A version overheated, dies after about 6 months to 2 years.
Version B has a cool, sometimes overheated yet and there are really many reports of random onset distorted sounds, sound failure and driver problems.
Personal Experience:
I had at that time trying to get through the vendor support, then there was no more, and then answer was "disappeared" the company. I have researched really long. There are instructions on possible additional cooling solutions that löttechnische exchanging capacitors and for exchange of op amps .. if you want to. Only one really knows what it was never on. There are, or were sometimes Infratotbilder the map which areas particularly overheat ...
Sometimes the smears from easy On occasions, the Sound menu does not respond. Version A has stressed the subwoofer with a helicopter sound that had once aroused the whole house with me without fault of their own.
Conclusion:
Does the card, everything is great, but the chance is here really great that you have a lot of trouble and work.
There are other cards that seeeehr are also very good - no hassle.
If the card has no radiator factory, then send back immediately! The dies definitely.
