Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit

I did the same as DIABLO, rubin1961 and Gaidin109

actually I'm lying as I don't own an H50 but I'm thinking about getting one if/when I upgrade and I'll be doing the same :)

I was looking to grab one of these as well, as the Fenrir is not performing adequately (even after reinstall). I've ordered the rest of the parts I was after but now I'm waiting on this to come back in stock. Another site has them listed as out of stock but arriving September 30th, which is longer than I'd like to wait. I need it pretty promptly - before the end of the month - and I'd rather order from OCUK if possible. I don't want to place an order without knowing when it's due.

Well I currently have my RAM at 1.640, would it better if I run it at 1.5 then?

If you can keep the system stable at 1.5v, yes - but it's fine at 1.64 as it's within spec (but lower voltages are always a bonus).

If you want to try it - drop it to 1.5v then run memtest, prime95 and then use and abuse in everyday usage - if it gets through that little lot and you're not experiencing any problems then keep it at 1.5v.

If it fails any of the above, up it incrementaly until it becomes stable - hopefully you'll not end up back where you started at 1.64v ;)

I'd imagine the second batch will be the end of September as Corsair are repacking with the 1156 brackets and they currently don't have any of those yet so the fate of when the next batch of H50 comes to europe probably depends on how long it takes Corsair get this bloody hold down plate off Asetek

Can i use the mem test in OCCT??, as dont u have to pay for memtest?
 
i have found that you may already have these screws lying around if you have recently bought a new case...while installing my hardware i found a load of screws in the haf box that had wheels in it also for base well some of screws fitted the rad perfectly so check the bag of screws for simular thread and size you may get lucky:)

different subject ...gaiden could you recommend any i7 noob guides as im looking to get between 3.8-4 from my 920 D0 using this H5O and this build will be my first upgrade since 2006 (939) which im typing on now:D x2 4800:D used be fast:D

There are a couple out there

or this one

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i7-920-overclocking.html


hope it helps mate, this forum will help with the UD5 Mobo specifics, and there are a couple of threads going at the mo.


Oh, and I'm about to dig out the screws that came with my HAF. cheers.
 
Anyone mounted the H50 in a Lancool Dragon Lord case? Interested in buying one but don't want too much hassle installing it.

Pictures and experience of this setup would be great :)

Sorry to be a noob but can someone explain push/pull?
Click to expand...

Conventionally a CPU HS will use just the one fan which blows through the HS towards the exhaust at the rear of the case.

Push/Pull is when you attach an additional fan, on the opposite side of the HS to that conventional fan, which pulls air through the HS - hence, push/pull abbreviation. It adds to the efficiency and therefore overall cooling ability of the HS.

EDIT: Beaten to it - and Clairvoyant's, reply is more succinct and probably easier to understand.

Think I'm sold on one of these, can't decide between apache or noctua nf-p12 fans. Though the colour is putting me off, would spraying them black affect performance?
