Corsair HG10 Cooler

Wasn't sure were to put this water cooling or Cooling..

This bracket on sale shows the stock GPU fan, can anyone from either OCUK or here confirm if this comes with it..

If you mean does the HG10 come supplied with a fan, no it doesn't. You're meant to cannibalise the stock fan from your GPU.

What about if I own MSI gaming edition? The Bracket supports this GPU..

On another website "CAN" they list the fan not supplied, but OCUK dont say anything about this..

Also OCUK show the fan in there images, yet another site dont.

Am not sure..

Its not pretty

Why not get the NZXT G10?

Comes with a fan included, but not sure if you need VRM h/sinks as well.

Bad VRM cooling from the Reviews.

The HG10 A1 reuses the stock AMD blower fan. All upcoming HG10 coolers will come with a Corsair branded blower fan.

Thanks they say any time frame? if so I might just wait for that. Unless I can find two stock blower fans.

Its been mentioned loads of times and OCUK STILL have not changed their product details. Its very misleading because it doesnt mention you need to use the blower fan.
If you check out Corsair's own page (unless they have updated it) it doesnt mention you use the blower fan. Yet if you download the manual for it then it mentions it.
Just to clarify you can only use this if your existing GPU has the reference blower type cooler or you can buy a 2nd hand reference cooler.

read on another site can be fixed by using thicker thermal pad for the VRM strip.

Would likely stick with Corsair there's looks much better and is proven to work quite well..

Just need to find 2 blower fans though, providing quite tricky.

I got one from the Wanted section on MM.

Need to find someone who has watercooling their reference cards and is willing to part with the cooler.

sorry my reply was meant for the HG10, the VRM strip cooling can be improved by using a thicker thermal pad that supplied.

Thanks I will look into that.

What thermal pad? The NZXT G10 has no pads, just a 92mm fan blowing on the right side of the core. You need heatsinks wherever there are VRMs and have some airflow over them. Thicker thermals pads are also not a good idea in general.

As far as next HG10 goes, it will be for Nvidia Titan, Titan Black, reference 780, reference 780Ti and should be out in a couple of weeks or so. It won't fit the AMD reference R9 290 or 290x though.

The nzxt g10 apparently doesn't cool the vrms as well as the corsair hg10. I've done a lot of reading on this recently and decided on the corsair for this reason

The HG10 A1 fits 290x my msi gaming edition are on the list of compatible but I have had to go and find reference blower fans.
