I went with the H50 and TIM as is.

Will try and boot hopefully later.

Hi

Just popped one of these in and ........wow I'm very impressed. its deadly silent and much much cooler than my Akasa Evo Blue.

Temps have dipped from 32 ish degrees to 25 idle.

All in all.....Im one happy chappy.

Haven't load tested this yet, but as said before I'm v impressed with my H50. Previous idle temps were 47C at 2700Mhz now I'm at 3000Mhz and temps still way lower @34C idle. The 42C peak was during some heavy file transfers between 3 drives, not sure how much that loads the cpu so please don't pay too much attention to that yet!

I'm still installing drivers and software on my new HD and Win 7 install. Once thats all done, I'll ramp things up a bit more and get some proper load testing done.

Under gaming core load temp is 45C max (Project reality 4hrs) - EDIT: 47C under Prime 95

does this come with the am3 fixing bracket as ive read a few reviews and they say it doesnt but on overclockers it says it will fit a am3,

 

[djkav]

Is it ok to stick a dust filter on the H50 intake fan?

 

[JimboJet]

@ Sunderland - My one that I received from OcUK 2 days ago did.

@ djkav - I would say so yes, but at a small penalty to cfm which could affect final temps. How do people with standard watercooling setups find the dust problem with their rads?

If its sold as H50-1 then yes it will come will fittings for all current cpus from intel and amd

 

[Bradmax57]

the reviews your reading might be of H50 not H50-1

 

[sunderland]

thanks to all who replied will order the h50-1 then,thanks again

must admit I keep coming back to the Corsair h50, but am slightly nervous about it leaking

 

[theron]

number of people it leaked for is a really tiny minority i think. and corsair seem to be replacing all the parts that were damaged anyway

 

[Balb0wa]

Going to mod mine today, wish me luck ! lol

adding one of those mini swiftech's

Corsair replace any parts damaged by a leaked H50 eh...? ^__________________________^

I think someone is going to do a naughty!

 

[Mr Fujisawa]

Have ordered this today as part of the overclocked bundle but will be using two apache blacks in push/pull after reading (a lot of) this thread. using a p180 case.

yes: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showpost.php?p=430400&postcount=8

unless its obviously deliberate damage and the warranty has been invalidated.

 

[gee3000]

I'd be too afraid to get an 'accidental leak' in my system incase it blows my face off -.-

I wonder if Corsair replace damaged parts with exact replacements. What about in the case that the particular part you have isn't available?

I was thinking the same, got the fans just need to sell some parts before i get the H-50 . You will have to tell us how it performs

 

[Balb0wa]

by no means finished yet, got to get some 6-8mm barb things for the res, also make some tubes a bit shorter.

work in progress, air cooler on at mo, lol
