Corsair Hydro H50, 60 or 70...

Hi, I've got 8gb Dominator RAM with heatsinks and not a huge amount of space in my case... Considering therefore that I'm probably not going to be able to fit the Noctua or the SA in my case - would it be best to go for a H60? or are there better low-profile air coolers out there that are quieter and cooler than the H60?

Cheers

RMA it back to OcUK. They have to refund/replace faulty items.

Corsair said to send it straight back to them. :confused:

I'll wait until the Noctua arrives and once I've fitted that I'll RMA the H60 back to Corsair. That way I won't be left without decent cooling while I wait for their response.

Corsair said the same to me, doesn't mean you don't have the legal right to return it back to where you bought it from (it's faulty).

I didn't want to be without the computer, so I bought the H80 whilst returning the H60. Now have refund on the H60.

My H60 made a horrendous noise, something to do with the water pump and possible air in the system, who knows! I've read a few people with noisey H60s.

If you want quiet, get a big air-cooler, or a proper water cooling system. The H60 & H80 are noiesy buggers when the fans ramp up to cool the radiator.

Thanks r0cky.

I contacted OCUK and they told me that I could RMA it to them instead. I've ordered another cooler so as soon as that arrives I'll return the H60.

Wish I read this before I got the h80. I have it on the lowest profile settings and it's so loud. Im probably going to take it out and put the stock intel fan back on. Id rather have a little more cpu temp then the drumming this thing is giving my ears.

It sounds like a plane taking off on POST lol.

Hi mate, good choice on the cooler, Corsair do Advanced rma's if you phone them up, that's what I did when i rma'd my psu. They will send you out a new one, once you receive the replacement you send yours back. They put a Hold on your credit card which is removed once they receive your unit back.

@r0cky Is the H80 really loud?
