Pros: Slightly smaller form factor makes fitting in case much easier. Idles around 54 - under load runs about 80-ish with no discernible fan noise (see below).
Cons: Had to RMA first one due to a problem with the fan regulator -- for no apparent reason when sitting idle the fan would jump to ~5100 rpm and stay there - not even rebooting would reset it.
Overall Review: Awesome customer service. I received and installed the card on a Friday. By Saturday morning the fan problem had manifested itself. After going thru my usual bag of troubleshooting tricks I entered a support ticket with EVGA that afternoon, expecting to hear back from them no sooner than Monday or Tuesday. I was pleasantly surprised to get a response back that night, and continued communications throughout the rest of the weekend. As much as we'd like to hope every product we get is perfect, that's just not realistic. The real mark of a company is how they react to the problems. In this case EVGA could not have done any better.
