Pros: - 1950Mhz out of the box - have had no need to overclock as games pretty stable at 60hz and 4K. - upgraded from SLI 980Ti's and it's a considerable improvement that did surprise me! - cooling is impressive 35c Ambient = 55C GPU with Noctua Industrial fans in push pull at 1000rpm = Pure Silence stress testing for 2 hours. VRM cooling is also excellent due to design - EVGA support and Warrenty is the best. I have absolute confidence in the rare event I need to use it. - I had some audible pump noise on startup, but it disappeared almost immediately. I can only hear the pump now if I put my ear against the card with the side of the case off! - 5 eggs for product but minus one for newegg (see cons)

Cons: - Standard fan is a bit budget for my taste. Only 3pin as well. For a top of the line card that's a bit of a shame. - 120mm radiator is technically insufficient. Why cannot someone make a hybrid with a 240mm?! - Minus one egg (being generous) due to Newegg. This was shipped to Australia priority egg saver and it arrived in 5 business days which I think is excellent. But upon opening it only had two very small air inflated bags for packaging support. The inner GPU box was crushed on one side slightly even though the outer box was ok. Reason being it would have been sliding round loose inside with insufficient support. If you're offering to ship electronic items worth over $1000+ (or any value really) half way round the world PLEASE spend another 10cents and put in more packaging support! Credit to FEDEX who were very helpful and made notes, and were willing to submit a shipping damage claim if necessary. However after FedEx instructed to open the inner box the card itself was undamaged (EVGA packaging is excellent). Over the event still made me a bit nervous due to Neweggs fine print policy on shipping damage.

Overall Review: This card was not available in Australia and it actually worked out much cheaper and better value for money. SC hybrids were $1350 Aus compared to this at $1240 (inclusive of taxes & shipping). A much better card twin bios, cooling and non reference PCB. The risk was worth the reward I believe.
