Most Critical Review

Not For Most Small Form Factor Systems

MSI GeForce GT 730 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Low Profile Graphics Card N730K-2GD3H/LPV1
MSI GeForce GT 730 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Low Profile Graphics Card N730K-2GD3H/LPV1

Pros: Virtually silent

Cons: The description or specs for this card need to state that to accommodate its tall heatsink this card requires two expansion slots or enough space between the PCI-E slot where it will be installed and anything else in the PC case. I was unable to install this card in the system I originally purchased it for because the only PCI-E x16 slot was on the bottom of the system board and there was not enough space in the case between it and the power supply to accommodate the tall heat sink.

Overall Review: This card is not a typical low profile card. So anyone considering it will need to make sure the system it will be installed in can accommodate its large heatsink because it is not returnable for refund. Also, for anyone who typically removes the VGA cable from graphics cards when it is not needed, the heatsink on this card has to be removed to do that. And if you do that, it will void the card's warranty.
