H50 Price confusion

paradisiac · 12 Mar 2011 at 09:38

ok, so i want to get my cooler ordered on monday, not decided which to get as the Antec Kúhler H2O 620 CPU Watercooler is still not in stock, so as i dont need imense cooling thought i might just go for the H50 as its cheapest, but OCUK seem to advertise different prices, and obviously i would prefer to get it for the cheaper one

ok cheers, is there much difference between the H50 and the CoolIT Eco A.L.C. 120mm CPU Watercooler?

yeh they confirmed the higher price is the correct one, which is fair enough.
im soo tempted, but i dont wanna spend £56 and wish i had gone for the H70 or waited for the Antec to come back in, or even spend the £3 extra for the CoolIT

too many options

really want one now so i can unlock the 3rd core full time.

yeh will do down the line, hopefully i wont need it up too high anyways as temps are 'safe' on stock cooler, just a bit high for everyday use. my HD6850 is a bit of a noisey little thing too, but to be honest where it is i dont really hear it as im quite a distance away from it

The h50 is a pretty good cooler "i build for OCUK". I do feel it should perform a lot better than it does. Like Nibbles said, get a better fan for it like a Sharkoon 1000rpm.

For the price though, you cant go wrong.

so would you go for the H70?

yeh changing fans aint a problem, neither is the noise to be honest, i dont sit close to the tower and speakers tend to drown out any fan noise.
i want whatever i get to be ok for when i do my BD build, so dont want to get one that 'will do' want to get one thats 'good'

Yea, i understand. What are you trying to cool and are you overclocking it ?

at the moment i have a 555 BE OC'd to 3.8GHz, i have had it running unlocked to tri-core @ 3.9GHz but temps go up very quickly.

Yea, a Prolimatech Megahalems Rev B CPU Cooler will be better to be honist than a h50. It could be better than a H70 but it all depends on the heat output of you chip.

If it was me and u wanted it to look nice. I would create a proper water loop With an EK watercooling block. They do look nice but they are a little more expensive.

not bothered about looks, as its a sealed case, so clear panels. just want to to be as cool as possible, but also dont want to loose any ram slots.
