Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit

I have 2 apache's and a H50 which I hope to fit in the next couple of days
to my Q6600. But I have a question about the fans, I have not tried connecting
them to anything yet but I wanted to know which way the air is blown through
the fans so I can attach them to the H50 radiator in advance. Is the apache
sticker side where the air is sucked in or is it the silver akasa sticker side?.
I know this probably sounds like a very stupid question.
 
I've got one of these mounted in my Sugo SG05, which works well.

I do get a slight 'clicking' noise tho (similar to a noisey HDD). Is this normal for the H50? Or could it be faulty? I've tried the rad in different orientations and it still makes the noise...here's a link to the thread

Any advice would be muchly appreciated:)
 
Here is my two parts of snapshot of my 4ghz with Corsair H50 after passed linx and done some superpi test with max temp of 73C - quite happy with it:

Part 1 of 2: under load 19/20 linx

Part 2 of 2: finished linx with 20/20 passed and superpi result:

Some good temps there bulldog. What paste are you using?, i have MX-3 atm, and i think it mighg be a bit like AS 5, where it take a while for it to cure, as my temps seem to be getting better all the time atm.

For people how have a push/pull setup, what screws size screws did you get? As atm i have just 2 of the supplied screws on each fan holding them in place

I am using MX-3 paste. I got 4 screws but I put 2 x screws on both fans as a push pull. Best put 2 x screws on top left, bottom right of fan 1 and put 2 x screws on top right, bottom left of fan 2. It stupid as Corsair don't have 8 screws in the box.

Yes it because I use 191 x 20 with turbo enabled and HT enabled and use 1.26vcore, 1.20v qpi/vtt, 1.14v IOH and 1.50v dram with LLC disabled. And Cpu pll at 1.3v but cpu clock skew at stock - 0ps. That is the reason to kept your temperature low as possible.

well, i bought my H50 1 week ago and have just installed it after at last having time!.
very very impressed, my temps have lowered by 10c idle havent tryed prime etc yet but will do tommorow.
Machine is now so quiet compared to my Fenrir ,push pull with Noctua fans.
Im using the rad/fan as corsair have stated as a intake.
Have also installed a new corsair HX 850 w psu which is also super quiet

Ok Bulldog, few questions, if you dont mind:

What is IOH, northbridge related?
What does the CPU PLL do?
Why you not running with LLC enabled?
Isnt RAm surpossed to be 1.640?

Better ask Rich from ocuk about this questions related ! I just follow Gaidin109 step by step but who care as long I got a stable pc!

IOH is the northbridge, so IOH voltage is NB voltage. CPU PLL is voltage for the core clocks on the CPU. LLC reduces vdroop, but can cause voltage spikes, if you can get stable without it good, but dont worry if you cant, it only really dangerous when you are using excessive voltages. I have found that the temps are slightly better with it disabled. RAM voltage is 1.5v stock, but the XMP profiles require 1.65v, if its stable with a lower voltage all well and good.

whats the best fans for push pull, everyone seems to be different after reading the whole topic. just about to order so wanna get it right :)

The akasa apaches seem to be a popular choice, i havent tried them yet mysef, but id reccomend sharkoon silent eagle se's or arctic cooling 12025 pwm fans, ive used both of theese to good effect in push/pull setups.
