I'm happy

Pros: I work with point cloud data so I can't comment on this card for gaming, but when viewing multiple laser scans our cards take some heavy loads!! You can hear the load and the fans kick into high gear -- a great way to test what these cards can really handle. At work we use some of the latest 3 and 4gb nvidia cards, while easily eating 32gb of ram like nothing. Point cloud data loves ram! I bought this card for my "work at home" pc and so far it handles data pretty close to our 3gb cards at the office. Though I can hear the card kick into high gear, its remains smooth and quiet while doing so. I chose Gigabyte, because their reputation is good. I own one of their Z77 motherboards and have been more than happy. I don't care for the VGA display port on this card (probably never use it) - but I do appreciate that Gigabyte covers its bases making their cards suitable for users of all types. The extra DVI and HDMI display ports on the back + my trust in their name is what weighed my choice to buy this over the competing Zotac and EVGA 2gb cards.
Cons: My expectations verses the actual benchmarks on the 650ti left me slightly disappointed. I was expecting it to cross that median - bringing it closer to the 660 that the 650 non ti card. When comparing the prices of each and knowing you get what you pay for, I guess I shouldn't be.
Overall Review: Wish I had the extra money for a 4gb 670 or 680 card, but I don't. I'm pleased with my purchase so far and would buy it again.
Loud - but could be the location

Pros: Fits the side of my Cool Master 692 Advanced. Its slim.
Cons: Coolermaster is great on building nice products - but the worst when it comes to fulfilling rebates. Its been months and I'm still waiting to hear back from them on not 1 but 2 rebates. What are the odds?
Overall Review: Love my case and its been super quiet running on all Cooler Master fans (5 to be exact). I added this one to the side of my case (fan #6) and this one fan is a LOT LOUDER than all the others combined. In all fairness, it might not be the fan but the location of the case where this fan is designed to go. Not a lot of room for air flow on the case's right side - so I'm guessing its creating some kind of back pressure and that is what "could" be causing excessive noise.
Quiet, Modular, Fair Price

Pros: Though others are saying its loud, mine is running very quiet. Can barely hear it even if I place my ear next to it. Having modular cables is a big plus. 750watts for me is plenty. I haven't received my rebate yet, but OCZ was one of the first to email me saying they received it and have approved it. They are on top of their game which makes me want to buy more from them.
Cons: The CPU power cable is short. Was hoping to cable manage it behind the motherboard, but this wasn't possible even with a straight vertical route from behind. Only a partial con: Rebate comes as an AMEX card (but I'll use it here at Newegg to buy some fans).
Overall Review: Cables are slightly stiff, but most others are too. Its modular so the inside looks clean (less clutter and I love that). Cables are sleeved. Overall I'm happy so far. What do people use this included carry bag for? I'm clueless why a PSU needs this.
Great Case - Great Price

Pros: Nice air flow. Plenty of room. Easy to install your hard drives. SSD adapter. Quiet fans. X-dock. Usb 3.0 ports. Case has sturdy legs that lift the bottom from the floor for improved air flow. Everything works as it should. I'm very happy with this case and it looks cool too!
Cons: I only received the one 2.5" adapter. The cover for the upper X-dock doesn't snap into place. It rests on top. Easy to lose if you move your case, so my thoughts are it could of been designed better. For this I'm going to "X-dock" it one egg. The bottom filter towards the front can easily tear if you pick your case up ... so be careful. PSU filter will require removal of the PSU. Wish it came with more fans but for the price and features I'm not going to complain. Advertised that all Meshed areas have dust filters. Keyword here is "Meshed". This does not mean included filters for the left or right side panels. Made in China :(
Overall Review: Cable management is great. Could of been a tiny bit better. Maybe I'm being picky. I'm using the Cooler Master Hyper 212. It barely fits. A right side upper fan won't fit as a result. Lower one will still hold a fan. The inside of the X dock surface has a rough texture too it. Keep stuff from sliding I guess. The button for the front LED light is small and might be hard to push for some. Not sure what my front fan size is. I'll have to check. A little more creativeness could of made this case even better. Like the ability to easily add more front fans and to replace those darn rivets for the upper hard drive cases with screws for removal. This would allow more air flow (if wanted) and/or accommodate larger video cards (if needed). Instructions are pictures with few words.
Smokes Tires !!

Pros: This thing might actually make you bacon and eggs. 7.9 windows experience. Windows animation can't finish playing before I'm greeted by the log in screen. Fast, fast, fast.
Cons: Instructions and web site were lacking. Maybe to some this doesn't deserve a minus one egg, but to me it does - since SSD are still newer technology to most. Example - it says it supports TRIM, but doesn't say if its automatic or needs to be turned on. I don't know how to find out. Shows up as 111 GB.
Overall Review: Comes with a bracket and screws for 3.5" slots, but its buried under the SSD foam holder. You probably won't see it and might think its not there. I found it after cutting out the UPC for a rebate. The bracket is blue in color. Speaking of rebates, theirs is more strict than other companies. Makes you think they really don't want to give you one. I haven't received mine yet ... so keeping fingers crossed.
Great Board !! - Has Many Options

Pros: I posted earlier with a negative comment. Gigabyte didn't deserve that (hopefully newegg will delete). Here is my revised review. First thank you to Gigabyte/Newegg support noticing my comment and coming through to help. My 51 memory error was due to ONE pin being bent. Possibly my fault. I was able to baby it into place using a magnifying glass and a needle. Now it works perfectly!! Love the LED! Love the alarm features for fans and temperatures (these can be set in BIOS or via supplied Easy Tune software). If you are asking what board to buy - this one has it all and is designed with features to fit almost anyone. You get all the advance features found in higher priced boards, plus more you won't find like Legacy PCI and every monitor option from VGA to HDMI and others. The 3D bios is a neat feature. Its a little slow, but its bios and one shouldn't need to use it too often -- so no lost eggs for that.
Cons: On boot up and when first opening applications, the onboard sound will play a small pop through my speakers ... like feedback of some sort. Its intermittent, but still bothersome and concerning when it happens. Con #2: MADE IN CHINA :(
Overall Review: The 3D bios is tricky, but using the keys is faster and smoother then the mouse. Less locks ups that way too. Use the onboard USB header for mouse and keyboard functions prior to installing the OS - as the onboard USB for the back requires the Intel drivers before you can use them. Email support though their web site is lacking since I still haven't heard back from them, though here via Newegg, Gigabyte came through rather quick. They gave me a support number and helped me right away. Memory was recognized as 1333, so I had to change that. Easily done through built in Bios Profiles that Gigabyte gives you. MOST OTHER BRAND motherboards are also recognizing 1600 ram as being 1333. You see these comments everywhere, so its not a big deal to find this the case with Gigabyte too. Truly wish it was made in America!! I would of paid more for it too.
