The model with the cyclone cooler is much better. The standard model is noisy.
 
How does this compare to 6850? my 6850 is having problems and was thinking about replacing...

*Edit* nvm, just read the last line in OP, got my answer...

I purchased this card with the cyclone cooler last month for the same price AR from Amazon. Since moving to TN I have to pay 9.75% sales tax on NE purchases.

Since the load voltage on this card is locked, the voltage control option in MSI Afterburner has no effect on the GPU core voltage. I put the card under 100% load and monitored the GPU core voltage at both +0 and +100 offset; it never changed from a maximum reading of 1.062V. Also the Power Limit (%) is grayed out. This is because the 650 Ti does not have the Boost Clock feature.

But even with the locked core voltage I was able to overclock the core clock to 1223Mhz and the memory clock to 1650Mhz, not too shabby. I left the fan on Auto. After an hour at full load the fan speed was at 37% and the GPU temp was 51C, cool and quiet.
