Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit

Have you guys seen the NorthQ siberian tiger? It looks exactly the same as the H50... Not sure if it -is- the same though.

NorthQ also have a Siberian Tiger II which has a double fan rad.

The Siberian tiger is a rebadged Arstek LCLC, so is the Corsair H50, but the corsair is a revised design (Updated block, pump and RAD IIRK).

The Siberian tiger 2 does have a 120x2 RAD, but it still has the older inferior pump and water block (And an older RAD fin design). I'm not sure which would be better.

I think ocuk should get Siberian Tiger 2 to test out compare with Corsair H50 ?
 
yeap doesnt seem to be any support for 1366/ also the driver heaven review seems to show only a 1-3 degree difference in performance only between the single and double radiator....

So proberly doesnt look like theres much difference between this and the h50 anyhow.

Still this is only the beginning bet if these really do take over they will be adding twin and triple rads and mounting it on the top with 140mm if not 200mm fans as exhaust, now theres surely an idea right there for better performance and more silence :)

these are stress tests, you wont hit these temps when playing games etc, maybe some video encoding but unlikely.

Thats good to know cos while prime/intel burn test is testing the overclocks good, in real life your not gonna be hitting 80-90c degrees on your 4ghz+ overclock anyhow.
 
I know my H50 can do 4.2Ghz at 200x21 at vcore 1.31 at the bios and got great temperature never went above 78C for 15 hours full load with blend prime95. It would be nice if it went down to under 75C max !!! I don't like 78C at all. Because in winter, 78C is okay but in summer, 78C will go over easy in the heatwave. So, I think anything under 75C is better tip for heatwave as it probably go up to 85C !!!

i wouldn't bet on a twin rad yet.

Twin rad would surely increase flow resistance meaning as well as more cost for rad it'll need a better pump. More cost again. H50 like the domino is ideal as it fits in most cases and is easy to install.

Twin rad won't fit over the exhaust slot like the single, might mean fitting elsewhere in case which'll mean differing tube lengths- ie not pre plumbed. All adds to cost and complexity.

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

You've obviously not seen the Swiftech kits then;

120mm kit

240mm kit

Now that water-cooling stuff is about as good as it gets - it's a Swiftech Aprogee GTX block with a 10W Laing DDC mounted on top and the radiator is one of Swiftechs own with a built-in reservoir. And they're no better than decent air cooling. And they leak. And they vibrate on the motherboard. And a host of other issues too.

Or maybe you'd like something like this CoolAnswer clone I made myself on page 1?

That's a complete, proper, water loop mounted on a 120mm fan bracket. What more could you want?
 
Very nice but if you get performance, why not let everyone in on your setup.

Would it b because you get all of the parts that you need for free?.
 
I had a slight cooling problem with the H50 idleling at 58°C. I took the cooler off the chip and I noticed that very little contact had been made. I cleaned off the pre applied layer of thermal paste, I then applied Artic silver 5. I then tested the system 3DMark2001, temperature went up to 60°C then came back down and idled at 27°C. General 3D CAD appliction software while redering takes it up to only 40°C. Excellent cooler

you gotta remember as I was asking earlier prime95 and all these test really push the cpus heat to the max, proberly in most day to day activity your surely not gonna hit 70c+ temps anyhow, proberly a lot less even !

Silly newbie question here but is there such a thing as an 140mm fan or even 200mm fan bracket and perhaps the rad attached on the outside or inside of the case?

Wouldnt it be so cool to have a kit like the Swiftech H2O only its attached to the top of a case like an antec 900 where theres a whoppin 200mm silent spinning fan excelling hot air out + a lot of cases having 120/140/200+ size fans on the top, perhaps theres ways on mounting such kits there ?
 
i intend to mod my gt900 to fit the h50's rad on the roof in front of the psu. Will lose 3 of the optical bays, leaving the lowest one for the odd.

Just hope the tubes reach.
