Pros: Faster than 300 G Raptor stays cool in my HP Blackbird 002 Case Decent size (558 GB after the Format) best choice until SSD Price comes down to about $200 i would highly recommend this drive for windows 7 64 Bit and not a single bad sector or error was found thumbs up.....

Cons: none so far it does the job well and its faster than 300 GB raptor read below the difference i found between 300 GB and 600 GB Please Note i ran the tests many times and the seconds count were changed each time i switch back to raptor 300 so it is confirmed that this drive is faster than 300 GB version

Pros: First thing first the TEMP stays @38C in my Blackbird 002 case that is and once i increase the fan to 50% the temp goes down to 33C it shows how nicely the MSI curve tech works please note i upgraded from x480 Caliber edition GPU from Sparkle and the temp with caliber edition (with huge cooler)was almost 44C when idle and under load that GPU was hitting almost 66 and above but MSI lightening is much better than caliber edition.. in my opinion if you have large case than get this card ALSO the Display Port connection is way to go it supports 120HRZ refresh rate DVI HDMI AND DISPLAY PORT what a nice combination i like this card

Cons: not yet.....

Pros: I bought this mean monster to replace my GTX 275 o/c edition very nice packing and very good looking video card it is about half inch long than BFG GTX 275.but still not too heavy in weight the temperatures don't go above 62 c no matter what I do and @idle stays on between 44 c to 47 c (in my blackbird 002 case that is) the 3 cooler fans stays too quite even at 100%. No sound from the fans @stock 44% speed or on manual 100% I had to make sure the fans are spinning via MSI afterburner (lol) played different games on high settings and feels like watching a movie (silk smooth game play) Plus Life Time Warranty (Register With Sparkle USA Within 30 Days) Please Note It Is out of stock everywhere in USA it might not come back in stock Grab it if you can don't think twice I saw last 2 at local web site sold out within 10 minutes while I was watching I am Super lucky I got one from newegg there is no place like newegg for computer electronics and that is the fact guys not an opinion..

Cons: Makes a single "squeak" when computer boots yes I agree to that but only for 1 seconds may be its a warning sign that the Lion is out of Cage..OUT OF STOCK everywhere too bad Hard to find now yes 100% true otherwise no cons at all

Overall Review: strange thing that I have noticed is that this card has the mind of its own may be its alive for example stock fan speed is 44% and temp are 45 c start playing game and the fan will still spin at 44% but the temp will not go above 61 c and once you done playing temp will come down again to 45 or 46 c well that means the card does not even need more fan speed under load may be because the cooler is doing a superb job I don't know I might ask this to Sparkle (2nd) strange thing is if the fan speed is at 44% and temp is 45 c increasing the fan to 70% 80% or even 100% will not decrease the temp too much may be 2 or 3 degree after a while I don't think its a Con but thought should share it in the end I must say this video card is super hit GPU I love it..Good Luck

Pros: Gpu is powerful stays cool and almost silent

Cons: almost everywhere out of stock because its a good mid high end card

Overall Review: This thing stays 55 to 58 idle and goes way up to 72 under load on stock cooler in my opinion this figure is decent for a o/c card I was observing its temp and after 3 weeks of use I now can say well done BFG System Specifications Chasis -HP Blackbird 002 Tiger Edition Glass Panel Modified (Full Tower) Mobo_Evga 780i Sli Gaming Plateform Phonix Bios performance enhanced OS -Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Based System Cpu-Intel Core 2 Quad Extream Edition @2.7ghz (Factory overclockable up to 3.6ghz) Ram-Corsair Dominator DDR2@1066mhz Sli Ready overclockable 8Gb Total Gpu-Nvidia 9800GT Duel @Sli pci,x16 (2 Gpu,s Running@1GB) Physx Multi Gpu Only Gpu-Nvidia GTX 275 BFG O/C EDITION X1 Hdd C-Intel X25 M Sata Solid State 64mb cache 160GB Hdd E-WD Velociraptor 300GB 16mb cache @10000RPM Hdd F-WD Black 640GB 32mb cache@ 7200RPM Hdd K-WD Black 1TB 32mb cache @7200rpm Hdd R-Seagate 500GB 32mb cache @7200rpm Hdd-G External WD Black 1TB 32mb cache@7200rpm (Connected via Firewire 40
