Pros: Works quite well. I purchased this for deep learning applications primarily with Tensorflow. Previously I was paying for GPU time on a K80 and this outperforms that.
Cons: When not under load the GPU coolant pump makes a low frequency knocking sound. For me it's like nails on chalkboard but the sound is only slightly louder than the case fans. Under load the pump speeds up and the sounds goes away.
Overall Review: In hindsight, listening to the pump knocking, I would have bought the water block version instead and spend the extra on an external coolant loop. Not having the option of changing the pump on such an expensive card is too much of risk.
