Pros: I've had this card since 7/23 and I absolutely love it. I bought the EVGA GTX 780 SC w/ACX 3GB card back in February, and in March, I signed up to be notified about the 6GB card that would soon be available for Step Up. When they sent the emails out notifying that it was available, I never recieved an email. I didn't worry about it to much because I was using a 1080p 19 inch TV. However, on 7/10 I placed an order for the ASUS PB278Q 1440p monitor. If I wanted to "future proof" my system for at least 3-4 years on ultra, I knew I would need the 6GB of VRAM for 1440p. This was almost 2 months after my 90 day window for the Step Up program to qualify. I decided to call up EVGA and tell them that I was never notified for the availability of the 6GB model, so JAMES (I believe it was James) was nice enough to open a 3 day window for me to Step Up. This is why EVGA will always have my business for Video cards. Anyways, this is such a nice card. At 1440p, I come close to 60 FPS in most games. Personally, the way I have my mind set, is that if I spend more than $500 on a video card, I BETTER BE able to play EVERY game at max settings, whether it's 4-8xMSAA AND Ultra settings. Currently, I'm able to reach 1215MHz/7000MHz memory at 1.2 volts, and max temps are about 72c. I prefer to use the EVGA Precision X overclocking software. As for the benefits of 6GB, if gaming at 2560x1440/1600 or 4K (4K might be cutting it... Not enough graphic power), 6GB is definitely worth it. Also, I say go for it, because at some times, Newegg (and others) will drop the cards price close to the 3GB cards. For only a couple bucks more, why not just get it? But when it comes to games using more than 3GB, Watch Dogs and Titanfall are the only ones (currently) that hit about 4.5-5.5GB (1440p) with playable FPS... Titanfall is 60FPS, and Watch dogs averages about 30-50FPS.

Cons: Not really a con, but I ran out of room for the PROS :) As far as temps go with SLI and the ACX coolers, I guess you can say they are okay. When playing Crysis 3, the top card will reach 82c, while the bottom card is about 65c. Because there is so much heat, I HAVE to have the fan speed to about 90% max. Because of this, my case gets very hot, and very LOUD. I have a Corsair 750D case with excellent airflow. The front intake are the stock AF140 fans (I will replace with the corsair AF140 retail fans soon), and the bottom intake are two Corsair AF120 red LED fans. For the back exhaust, I have the retail AF140 fan, and the top exhaust is my H100i in push/pull. I eventually plan to shell out at least $400 on a custom cooling loop, but right now, I don't have the funds to spend. Now for the right power supply for GTX 780 6GB SLI. After reading reviews on the ASUS Strix 6GB model, they used about 650w under load. I would assume it would be the same for the EVGA versions. I currently have an Corsair AX860 (non i) that I chose for my first gaming rig, and I wanted to SLI later down the road with that option. 850w is the sweet spot for SLI. However, let me tell you that you will need more than 850w if you want to really overclock these. Plus, it won't really matter if you are running on air, because the heat will be an issue even at stock speeds. I tried to overclock both of my cards to 1202MHz, and my computer would restart in Crysis 3. I even tried lowering the GPU clock speed from 90, to 80. It would still restart because I was running out of wattage. Currently, I'm running stock speeds, but I can get about 60-70 on the core clock without any issue. But like I said, it will bring a lot more heat, and a lot more noise. Anyways, I prefer to run them at stock, because I'm scared to see what the electricity bill will look like if I overlock them for a while :)

Overall Review: To fully take advantage of the 6GB, SLI is definetly needed. Because of this, I felt as if I wasted money to step up to a 6GB card, and only use one. Yesterday, 8/16, I decided to add another card. I purchased it used off of [an auction site] for $480, and I'll get it 8/21. Because EVGA has great warranty for second hand users, I decided it would be best to buy it used, and get close to the 3 year warranty (plus a great price). If boughten used, the warranty starts from the time the card was shipped from the EVGA warehouse. So I'll have about 2 years and 9 months of warranty. Once again, this is why EVGA has my business for video cards. I'll give an update once I get time to test out how SLI improves FPS. The one thing I'm worried about for SLI, is the ACX cooling. Because these heatsinks blow the air inside the case (opposed to the blower/reference cooler that blows air out the back of the card), I'm hoping the top card won't get to hot. Overall, this is a fantastic card. Most people say 6GB is, and will never be need for games (EVER). However, I completely disagree. When I say I want to "future proof" my system, I'm talking about being able to play most games on ultra settings for at least 3-4 years to come. The way I think about having 6GB of VRAM is, "WE will never know how much VRAM will be needed in future games." Whether 3GB is enough, or you want the extra 3GB, it's up to you... But I highly recommend 6GB for 1440p and above, or multiple monitors. Because I will soon be using SLI, and when money won't be an issue, I really want to get two more PB278Q monitors for 4320x2560 (portrait mode). But for now, SLI is definitely needed to take advantage if the 6GB. EDIT*** these cards are still the best out there for the money. The card I purchased off [the auction site; I cant list it here :( ] (for SLI) arrived yesterday, and so far so good. I have an ASUS Maximus VI Hero motherboard that is SLI compatible. However, with SLI enabled, they only run at x8. Anyways, SLI makes a huge improvement at 1080p. But because I'm using 1440p monitor, I prefer my games at 1440p. At 1080p, SLI will crush every single game on the market at MAX settings. So far, the only games I've really tested with SLI, was Crysis 3, Battlefield 4, Metro: Last Light, and Tomb Raider 2013. At 1440p, Metro averaged about 48FPS, only about 5FPS over a single card. I'm still new to SLI and getting used to all the scaling, but in Metro: LL, the game was very "studdery". Once I get everything figured out, I'll make another edit. When playing Battlefield 4, I can finally MAX out the settings, as well as 130% on the resolution scale, for a steadily 60FPS. In battlefield 4 with a single 780, I would dip down to the 40's (maxed out, with 100% resolution scale). I'm trying to get a bunch of videos up on YouTube comparing the gameplay and FPS from a single card to 2-way SLI, so I'll have them up in a bit. Check out my videos, and/or subscribe.

Pros: I have had this fan controller since October. I purchased it because I went custom cooling and needed 7 fans for my three radiators in my 750D. I have all 7 fans connected (one is using a "Y" fan splitter). The lights are the fans are a plus, but not really needed in my opinion. They do add some "Bang" though! BLACK CABLES!!! Thank you NZXT! I previously owned the Sentry 2 Fan Controller (the touch screen one), and they had standard red, black, and yellow cables. They were absolutely ugly. I had the Sentry 2 when I owned the Corsair C70 case, so you could see them routed through my case. But now that I have a 750D, they can't really be seen, but it is still a plus for the black cables. You can probably connect 18+ fans on this controller (using 3 fan "Y" cables).

Cons: Non really. But it would have been nice if they didn't make drive bay part so long... Maybe half or less would have been nice. I own an XSPC RX360 Radiator (thick radiator), so in my case I can't have a drive bay in the top spot. I'm thinking about cutting it in half, so that way I can place it in the top, and have room for a DVD Drive. (Does any of this make sense?)

Overall Review: I am not sure if this information is correct, but I think I know how to tell the RPM of the fans. If you see on the front of the fan controller grill, you can see a bunch of different lines lined up on each knob (lever). When the knobs are on the lowest, they run at 40%, and max, 100% (duh!). But every line is 10%. I keep my fans around the 60-70% which is roughly 1000RPM for my fans (XSPC stock fans, but im going to upgrade to SP120 Quiet).
