amazing buffer,
good heat dissipation(see other thoughts).
Looks weirdly awesome.
Cons: Not that powerful for price, was a bi*** to get working. Drivers on CD work better than the newest drivers.

Overall Review: The problem with heat people are having is not because of the bad fan (aside from the severe cavitation effect), but because of the case airflow. I'm running a Rosewill CHALLENGER case with 3 fans, and under severe load (running games that this card shouldnt; Borderlands, Crysis and Warhead, etc.) it only gets at most 52* c.
My sys-
AMD Athlon II 4400+

320 gb Toshiba SATA
Lite-on disc drive

Pros: Good picture and sound quality through hdmi, Easy to set up with drivers from Nvidia website, Compact design doesn't take two slots.
Cons: The fan makes awful noize!! can't even take it no more, hate this card! Even it spins all the way, the heatsink remains hot. Reaches temperature 80-85C in load. The heatsink design could be better for heat reduce purposes. I couldn't find driver for Windows 7 64x on supplied CD and wouldn.t suggest to download them on asus website, you'll get error messages, go to Nvidia websitefor them.
Overall Review: I've chosen this car because of thin compact design which is rare for low profile cards. Would fit in my Dell Optiplex 755, but this fan screws everything up. Asus has should been though more how to choose quality fans.
