Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit

Find it hard to believe it - 4.4Ghz at 1.4Vcore at bios as it had i7 950 cpu and using H50. But, it didn't metion any temperature for 4.4Ghz at 1.4Vcore ? it say on the review at the bottom page.

on a side note - it is made by asetek - who are very good and an OEM manufacturer for the big box shifters
corsair just slap their logo on it by the looks of things - more info here

Yup, i contacted them about 8 or so months back asking about this and they said they didnt sell direct to customers but were looking to get their products into retail. Its the same cooler used in the hp\voodoo blackbird 002.
 
Well just spent a good hour reading reviews>CPU Coolers group test, not one l found had the Prolimatech Megahalems (in which by some reviews is king) against the H50 which seems rather odd. Quit soon l'm building a i7 using a Silver Tech fortress( works on positive air pressure) just above the rear 120mm fan(air out) is a 180mm top fan(air in) so that area round there gets plenty of cold air. If l get the H50 the 180mm fan would cool the rad so l'll try the fan both ways if l get the H50 and compair the temp's and a push>pull config as well. The H50 has two great thing's going for it easy install plus it does not block the nearest ram slot off so you can upgrade to 12GB Oof ram. Prolimatech or H50, it will be interesting to hear from folk who get the H50 and compare result's, temp's, fan config and case. God my old brain hurt's thinking about this what a pickle to be in.

Does look a bit ugly though doesnt it, thought they could have added some nice tubing with it to sex it up a bit. Would it be possible to add your own custom tubing do you think?

Of course you could do your own tubing, but you'll invalidate the warranty and you'll need to replace the coolant. Once you start to get into that level of sophistication you really may as well buy a custom 120mm loop.

I think going for a custom setup would probably cost 3 times as much though, i mean how much would some tubing & coolant cost? Then if i did that i would be able to have the rad at the front of my antec 1200 :D

Those screenies are a touch misleading. Different versions of CPUz and the H50 shot is only running at 3GHz.
 
thats because I have LLC off for the H50, so a higher voltage, both were done with prime 95, the reason cpuz shows a different core speed is due to EIST if you look at realtemp is shows 4Ghz.

I have since sold on the Megahalems so cant do a retest just to satisfy you lot of unbelievers LOL.

In my humble opinion and from my experience the H50 is better than the megahalems.

I currently run the h50 with 191x21 and 1.248v. I have Load line calibration Off and all the advanced power functions On.

The H50 has other advantages as it takes less space, frees up the dimm socket and stresses the mobo less because of the lack of weight.

Sorry, but CPUz is the only program I believe about CPU speeds. It was running the 16x multiplier too, which seems an odd speed to step down to - normally it steps down to 12.

goes to show how little you know then doesnt it. I will do the h50 again if you want.
realtemp used the cpuz engine anyway.
