Corsair H50 vs CoolIT SYSTEMS ECO-R120

[sansoo22]

I own the H50-1 which I bought at bestbuy for $60 and I must say I am not that impressed with it. Temps aren't really any noticeably different than that of my Xigmatek Dark Knight.

The mounting system was easy to me, although I used my x-brace off of my Dark Knight instead of the plastic one from Corsair. I replaced the original fan and added a second fan in push/pull config. I did have to replace the shin etsu TIM because of a dead mobo. So that may have something to do with it.

I haven't researched the CoolIt ECO coolers yet but I can say that a simple search for "h50 high temps" on google turns up a lot of posts with people not seeing a significant drop in temps over mid level air coolers like the dark knight.

Depending on the pricing of the CoolIt Vantage I may be getting it to replace my H50. Hope this helps you decide.

Corsair PSU's is actually made by Seasonic. Corsair is just office,they aren't manufacture,because they don't have factory to produce something. Office who made orders to different manufactures,stick Corsair logo and covering warranty,that's it.

Actually, most Corsair PSUs are built by Channelwell (CWT). And, even tho Corsair doesn't build them, they are built to Corsair's specs, which are higher than the standard OEM specs.

But that's pretty much only with their PSUs. Everything else is pretty much just a rebadge.
