At first I had my doubts when I looked at the reviews on Amazon and Co.. Many said that the card would be noisy and would be very warm. I can not understand anyway.
I run the card on a PCI-E 2.0 slot, which makes the card less on no case. Only my CPU I could replace it with an Intel. Currently have a FX 6300, which slows the map definitely.
I can only recommend the card, for people who really have a very good ventilation in the housing and at least one water cooling for the CPU.
Supplement 25.12.14
Test After a few weeks, I'm not as convinced of the map. For demanding games like AC Unity or Dragon Age Inquisition, the map rotates to good and is very warm. Card is then after 20min at 80 ° + what is "normal" for the card. Unfortunately, the cooler of the AMD CPU are usually mounted so that the fan sucks the air from the direction of graphic card. If since then the 80 ° air is drawn in, the CPU is also very warm and begins to throttle. CPU is then usually warm even the 77-80 °.
I have decided not to put more in the PC and me to buy a console next year. This eternal upgrade, it just I'm tired. I have already purchased for the graphics card a new power supply for 70, which then makes 350 with the card. Now I have to get me a new body and a better CPU cooler. Then later a new board and CPU, and then it goes on and on.
So who needs a heater, the card can buy quiet;)
