What I expected
Pros: Color looks good, no ghosting nice sharp image. What a good deal. My 10 year old Acer monitor started dieing so I bought this one. It is what I expected from Aopen (Acer)

Better hope you don't need to RMA
Pros: When they work they rock. Looks good and performs great. Until don't
Cons: I'm on my 5th RMA for the same card thru MSI. The cards they replace them with are not tested, they couldn't be. They send other failed card and I guess they hope you get frustrated and stop trying to get one that works or they do you like this till the warranty expires. MSI have steadily moved up in there offerings. This reminds me of what happened to ABIT (remember them). I guess MSI has taken a page from ASUS's book. I've been building computers for a very long time and I am just tired of companies putting out produces and not standing behind them. 3 of the "Replacement" cards wouldn't even display any thing.
Overall Review: Maybe its time to contact the State's attorney and file a complaint. I have with the BBB but since they don't belong to them there's not much going to happen. I have 2 MSI motherboards and 4 MSI video cards but not any more. I guess I'll go with Gigabyte for all my next builds. Its just a shame. I've posted more details on OCN so hopefully no one else gets burnt
Works with linux
Pros: Works fine with Black Lab Linux. I'm getting around 650m steady. Intel's drivers work pretty good, had to tweak it a little. Since BLL is based off of Ubuntu and Debian it should work fine on those 2 distro's and others based off of them. Worked on a Toshiba Sat. D355-s7901.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Overall Review: Driver support is getting much better for Linux. I would recommend trying Linux. There are a few distro's out that are designed just for people who uses Windows. It doesn't spy on you like Win10, and if you think you can turn it off check out MS answer to that question.
Not bad at all
Pros: It fits my 17" Toshiba. I cooled down my hot Dual-Core RM-72 to about 66 degrees from around 79 degrees. Its not to loud, moves a good amount of air.
Cons: O lets see, to be picky the usb plug feels alittle on the cheap site.
One year update
Pros: Good board, overclocks like a champ
Cons: Unfortunately it died 1 year and about a month. Qcode of "00"
Overall Review: Trying to get an RMA from ASUS. Submitted RMA request about a week ago and no answer. I'll give them another 5 days and then just write them off and go with a Gigabye board.
Pleasently suprised
Pros: Cost, under-volt quite well, no baring noise at lower voltage. Very quite at full tilt
Cons: None
Overall Review: Using 6 of these on a XSPC EX 369 Rad and seem to be doing a good job.
