Corsair H50 Water Cooling Kit

What software did you use to check speed.

 

[Serpantine]

Check it under prime95, sounds like speedstep is interfering.

Will call them up monday for a moan!

You see, this is the problem with selling very much enthusiast equipment to those who don't quite know what they're doing.

He thinks he paid for a 4ghz overclock, and also thinks he has a stock system. Wouldn't like to guess if he's right on either count, but it's definitely not corsair related so he's basically just spamming this thread.

sorry i was only posting here to say how I set up the h50 really as I only bought it cause of this thread, but that there was no point posting temps yet as it seem sits running stock speed, all bios settings are on default/auto whereas i though they were meant to set it up. A bit of topic, appologies.

Have to say though the h50 was easy to install. Used the video from the Corsair website which made it a breeze and its nice to have lots of space in the case rather than it be taken up with a huge heatsink!

Ah, OK. I was just wanting to assist if you were having issues with our products. Sounds like once you set the BIOS up correctly you be fine.

6mm inner 8 mm outer fits perfect, no idea what it is in inches

 

[the-tazs]

Thank you will order some tonight and get started

I'm just wondering - why bother modding the H50 when you can just buy a pump, cpu block and rad?

because its fun, something different, people like to mess with things

 

[Strawberry]

Lol. Well, my trust in not-leaking goes like this:

Compression Fittings > H50 > Modded H50.

 

[the-tazs]

would 6mm iD tubing be 3/16 ? dose anyone know? also with the corsair logo at the top and the to tube at the bottom,which one pumps the fluid out of the block the left or the right?

 

[miniyazz]

Let's find out, shall we.

Hypothesis: 6/25.4 = 3/16
=> 6/25.4 = 6/32.

Looks like.. hmmm... nope.

 

[Guest2]

Which of these would work best? I have no other exhaust or case circulation, by the looks of it i can fit a 120mm fan next to the hard drive bay. (see pics below) I might do this but turn it around so its blowing over the graphics card and north bridge (though it might just be hard drive heat??)

< Corsair fan. Radiator < Noctua NF-P12

< Noctua NF-P12. Radiator < Corsair fan

> Noctua NF-P12. Radiator > Corsair fan

> Corsair fan. Radiator > Noctua NF-P12

3/16 and 6/32 is the same because you can / 6/32 by 2 which give you 3/16

So?

 

[the-tazs]

can the barbs be change on the H50-1 rad?

 

[ViRuS2k]

well i have installed my H50-1 and im having issues now.
the cpu temps are fine 78c max with 4.2HT problem is now my motherboard temps are up to 67c from 59c becuse now there is no thermalright ultra 120 fans in the case blowing air over the motherboard.

need to fix this asap though i dunno where to fit more fans lol

 

[ViRuS2k]

Ok added 2 more 120mm fans right above the motherboard northbridge and temps have jumped from 67c to 54/55c much better, also droped temps on on my cpu from 100% 4.2GHZ I7 from 78c to low 70s

going to add another 3 120mm`s in the next few days lol

i think i have about 12 120mm fans in my system now ? is there a rule to how meny fans you put in your system to cool it cause i think im going overboard lol

 

[ViRuS2k]

temps are looking good now now to add a few more 120mms lol
