Noo, Other End!

The P180 Mini allows an epic setup with the rad mounted at the FRONT ;)

Yes it's mine and not just the bad photograph :)
 
Well that depends doesn't it.

There is a filter screen, a filter screen door on top of that and the large front door with vent slots round the side.

I can remove the filter and open both doors and have very unrestricted airflow should I choose to - say for benchmarking.

On the other hand if you mount it at the back if it's intake its taking air from the same place the graphics and PSU dump their hot air and of course there are no options whatsoever for air filters back there unless you do some custom fiddling.
 
Don't worry about my storage :)

I have two terabyte drives in the bottom two 5.25" bays with adapted adapters. The top 5.25" holds the optical drive... and the middle is all fans.

Actually so is the bottom. Almost the whole front is a powered intake.

This peace of kit is AMAZING!!! I installed today ( a bit of a pain in the ass ) but I did it and booted into my bios cracked it to 4ghz hyper threading on, turbo on +20 on volts an hour of stress testing this is what I got (pic is from 4 mins of stress test but it stayed prity much the same)

Im getting a bit of a high pitched squeaking noise from my pc, ive stopped all the fans in turn and the noise is still there, ive put a long screwdriver against the H50 pump and listened to that but i cant hear it through there, if i tip the case on its side it stops for a bit then comes back. Has anyone else had this from their pump???

Ive got mine mounted with the logo upside down to keep it free of air.

Cheers

how long have you had it?
what case have you got?
 
has any 1 fitted the h50 to an x38 ds4 i'm having problem locking the cooler in to place and i'm wodnering if its actually compatible with my motherboard. as u can see in this picture the green rin is the bracket and the red ring is what i think is stopping it from locking in place.

SORTED.

I too noticed that the instructions didn't correlate with the design of the pump and the bracket. On the Intel bracket there were teeth which hooked on to the pump and on the pump there were 'ledges' protruding from the circumference which had indentations along them for the teeth, but no opening on either side of the indentations to allow any twisting.

I had to pull on the pump (away from the motherboard and into the teeth of the bracket) and then screw in from the otherside until tight enough.
