The Corsair Hydro Series H60 is a fantastic choice for cooling. With a new micro-channel cold plate and a split-flow designed manifold, the H60 brings remarkable new technologies to an affordable price point. If that weren’t enough, the H60 also features an all-new fan, custom designed to offer enhanced static pressure, which means better cooling.
You don’t have to sacrifice performance to build a quiet system. Most high-performance coolers use crude, outdated designs that rely on two techniques: put a huge hunk of metal in your case or crank the fan to obnoxiously loud noise levels. The Hydro Series coolers feature innovative, cutting-edge designs that utilize the superior thermal conductivity of liquid over air to provide fantastic cooling at much lower noise levels. In fact, the H60 is similar in noise levels to a 120mm case fan you probably already have.
Almost any case with a rear 120mm fan mount location can house the Hydro Series H60 CPU cooler. And don’t worry about compatibility with your CPU, we’ve got you covered. AMD® sockets AM2 and AM3 are covered, and without having to install a custom backplate, making the H60 a great choice for any modern AMD CPU up to the new Phenom six-core processors. And when it comes to Intel®, don’t worry about it. Whether you’ve got Socket LGA775, LGA1155, LGA1156, or LGA1366, we’ve got compatibility inside the box. That’s right, even the brand new Core i5 and Core i7 2x00 series processors are supported, right out of the box.

Do you have any benchmarks? A mate is very interested, but I want to show him that my as of today custom setup beats all-inc ones :)

Surely the H60 will suffer just as much from higher ambient temperatures as my current cpu cooler - Given they both use ambient air to cool themselves.

As does every cooler, that is physics for you.

My point being, you claim this will solve hot weather overheating - Not really likely given it suffers the same thing which as you rightly mentioned is indeed, physics.
 
Compared to inferior cooling solutions it is better. For example the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro which is one of the best selling coolers ever. Under warmer ambient temps then the F7Pro may struggle with a high end o/c but the H60 could cope better and provide better/safer overall temperatures.

I'm not saying it will revolutionise your temperatures with a high end air cooler, but a mid range unit it should give good gains. There is also the added bonus of less stress on the socket and motherboard too, as it's weights next to nothing, especially if you move your PC around a bit, heavy coolers can damage your PC when being moved on a regular basis. Ie. in a car etc.

Just to query this, would you recommend taking the cooler out if moving?
I have a noctua c12p which is pretty heavy and I wouldn't want to risk any damage.

Would have gone for the h60 if it came out a month ago

From reviews it seems these aren't a lot better than the older models. If heavy coolers can damage your pc perhaps they should all have disclaimers on the website. I've never had a 'heavy' cooler damage my hardware and it gets lugged around quite a bit.

roughly 5C decrease from the H50.

I was scouring about on some other forums just to see what their views were on it. They aren't impressed with it.

Look at my sig to see what I am running. I am @ 3.68ghz 1.288v and topping at about 70-72C on prime 95.

Is this bad? It is worse than my old air cooling...

The main reason why most users report getting better temps with AS5, MX4, or really any other TIM in replacement of the stock Shin Etsu paste is merely because Corsair preapplies a pretty ridiculous amount of paste on it. It's not because Shin Etsu is not as good as the others, it's because there is too much applied. I bet if you had your own tube of Shin Etsu and applied that yourself it would yield better temps.

When I installed my H50 I didn't have any TIM other than the preapplied one, so I just went with it.

I removed the default stuff on my own and applied AS5. Still crap temps though.

Apparently the H60 has a 5 year warranty.
 
im in 2 minds either this or h50 what do you think? or if i go with air cooling i was going to get a a50/a70 or hyper 212 its for a 955 BE.

whats best for a 955?
 
Had my H50 since launch I was tempted by this but after reviews its actually louder in db testing than the h50 contrary to some of the other reviews will just stick with the h50 for now.
