Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit

It been the same temperature last night at 78C overnight and ran to 12 hours full load on prime95 blend test with H50. Not bad for 78C. However, I did removed the H50 off and re-apply paste again. This time after 4 hours full load, the temperature is even better than yesterday with top temperature of 73C, 72C, 68C, 66C after being idle at 37c, 37c, 36c, 35c with vcore at 1.23v at windows and 1.26v at bios with 4Ghz with 200 x 20 with 1 fan that come with the cooler as a corsair fan 1600rpm . I am now going to stick with it, not going to change as very happy with the overall result. I am going to try to push it to 4.2Ghz tonight.

Is it a D0 or a C0?
 
Quick question prime and intel burn test...... does these temps simulate say if one was playing a heavy game for 3-4 hrs ?

Cos I see a lot of temps sure there high but maybe for real world use most of us wont even be hitting these sort of temps ?

Ran 4.2Ghz 200 x 21 on vcore at 1.31v on bios, temperature is 77C, 77C, 76C, 74C after 1 hour full load with prime95 blend for the H50.

thats good temps, you got HT on, mine are 80, 76,79,74 2hrs with 1.3v small fft.

should you use blend or small fft..? which gives more heat and stress on the proc.
 
Like setter, i am a big fan of the True, but having followed this thread i believe this is now going to be my next purchase because even one or two degrees cooler helps, especially when i am overclocking.

All i need now is some aftermarket cooling for my GTX280.

Thanks for all the testing, it helps a lot so is most appreciated.
 
I'd still like something like this for my CPU, not sure about GPU.. but from what i've been reading the Accelero coolers for GPU's are pretty silent and cool a lot better than standard heatsinks, so i'd be looking to cut down noise on the system so when the fans throttle they wont be really loud.

There is no product out there for someone who wants quiet + kept well cool system without hassle of finding a place for it to go and with little/no maintenance. There is either custom water with hard setup and maintenance or air which is easy to setup and basically no maintenance but higher temps

no inbetweens, and no kits like this that cool even better but with same ease of setup :(

I can agree mate, ive used the TRUE on my last two quads, q6600 @3.8ghz, 65nm quads run extremely hot. current q9550 does 3.8ghz on 1.216 under prime load, (1.200 vid cpu) temps of 54-50-46-46, probably a bad mount of my cooler, which is lapped, im a bit worried about lapping the q9550 as ive only had it a short while.

EDIT: Im currently running 400-1200 rpm pwm fans on my TRUE black, ill try switching to my fullblown 2000 rpm versions on the TRUE.

we need a dual rad version for better temps and overclocks, surely it would beat air cooling by a large amount if a single rad version can do as well as the best air.. and it wouldn't be much more expensive either

anyone think?

i want something simple like this, but there isn't anything else.

It would probably need a bigger pump and you wouldn't be able to fit it inside most cases. The target market would slump in numbers and so drive the price up.

I'm still going to wait and see on these, because I'll be honest, it just doesn't add up at all. Swiftech make a system with a DDC pump, an Apogee block and a proper radiator, yet this is half the price and it apparently outperforms it?

As I say, it makes no sense.
 
it's certainly appealing isn't it. The domino was nearly there, maybe corsair/asetec have got it right at last.

After all asetec have had a long time in tech world to perfect this. The LCLC then the northq tiger and now the H50.
 
is it possible to make up a loop of custom parts like this H50 and get better performance and cool the gpu too?

so i'm talking about a radiator with integrated res and cpu waterblock with integrated pump.. cutting out where to find somewhere for res & pump would make me like watercooling. as then you just basically have the radiator and waterblock(s).

grateful if anyone has info
 
I just wish that corsair would re-consider the H50 is a bad idea to get intake air flow inside the case, maybe they should bring 140mm x 2 radiator with two fans of 1600rpm and outtake to blow the hot air out of the case in future like H60 series and that could bring the core temp down to 65C on 4.2Ghz possible ?
 
At the end of the day though, heat dissipation is down to the surface area of the fins. A 120mm radiator is smaller than a large heatsink, although I don't know about fin density, I'd assume the rad has a greater density than a HSF.

I'm sure if they'd stuck this to a 240 rad, we'd be seeing a lot better results. The only real advantage I can see for this, is, like they said in the video, in an mATX rig, where space is limited. For the sake of an extra, say, £30, a £90 dual rad H50 may be better.

Water doesn't automatically make it a better cooler. It's simply a medium for transferring the heat. If you can't dissipate the heat into the air, and get it away, that heat will just come back round into the CPU again, so it builds up.
