I connected one apache fan to the four pin pwm cpufan header on the mobo and the other to sysfan 3 header on mobo. The pump I connected to the powerfan header. This is all on a gigabyte x58 UD5 mobo. Turned fan control off and let the fans run at 1300rpm.

Ah ok then so the apache's also come with a 3pin plug for normal mobo system fans?

Looks like the ETA has been removed from the product page. Just wondering if anyone from OcUK can tell us what's going on? Is it coming today or not?
Well I've cancelled my pre-order, sorry guys you were just unfortunately a little slower this time at getting them. I've placed my order elsewhere who have got both the Intel and AMD version in stock.

Wow, seems to be a whole lot of drama going on in this thread since I last visited!!
Bulldog, you are really confusing the hell out of me mate, one minute you are telling people that the H50 isn't very good, and then in the next post you are saying that you think it is great...
From what I have gathered on here, the H50 seems to be a nice little unit, and is comparable to high end air coolers, I really don't see what all the arguing is about tbh..
I have thought about buying one myself as I want to get my system under water, but I have decided to just go the full hog and build a custom loop for my system, it will cost me around £350 all in, but it will be worth it imo.

No. But that doesn't stop you pluging it into 3 pin header. You lose the pwm function is all. You could buy a splitter which will allow you to plug both into the CPU header if u wish.

This is what I'm getting aswell.
Overclockers sell an adaptor which lets you use 1 PWM header to control upto 3 fans if you'd perfere. I've stopped reading what bulldog says to be honest i dunno if english is not his primary language but his use of it gives me a heachache trying to read. On the verge of canceling my preorder as well, just waiting for shipping confirmation from somewhere else.

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
What screws did you use to fasten it all the 4 that comes with it and what else?? normal rad screws?
Soldato
ive got a pot of screws, just tried some and they fitted ok

Got one coming tomorrow from a competitor,going to slap 2 x 120 x 38mm Panaflo low speed fans on it 
I am considering one of these for my (overclocked) i5/i7 upgrade. However my case is a Lian Li PC-7B Plus II which has relatively limited cooling.
It has a 120mm intake fan at the front and a 120mm mount point at the rear. My new PSU is a Corsair HX750 which due to its length means I won't be able to make use of the 80mm mount point in the top of the case.
Do you think the H50 would be a good choice and if so what would be the best fan configuration?

Sent OCUK a webnote asking about H50's today when they expect them in, they have no idea of ETA.

I ordered mine today from a competitor who has them in stock,would have ordered from OcUK but no ETA.

My order status says: In our warehouse queue, does that mean i have bagged 1, also how the hell do you cancel an order, i cant see an option for it?
Associate
Same as lettuce, does it mean 'waiting for stock to give you' or 'waiting for stock to ship out'? Seeing as I ordered on the 25th I'd expect the former.
Anyone know whats going on with stock atm? Its near impossible to find one of these coolers.

As far as I know, you can't do it via the site. I just rang them up and asked to cancel my order, once I had given my order number it was done there and then. It takes about 3-5 days for the refund to come through.

posted in customer service thread and was told they had some stock due yesterday which should have covered back orders and then bulk free stock due today.
