Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit

I am going to buy 2 x 140mm fans (1400RPM) with massive airflow that will fit into corsair H50 120mm with 4 x screws but I will get the same screws (4 mores) from my local tools shop to match my screws.

I thought you said earlier the H50 was rubbish and the best it would do was 88c. Those figures you've shown us are roughly the same as mine. So why say different before?

Are they with the h50 installed or the Megahalems?

I was only joking before as we both know H50 is very good indeed. Mine is the same as your, no different harm between us both. :)

I am using Corsair H50 on my main pc. I am using Megahalems on other pc. Corsair and Megahalems are both good !
 
do you think 2 140mm would be okay?

i was going to try my 140 xigmatek (1000rpm) with convertor and a 120mm (1600rpm) same brand...

anyone had better results with air going out i only ask as when my system is ready(being built) its going to be pumping out air out back via sli 285's

my intakes are 4 fans on side door (Nanoxia FX12 2000RPM) and 1 230mm on the front ...exhausts are the roof 230mm&120mm
..i thinks thats sufficient air coming in for H50 to be positione as an exhaust...

oh and Gaidin109 the thickness of the convertor is 15mm and is same colour and material as xigmatek fans black but transparent think its called smokey tint :D only way i could get my hands on one was by purchasing a 140mm evercool (1200) as that came with the convertor.

My h50 does pump the air out of the case, I use 2x apache in push/pull to do this. I found that the temps are lower, like I've said previously I think the fan pulls air from the gpu when set up as corsair recommend.
my haf case fans are as standard and as for the converters, try them and see. The screws supplied with the corsair might not be long enough though.

No ones attempted to mod the H50 with any other bigger fan? maybe use the 140mm fans or 200mm fans as exhaust, somehow perhaps mounting it up there since some cases got large silent exhaust 200mm fans?

Im purely in it for the silence but perhaps its an idea....

I personally use Occt normal, linpack in occt for max temps, 20+ runs on IBT max for stability, and rarely touch prime these days. Oh and a few hours of gaming too lol.

But yeh sadly to some if u can't post a screen shot of prime been running 12hours+ they will come back and say well its not stable lol.

The problem with OCCT is that it is hyper-aggressive. PCs that fly through Prime stability testing die 61 seconds after OCCT starts (and they only live that long because it idles the cores for 60 seconds before it fries them).

There is a stability testing thread on XS where they reckon that a fairly high proportion of stock graphics cards fail the GPU test because it literally fries the VRMs.

OCCT is good because it is a STRESS test, not a calculation tool that stresses as a by-product and it does things like dropping the utilization back to zero to test recovery from Speedstep, but I'm not into the masochism that results from trying to stabilize something in OCCT that easily passes Prime.

I'm quite happy with consistency in any test regime, and we seem to be getting that at the moment.

The issue I have with chopping and changing stuff on the basic kit is that it starts to get expensive.

A Megahalems was less than £40 last week, add two fans and clips and you're looking at £60 and it's a very good cooler.

Take an H50 and swap out 2 fans and now you've got a £75-£80 cooler. Add in a couple of 140 or 200mm convertors and you could be looking at the same sort of money. Every extra 1C shaved off the temperature costs an increasingly large amount of money and I think that £60 is about as much as I'd want to spend before I went on MM and bought £100 worth of second hand water cooling that would do the job properly.

With CORSAIR H50

I cant believe that i need at least 1.25v to ac hieve 4 Ghz (200x20) and I see a lot of people with just 1.20v. Well, at least mine does 3Ghz(150x20) at 0.9625v in bios :D

Ok, One more prime test for al you H50 disbelievers out there, This Prime test is running, it has just completed the 1024k blend test, cpuz and realtemp were started just before the primetest began.
Case temp was 27c according to my aerocool fan controller, how accurate that is. I have no idea.
I am not trying to kid anyone, this is my rig and these are the results I get with it. I wouldnt know how to fudge these tests anyway.
this test was done a few minutes ago....

and here is my rig:

now hopefully this is helpful to some people who want to see what its capable of. I do not work for corsair or have any ulterior motive to make it seem any better than it is.
Everyone can make their own minds up, but please I have had enough of the sarcastic and derogatory comments.

Gaidin109, how have you connected the 2 Apache fans up, via the 4 Pin PWM plug, if so do u need an adapter cable to connect 2 to the mobo?
 
Mine came today, trying it on my amd x2 550 4 core unlocked at 3.9 ghz, im impressed , lot better than my sunbeam core contact cooler

Only came with the intel bracket, but i got the amd fitting last week from corsair.

Only problem i have is i cant fit it wuth tubes to left or right, have to be on top, and side panel wont fit on my antec 900 with it :-(

Must be the angle of the photo, it looks like it'll fit with the tubes near the pci cards. Don't suppose you can move the top one to a different slot?

Think I've changed my mind about those fans being ugly, they look quite nice there

Yes i think it will fit with tubes on left, just wanted to get it in and have a play :D

Cant move the sound card, pci express xonar, slots are in funny places on this UD5P mobo, to the top and bottom of the graphics card
