People's opinion on the Corsair H50

theubersmurf · Dec 31, 2011

Mostly I'm interested in people's opinion of the fan. Did you swap it out? Or did you stay with the stock fan? I'm going to lap it before I put it in my system, but I'm curious what people did with it.

i think the fans good, i have a push and pull setup, so mine stays pretty cool, running my 1090 at 4.2 gigz 24/7 idea at about 30C

When I had one I used the stock fan. They are of decent quality. Like Marineborn said I added another fan for push pull. Temps were where I wanted them to be.

I don't have an effective pwm splitter, I have a scythe pwm fan, 24-110 cfm 11-36db I plan on using, or I think will work better than the stock fan. Or at least that's the plan at the moment, barring indication of something better to do. I just lapped the surface, and I've gotten a mirror polished shine on the copper plate (well, nearly, it's not buffed, but 1000->2000 grit paper, can see images in it, but with striations from the sandpaper)

I use teh stock fan with mine. Seems to have decent pressure, and low noise. Adding a similar second fan will go a LONG way.

What about screws for a second fan? Can I get screws from Corsair? Or did you improvise something?

Stock fan here also, but havent been using the cooler as a whole in a while since switching to a loop. VERY quiet and keeps stuff rather cool. May switch back.

Just remove two screws from the included one. Take them with you to the hardware store, and buy a couple of new ones for about $0.50. I just happened to have a couple of matching ones already.

I've got the H50, H70, H100, and now the Antec AMD H70 clone. I got lots of extra parts.

Gonna try the H100 out today.

Or just use two screws on each fan. Has always worked for me.
