yeah I knew the H50 wasn't up to some of the big coolers, but then I didn't want something so massive in my case. I only have a mid size case and something like that would fill it, The H50 is quite low profile especially if you put the pull fan on the outside of the case. its good enough for me, I'm not an extreme overclocker as I got a few basic improvements which are noticable then im happy everything opens up within a blink of an eye so cant see myself needing anymore power for a few years yet
