pros: Simple to install and enable in X12SPA-TF workstation board. Instantly recognized and enabled by BIOS. Allows upgrade to Windows 11

Cons: Took a day or two longer to arrive than I had hoped (but on time from vendor's promised date)

Overall Review: Nice - bought it on sale, saved a bunch of $.

Pros: Surprisingly good cooling. On a 4.2GHz i7-3930K, previously cooled with Intel water cooler, temps dropped from 80C at CPU package to 62C at CPU package. I had expected maybe 5-10C. Installation was very straightforward, one person, no complications, 30 minutes, being very careful, cleaning thoroughly with isopropanol.

Cons: Corsair link software really required for use (to set fan profiles), but never mentioned in installation guide. USB not recognized by Win 8.1 (see this to do the workaround: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=124044 ). Fans are not quiet - I'm probably going to end up replacing them.

Overall Review: Normally, I'd wait longer before writing a review, but the pros and cons on this unit are so clear that I am not bothering to wait. If other issues arise, I'll edit the review
