Corsair HG10 Cooler

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

Yeah it's one reason I have gone with the corsair, not only that but it looks so much better.
Plus I can even keep the back plate

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.

Aye, I meant reference PCB, doesn't have to be reference cooler necessarily. Sorry I should have been clearer.

Look up "DC brushless fan model FD7525U12D". AMD has been using the same blower fan for several generations now so the fan from older blower fans will work also as long as it is AMD reference cooler and not aftermarket blower from someone like HIS.
 
The tubing is 11.5" apparently

I had to get the measuring tape out and the AIO that I wanted wont fit where I want it to go in my 540 Air. I've bought one anyway and will figure something out.

Hopefully my HG10 arrives today

Cool I been told by corsair that the H75 will fit so thats what am going to go with.. Would have liked a thicker Rad though.

Just waiting on some stock blower fans to get delivered and then i'll order GH10 and H75..

Seeing I already had the cooler off one my GPUs thats going to be the testing card. If all goes well with that card i'll move onto the other in couple weeks.

they make a massive difference. my 290x's never go above 60C with thw nzxt but your right it has a lot worse VRM cooling mine with heatsinks on still hit 99C with the nzxt fans on full power.

Would like to try the corsair ones out tbh and see if they make any difference.

60c I will be very happy with.. I been taking recording of my VRMs before I make the change and VRM1 sits around 80c while VRM2 is around 10c lower

So if I can keep the core much lower while maybe lower or same VRMs ill be very happy.

Yeh im only using a h55 as well so you should get a bit better. My core was 95c on the stock cooler.

I am running +60mva as well
 
I'm fitting mine later today, still cant decide where to mount the H55 though

My warmest VRM I've seen at 77C recently so I'm keen to see what that figure changes to with the HG10 fitted
 
Again, no. The thinner the pads, the better the thermal performance (directly proportional to area, inversely proportional to length of transfer). The only way thicker pads would have performed better is if the thinner ones made very poor contact with the VRMs to begin with, in which case you should ask for another bracket or see if your PCB has had some changes to components since these are CNC machined to within a few microns and both my random retail samples were fine.
 
I've fitted mine and getting lower VRM temps than with the reference cooler, high 50s low 60s

The core is generally low 60s and the best bit of all, my PC is a hell of a lot quieter

TBH, my VRM temps have been good with the HG10 so maybe I'll leave them is they are.

Glad to see that you guys are getting better temps with the HG10. Thanks for sharing your results.. We'd like to see more feedback from you guys as much as possible :)
 
Really debating swapping my nzxt g10's for corsairs. Top cards vrns are hitting 90c whilst gaming even with heatsinks on them and the fans at 100%

With the HG10 + NZXT X31 fitted.

Gaming temps are:

Core @ 56'c
VRM1 @ 74'c
VRM2 @ 54'c

X31 is set to performance, the rad has the stock NZXT fan pulling, with a 140 AF pushing

Idle temps are:

Core@ 28'c
VRM1 @ 25'c
VRM2 @ 27'c

And it looks very neat, so easy to set up in crossfire imo.
