Works Great - Stays Cool
Pros: I have bought MSI products many times in the past, but am not loyal to them based on name brand. They tend to have the lowest price when I go to look. I did purchase this one however specifically because of the onboard cooler. I had read many reviews about the stock coolers for the cards allowing them to run very hot. This one does not. Runs nice and cool.
Cons: Nothing
Works great!
Pros: Bought this for my son, at Xmas. Been very solid. No issues, we assembled all his parts on Xmas Day and everything has been rock solid since. Highly recommend MSI. I have bought many things from them. Rebates are always very prompt also. ; ) ; )
Cons: None
Fantastic!
Pros: I have had this chip overclocked to 2.8GHZ for 6 months now, with Air Cooling. Great Chip!! Bought this one waiting on the Quads to drop in price..
Cons: None.. Small Cache I guess. But no real effect as far as i can tell.
Fantastic Card for the Money!!
Pros: I bought this card over 6 months ago. As a temp solution until the 8800's were down in price. I am a serious gamer, and loved this card. I just replaced with a 8800GT that is much stronger, but unless your playing FPS games, stick with the 8600 GTS.. It runs GREAT!
Cons: None
Excellent!
Pros: Great Board, in every respect for me. Great Overclocker! I have had this board now for at least 6 months, overclocked, and I have had zero issues.
Cons: None
Good Case for the Money
Pros: Great Case for the money. The from Image and the very unique lighting mechanism is intriguing. We'll see about longevity for that part. Case feels solid, and good finish, and has Card Slot tool-less system. Case hase 120MM fan for rear and smaller fan cut-out for the top. So far it is very nice case.
Cons: Wish it had come with the 120MM fan for the rear. I know.. Being picky. Also tool-les HD installation would have been great to match the tool-less card installation.
