Pros: Runs very cool. (35-40c) Score is 7.1 on Win7 RTM.

Cons: The fan isn't silent when at 100% speed, but it's still far from the blow dryer attached to other choices. A solid case like the Antec Sonata Elite will dampen any noise completely.

Overall Review: Very stable without any special cooling @: Core: 805Mhz Shader: 2002Mhz Memory: 2432Mhz (I verified this as published on hardwarecanucks.) If you want to push the limits: Core: 829Mhz Shader: 2041Mhz Memory: 2644Mhz (Flakey after ~30 mins with only default cooling.)

Pros: n/a

Cons: For some reason Intel put a tiny little heatsink on their I/O hub and mine would run at 180 (f) degrees idling if I didn't direct a case fan at it. The Intel Desktop Utilities temperature warning would pop up under load.

Overall Review: If you look at other manufacturer designs for this board, the I/O hub typically has a huge heatsink. Some even go so far as to heatpipe it.

Pros: none

Cons: This product does not produce positive results on the EA6900 wireless router. I only get 4/5 signal strength bars on both the 2/5ghz networks with these attached, even while only a few feet away. (regardless of positioning) Attaching the factory antennas restores full signal strength in the same room.

Pros: Includes everything you need to attach to an EA6900 router.

Cons: Absolutely zero difference when using these vs. the built-in EA9600 antenna. Signal range and penetration are no different.

Overall Review: These are 32" tall and can only be situated in a completely upright position. They bend at a joint near the base, but this will result in them simply falling over due to the weight.

Pros: This works great with the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 docking station.

Cons: None; it just works.

Pros: The most exciting surprise was how quiet this card is while running anything at the highest possible settings.

Cons: none

Overall Review: "It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." - Ferris Bueller
