Corsair H50 passive ?

Ice Tea · 4 Oct 2009 at 13:31

Anybody tried the Corsair H50 without the fan running ?

I wondered how it would perform against a passive cooler like the scythe orochi .

Shame the pipes do not look long enough to place the rad horizontally outside the case.

A fan moving will always make more noise than no fan at all

There's always the pump...

Unless it makes a high pitched whine i can't imagine it would be any louder than a reserator pump. ?

I dont think the noise is going to be significantly any lower with or without a fan. To the human ear anyway. You can get a really low profile silent fan to attach rather than the stock. The pump on the H50 can make as much noise as the fans. When your case is shut its pretty quiet but open it up and you can hear the motor pump.

EEEEeeeek

So the pump noise H50 is louder than a Hardrive spinning ?

Think i'll go back to the idea of a Scythe Orochi or a IFX-14 as a passive cooler unless i can shoehorn in a Reserator into the space i have planned for a silent build

You can stick a quiet fan on a Reserator for cooler temps but that just makes the whole concept of passive pointless.

People into passive cooling only care that the temps never go into the thermal throttle as they do not have an OCD ( Obsessive compulsive disorder) for low reading temps.

tbh a noctua fan at 800rpm is totally inaudible..... passive cooling is most fail IMO

Careful your get WJA96 and shadowscotland in here posting pics of Passive cooled setups that work just fine.

Yeah, but they have tons of external rads. And for some reason all the pictures i see are outside... when it's windy

It was snowing but by the time they took the pics it thawed out from the hot ambient heat from the cases.

WJA96 and shadowscotland computers are so quiet that they can hear the ping of erect nipples in pron movies.

WJA96 and shadowscotland need a touch screen keyboard to get rid of typing noise
