Pros: This cooler works fine. It's silent even at 100% which is how I run it while gaming. My gpu never goes above 70c while playing FEAR at 1920x1200 with 2X AA and 8X AF all other video settings set to maximum. (Except soft shadows are off because it doesn't work with AA or so I've heard)
Cons: None. This cooler does a fine job of cooling my x1900xt oc'd to 662 core 775 memory. If you want better cooling out of a HSF on THIS gpu then stick your computer in a freezer. These gpu's just run hot, hot, hot!
Overall Review: I was like everyone else when I first bought my x1900xt. I flipped out when I saw my gpu temp over 90c while playing games. I thought I had a bum card. I had 2 6600gt's in sli before my x1900xt and those 6600's never broke 50c while under load. But after doing much digging I found out that the x1900 series gpu's don't even reach "thermal shutdown" until 120c! These gpu's just run super hot! I know, I know, the cooler you keep anything electronic the longer it will last. Yeah, that's great and all but we're not talking about a TV that you plan on keeping in your living room until your 70 years old. You know darn well that if you have the money to buy a high end gpu that your never going to have it in your system for very long. You'll upgrade to the new "ATI SUPER DUPER X55,000 XTXXX series" and this card will be sitting on a shelf in the basement with every other video card you ever owned collecting dust. You've spent the money on a high end gpu so enjoy it while you can!
