Will do a H50 bench later today for you guys. Just so you can compare.

Thanks

Will they ever bring out one that can do both CPU and GPU??

I guess there would be no easy way of supporting all the different GPUs... you'd end up with a dozen GPU adapters... still would be great if there was one.

I just cant get what I was once told out of my head... Water + Electricity dont mix

H50 temps for comparison.

Tested on the same rig cooling the 980X. Using the Single 120mm fan supplied with it/

Idling on desktop. 4ghz 1.344vcore

Folding 4ghz 1.44vcore

Prime 4ghz 1.344vcore

Quite abit hotter, you can really see the improved rad size and extra cooling taking effect in the H70.

Its a good 10oC cooler under load.

Why not just cough up an extra 30-50 quid and get full water set up?

Looks good and shiny thou

Not a very good H70! Worse than H50 to be honest!

Yep agree with you.

NathWraith - have you try tested out sample of CoolIt Eco A.L.C. 240mm Radiator CPU Watercooler yet ? I think this one could easy beat the H50/H70 overall.

Just give a twist and turn. Wiggle it off but be careful not to get any thermal paste under the CPU. Don't bend any pins aswell (if its AMD).

thanks nathwraith that worked well i was just worried it would break

Sweet. Just remember to remove all the old thermal paste and clean the CPU up before putting the H50 on.

get a blade and edge away at it- it will pop off ok

Don't do that, you risk damage. Twisting is the best method (common sense really!)

H70 push/pull Vs H50 push

why not do a H50 push/pull with the H70 fans? id like to see that test.

because most if not all people who buy this will want to run push/pull so i think it would be fair no?

lol the i7 980x isn't mine now but I am very happy with i7 920 d0 4.2Ghz with noctua D14 very cooling and very quiet. Not bother about 4.5Ghz to be honest.
