In general, its pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

The card was bought in the states, new 100%. There is a guarantee, but only native and valid in the states, so consider that it does not exist. I will open and change the entire thermal interface to a new one. For I think that it should be heated by 10 degrees less. I searched the entire Internet and did not find anywhere what thicknesses of thermal pads are there, if anyone has changed, write plz.

Pros

Looks to be of good quality. Massive radiator. Metal backplate. Meals 8+8. The whole system with it consumes 480w at the peak, I thought there would be more. The performance is super, even with beams it is quite possible to play in FHD and 2K resolutions.

Cons

Specifically, my copy out of the box is heated in full load up to 80-82 degrees in a closed case. There are 3 screws on the front for blowing in, 2 from the CBO CPU for blowing out from above + one more from above for blowing out and one behind for blowing out. That is, with flows, everything is in theory normal. The stone is not hot, so CBO keeps it in loads within 60-65 degrees. I put the card vertically, it began to warm up to 78, but at the same time the screws spin by 72-75% and this is no longer comfortable.
