Corsair Hydro Series H50 or coolit Vantage A.L.C.

[LiveOrDie]

im looking at these 2 AIO watercooling kits the coolit is out yet i dont think, looking at both i would say the coolit is better but im not sure Corsair is a good brand.

I'm currently running a h50 with push pull fans, but I'm thinking of going back to my coolermaster v8. I hated the coolit aio. Noisy and crap temps compared to my old zalman 9700.

Go with the h50.

im about to push the button to buy the H50 so your not alone in buy one.. they are good especially someone like me who wants to dip his toe into the world of water cooling before i go all out which will happen

what about the coolit Vantage A.L.C.? as long as the thing works as good as my v8 and at as loud ill be happy this fan on my v8 is loud as

the h50 is a decent cooler but you should only use it if you can not fit the more conventional tower type coolers such as a true, megahelam, etc
from what i have read the higher and high end tower type coolers cool better than the alc or h50.

i have an h50 in a pnp config and im frankly kind of disapointed with the performace...but it was the only thing i could fit on my MB due to a high stock NB heatsink.

H50. I'm pretty happy with mine, it's dropped temps ~12c from the Xigmatek cooler I had, all while being silent.

I have a CoolIT ECO. There is no difference between it and the Vantage in terms of performance. Both the H50 and ECO perform near the same, and both are good. The H50 is louder and has more heat dump, but the radiator is a little more robust. The ECO deals with the less robust radiator by having a 1W heat dump pump that makes almost no noise.

well i went with the coolit eco ill post how it goes when i get it vs my v8 with a 3000RPM fan

 

[bboy-mass]

Hows the Coolit system dude?

Whats your temps and how many RPMS doe's the fan spin at?

Is the pump quiet and how many rpms ?

Is it any GOOD.

LOL

 

[DocJay35]

ya i would like to know about this product is it worth the money or it it a waist. how easy is it to install. what is the temps on you cpu are thay better or worse or the same. thanks get back to us soon

 

[LiveOrDie]

I've installed the CoolIt ECO A.L.C. 120mm this week, went from a ThermalTake Big Typhoon VX with socket 1366 adapter. I must say at first, the CoolIt water cooling system performs a little less than my TT Big Typhoon, but much less noise I have to deal with. I've read many reviews that claim that if you use 2 120mm fans in a push/pull configuration, you basically cut 5 to 8 degrees from you LOAD temps off the bat. That is one of the elements that made me buy the CoolIt. Also, the reason I didn't buy the Corsair H50 is because in a push/pull config, the CoolIt performs better than the Corsair (from a couple of reviews I read). That basically says the CoolIt system is a little more efficient I suppose. Of course the Corsair owners will aim to disagree, but heck I just go with the reviews. Oh, and the Coolit is cooling an overclocked i7 920 C0. CoolIt will release (if not already) a 240mm radiator version of the ECO A.L.C.... Too bad for all that bought the 120mm version (like me).

 

[LiveOrDie]

240mm would be to be for me the 120mm fix in my case just right

well i went with the coolit Vantage A.L.C. ill post how it goes when i get it vs my v8 with a 3000RPM fan

So how does it perform?

 

[LiveOrDie]

sorry i couldn't find the Vantage it wasn't out at the time i went with the eco

One of the few problems I encountered with the ECO, was excessive motherboard temps, caused by the lack of airflow over the Northbridge. Some motherboards have the Video card sitting almost on top of the Northbridge heat sink. There's just not very much room to get air in between the NB and the Video card. I've accidentally discovered a cure for that problem.

I laid out all the fans I own and decided to see what I could do to help the problem. I found that the 70mm fan from an aluminum block AMD cooler will slip snugly between the lower pump housing and the plastic thumb screws. It blows air right at the back side of the video card and cools the Northbridge quite well. I also removed the blue Gigabyte caps from the heat sink, which improved the cooling even more Temps that were in the high 40s to low 50s are now in the mid 30s. This pic was taken with a webcam, which was not quite able to focus down to about a little over a foot, but you can still get the general idea.

Even at 3200 rpm, the fan is almost silent, and moves a lot of air. Just be sure to put it in open side up and frame side down. It fits snug enough that you really don't have to do anything to hold it in place, but I've added a long zip tie that goes under the metal mount bracket and around the fan to assure that it won't fall out. It doesn't look elegant, but it does work quite well.
