Pros: +Price to Performance ratio. +Cooler design places fans far back enough to allow my XFi sound card to be installed between the pair of 7950s without blocking the airflow. +OC'd to 1100 core and 1400 Mem on stock voltage all the while, temps barely break 50deg while benching Unigine Heaven for 2 hours on extreme in fullscreen 1080. Using the AMD Catalyst Control Center and auto fan control. + Very quiet while providing excellent cooling.
Cons: - Tuning software included caused instability. Had to uninstall in order to run above stock speeds despite trying different versions. - Cooler makes it a bit of a 2.25 slot card as the sound card is kinda wedged between these in Crossfire as only 2 slots are between the cards.
Overall Review: This is setup in an Antec Skeleton case. Your temps will likely be higher in a case with less airflow.
