Corsair H50-1 High-Performance CPU Watercooler (Socket LGA775/1156/1366/AM2/AM3)

hi iam wanting to cool my cpu, considering overclocking but i still want it to look really cool. i am considering using the Corsair H50-1 High-Performance CPU Watercooler; however i would also like to replace the pipes to make either: blue fuild run through clear tubes or to use a blue tube.

this is what it looks like. can anyone offer advice on how to do this, or post a video/link on how to do it.

thanx

Tbh this does defeat the whole object to why corsair designed this; to create an easy pre built watercooling system and although the price is also good is there any point in replacing half a meter tubes tops?

Also I'm a bit of a non-believer with regards to H50's. My housemate has one and his CPU is pretty toasty (I hope he doesn't see this post

)

Worked really well for me (SG03). Was trying to cool the CPU semi-passively (E8400) via the PSU, but everything was mega toasty (50C general use). After its dropped to 30C general use and is very quiet.

i recommend the H50 if you dont wanna go the full watercooling option, mine was great, a nice insight into what water can do.

...but the bug will get you and you will wanna go the full option later

Keeping an e3300 @ 4ghz under 55 degrees load in a Silverstone Sugo SG05, they must be doing something right.

the h50 worked really well for me, but there is the notion that some instances are a little more susceptible to vibration than others - in my mind this is more about case reverberation, but its something to be aware of.

If you want it in a different colour, I say get your spray paint out

A blue sleeving as seen in THIS THREAD is a great option. It looks good, slips over the stock tubing and therefore does not void your warranty.

Buy some dust filters.
