Excellent for SFF
Excellent card! I originally bought a 3080 FE for my SFF PC. That was a big mistake. They way the exhaust was set up caused the card to cook in its own heat. I ended up going with this with a more traditional cooking set up, my thermals dropped by 10 degrees! The card is quiet and cool and really performs! It also helps that the card only need 2 8 pin PCI cables for power vs 3 that a lot of the AIB cards have.

Solid Card though a bit overpriced.
Quality, Fast, over priced. Took nearly 3 years for the prices to drop to a somewhat reasonable price, however it has met all my equipments for gaming and video and photo editing.
