What I like.
I like the clean look of the Corsair products, thats why theres quite a few of their products. The Asrock MoBo is very nice, the Bios is very easy to understand, and there was no reason to open the manual. The Video Card runs flawlessly and crushes any game I've tried with settings maxed (1900x1200). The H100 was a buy based on looks more then heat, however I can't imagine a cooler doing a better job. With the CPU EASILY overclocked to 4500mnz, My temps have remained below 60c with 24 hours of Prime. I could go much higher in the OC, but I like to leave the Voltage low, 4500 is the lowest OC I've tried, and eventually I'll try for a bit more, but for now I'm going to leave it with this modest OC. The Case appears(See What I Don't Like) to be of unmatched quallity. I've build with Antec, and CoolerMaster HAF products befor, and the Corsair 650D puts them both to shame.
What I don't Like The Case, So I love the case aside from 1 small feature. The High-Medium-Low fan controller switch died after less then 1 week leaving my 4 CPU Radiator Fans OFF. I didn't even notice it, and played some games and noticed my Temps going up to 70c which was higher then I would like it... Thats when I noticed it. The Motherboard/Case selection didn't allow enough space for me to use Push/Pull fan combination inside the case, as the RAM slots got in the way. I ended up putting 2 fans on the outside of the case which I do NOT LIKE. I will likely be buying 4 SLIM 120mm Fans so that I can put them all inside. I had to cut a small hole in the mess on the top to pass the connectros for the 2 external fans.. I'm a huge fan of CLEAN and organized look, and this part drives me half mad. I wish I would have known.. Lastly everything in my base is black and red, besides my memory... its blue... a small consideration, which I've thought a mistake for more then the astetic reasons.. I've read that memory speed does little to help proformance. I could have gotten 1600mhz ram in red for half the price.
