The H50 is a good cooler and a nice alternative to air. HOWEVER its not really true water cooling......well it is but it doesn't perform to the same level as a custom loop. If you had a stock heat sink I would say "yeah go for it!" but since you are already running a DK then its not much of an upgrade.

for me it was a considerable upgrade over my megahalem. As far as I know the Megahalem makes the DK squeal. :eek:

Something must have been wrong with it then man. Honestly the H50 gets good temps but it doesn't blow away air coolers. Its just a nice alternative. Anyway this guy is getting 18c at idle with an OC. How much cooler you think he needs to be? :laugh:

rockleez · Feb 20, 2010

Lol i thought my 18-19C is normal and what everyone gets

BTW, in case any of you AMD users are not aware of this I found a MUCH better bracket for the H50 than the plastic one thanks to the guys over at Overclocking.net:

CWCH50-AMDBRKT - AMD Bracket for Corsair Hydro Series H50

Already put my name on the notification list since I detest the plastic one in a BAD way even 'tho it would mean tearing everything apart again. :cry:

Currently ebay stalking a H50 with poor tags and badly spelt auction title

no bids thus far only 1 and half days left so hopefully no one else looks through every result from "heatsink" and finds it XD he he

Well in his case I don't know :laugh:

My Megahalem cooled my i7 perfectly bro, got temps as good as my monster WC setup back then. Maybe it didn't perform good on AMD. :confused:

I'm going to use a H50 on a HAF922 case. Does anyone know if mounting it to the case's top fan placement is a good idea for hot air exhaust ?

Kinda akward, but just might work.

See my specs. Its a bad Idea. Rear mount as an exhaust fan with a push pull config is the only way to go..

Just got mine installed tonight, LOVE IT! Ive got it setup in the rear with a "push/pull" setup. Temps idle around 21-24c. Havent load tested yet, will tomorrow, too tired tonight. Will post some pics also. :rockout:

Went to Frys today.... Bad move, spent A LOT OF MONEY! Got the H50 on sale $69.

Glad you like it. What cooler did you have before and what were the temps? I personally think it's a great investment. no maintenance just a simple and pretty effective water cooler.

rockleez · Feb 21, 2010

I guess i wont switch to this then as my 100%load temp is 25C only

its not even hot in your bedroom in your chip shop lol..its actually quite cold in there! only downstairs thats hot.

rockleez · Feb 21, 2010

Well i think its quite hot and its not like the case is on the outside, its kinda enclosed by 3 walls kinda thing.. i guess the case fans are doing a good job?

sneekypeet · Feb 21, 2010

I know I'm late to the scene here, but I have a question.... Does the top on these come off the block? The black plastic cup with the corsair sticker?

Just wondering if allowing air to flow over that lil pump might help temps a degree or two.

man, you can even put the stock cooler back on if you have an aftermarket one. Sell your cooler put the stock one and make money :laugh:

Should be no problem, got the screws on the base plate to remove it. Some guy in EVGA forum has some pics which show it taken apart: Post #13 http://www.evga.com/forums/fb.ashx?m=90442

Yeah, so is the one you posted, been reading both now.. getting ideas. But even the guy from EVGA forum says it wasn't worth it. So I'll accept that and not bother/try :laugh:

Thats pretty cool! But mildly retarded. Why not just get a better pump and rad and do a proper loop?
