It'll be nice when mine gets here. Only my second time messing with water cooling thou.

The H50 is like a air cooler bro, no maintenance at all. Doesn't really feel like water cooling. :laugh:

Radical_Edward · Dec 26, 2010

Yeah, which is nice for me. Plus it'll make my rig look less cluttered inside.

Oh yeah, I love how clean it can make rigs look. Here's an example:

TK-101 · Dec 27, 2010

Getting the H50 to fit with a 38MM thick fan was a chore because of the 200MM side fan.

I like the H50 because it allowed me to eliminate all the water cooling equipment I was running, while only gaining a few degrees over ambient.

Also, I haven't had to drain and fill it, or clean the algae out of my radiator.
CPU Idles at a nice 97F with 70F ambient.

Josh154 · Dec 27, 2010

Look's good man. You will never have to drain and fill your h50. It's a closed loop meaning that no algae or anything will end up in your loop unless you mod you h50.

Those top fan's are nuts! I was like dam i bet that thing raddles like crazy those fan's have to go be so unbalanced but then i realized the fan blades are still there. If you could post a vid with them things spinning with some lights on it it would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to see something like that

I almost have my i7 rig built. Im really thinking about adding another 120mm rad or getting a cheap 240mm rad. I've seen alot of people add stuff rad's or swap out rad's and their system actually handles it. Im leaning towards the 240 because it would be less resistance than another 120 putting less stress on the pump.

Anyone have any thoughts?

xbonez · Dec 27, 2010

The best thing about the H50 is it gives you all the benefits of water cooling without any of the hassles. They really need to make something similar for GPUs.

Radical_Edward · Dec 31, 2010

Got my H50 today!

Yes, I have it installed as exhaust, I'm checking how temps are this way. I'll change it to intake this weekend.

cdawall · Dec 31, 2010

just put one of these in a PC for my bro to help summer temps. not to bad the X4 640 is running around 40C load with a pair of fans on it

got the H70 in my HTPC does it count too?

Yep post pics please

Radical_Edward · Dec 31, 2010

Flipped the fans around.

Josh154 · Dec 31, 2010

Temp difference? My h50 is worse as intake but that's because i have to 8800gts's exhausting out the back running at full load 24/7 so all the h50 can intake is hot air.

Moar pics!!!!?!!!! :rockout:

xbonez · Dec 31, 2010

Guys, I have a question.

I have an AMD Phenom II x4 965 (everything stock). It idles around 40-45 and touches 53 on load (folding). If I overvolt and OC slighlty, it'll reach till 59 and shut down. Max temps for this processor is 62.
Room temperature is about 28-30 degrees.

Are the temps on my processor unusually high? Do you think I should re-do the thermal paste?

brandonwh64 · Dec 31, 2010

Here is my HTPC updated with a GTX 460 SE

Re-paste and check to see if the H50 is installed right.

If that tube off the pump is kinked you may want to rotate the pump to relieve the strain.

I would mount the rad with the tubes at the bottom so that it always draws coolant without air and if there is any air in the system it would not get pumped through,...just my .02c

Eh, looks good this way, I might change it later on. Who knows. From what I saw in the Corsair H50 installation video, this is how they mounted it.

Its not kinked, its just the angle of the picture, ive already checked it when someone else mentioned it

For sure if it's "completely" filled it probably won't make much difference,...but, if there is any air in the system (which there always is) it would tend to sit at the top of the rad.

Radical_Edward · Jan 2, 2011

Thus why I flipped it around today.

I would agree with the make sure its installed right. The copper part of the H50 does not seat right on the AMD CPU's unless it's at an angle like this:

http://www.techpowerup.com/gallery/2748/__4.jpg

Look at the copper and place it without any paste and you will see what I mean. Unless they changed since I bought mine. If the Corsair logo is even with the board it will seat on the screws for the copper plate.

Radical_Edward · Jan 2, 2011

Mine works fine if i seat it differently from that photo.

My Phenom II 945 @3.2Ghz idles at 36*C-37*C and gets up to 45*C-47*C under load.

That's great I just look for any thing that can help is all

It was just something I noticed when I was switching things around in my case.
