2- replace anti-kink corrugated tubing with smooth wall tubing - improves liquid flow

The other effect of this is to dramatically reduce the life of the product, as the rubber tubes have a much higher evaporation rate than the FEP corrugated tubing. Especially at the temps you'd see inside a computer case.

Ordeeeerrrrreeeedddd!!!!

Should keep my i7 nice and :cool:

Will this fit ok on a NZXT phantom case?

Is this a special pre order price?

Thanks

I be surprise if it doesn't do the job well.

Is this a pre-order only price, or the normal price you're going forward with?

the price will go up after the initial stock - I have 50 units for the launch, but our buy price will be slightly higher next time round.

The product has a 3 year warranty so this should not be an issue.

The product has been rated for typical lifespan of 50,000 hours usage.

How can it restrict? we're not talking silly tiny fish tank air tubes here. The tubes are quite big regardless how they are shaped.

I'm looking to replace my asus silent square pro with something *ahem* cooler, would this or a akasa venom be better at cooling a q6600 @ 3.6ghz?

Looks like there is a 920 version with the thicker rad any eta on that ?

Best I can do for you is "before summer."

looks great and the price is right

Ahh the new h50 looks great....

Haha! My thoughts exactly. It'll probably have the same issue as the H50 too: start off nice and cool but as the rad and water start to heat up the temps will get worse

Overall though, one of these will definitely keep your CPU cooler than any other heat sink/fan combo right?

Because of physics?

#1 the tubes are larger diameter

#2 the tubes are smooth walled instead of corrugated. Corrugations cause turbulence, turbulence slows flow through the tube.

That's far too bold a claim for a £50 hybrid cooler.

Son, I am disapoint.

Yes on both counts

Sent OCUK a webnote about it, apparently it works fine so I'm gonna have this baby in push pull.

If 4.2ghz takes Bout 1.45 volts, I'm gonna push for 4.4

i was after a 2nd hand h-50 but after reading the review im so tempted.

i had a h-50 then went to full watercooling then deceided to go back to air....big mistake,after all the air and watercooling systems ive had i actually like the h-50 a lot more.

this new cooler is a good price.

changed my mind and im going to stick with the h-50 due to me having one and knowing what it can do.

What's too bold of a claim? Sorry if I missed something.

I think he meant the comment regarding the Fonz. Hopefully you don't have to google that to know who he is

Exactly! LN2 isn't even as cool as the Fonz!
