Corsair H50

Hi All

I currently have the H50 with the standard Corsair fan. Which would be the best fan to setup push/pull on the rad? :confused:

sunjoo2012 · 12 Dec 2010 at 17:01

there quite a few:

scythe gentle typhoon
akasa apache
akasa viper
nzxt 9 rifle
cm sickle flow

depends on budget

Budget is not so much of a problem. I was ;ooking for the most airflow with the minimum of noise!

sunjoo2012 · 12 Dec 2010 at 17:19

these 3 then
scythe gentle typhoon
akasa apache
akasa viper

most people choose the scythe gentle typhoon

Thanks for the reply. I will check out some reviews on the ones you have suggested.

Cheers

no probs anytime mate

My vote goes to the scythe gentle typhoon from personal experience.

I have apaches, cool and quiet

I have also changed my Corsair H70 fans to 2 x Apache Black's in a push/pull configuration, and have split them from the CPU fan header with a PWM splitter.

So quiet!

When you buy the H50, does it just have 1 fan?? with space for 2 so you can set up P/P ?

Yes it does , but you need to source the screw mounts for the 2nd fan.

demonstag · 13 Dec 2010 at 17:29

I think it is just the screws you need to source as there are threaded holes on both sides of the Rad.

Oh I see. My Arctic cooler does the job... but I've seen some nice reviews on that so I may invest in it for those few more degrees more cooling... Would the screws not come with the fan?

demonstag · 13 Dec 2010 at 20:07

I believe that the H70 comes with 2 fans and 2 lots of screws. As the H50 only has 1 Fan then you only get 1 set of screws. However you do get every current CPU mounting brackets. So far I have been very pleased with the H50, even under load the temp never goes above 36 degrees and that was running Intelburn and Prime for stability check.

I like apaches myself but just my personal preff.

Thanx guys for the info

Akasa Viper, very good fan, using 3 myself on a 360 Rad, when l had a H50 the Viper performed even better than the Apache. Viper > push/ Yate Loon or other good 120mm fan Pull.

I have recently just bought these for my H70 and omg the noise level has dropped so much I cant hear them unless there at max and even then its not that bad at all!
