That really makes no sense to me. Why pay extra shipping and handling for something that should come with the box. Its ok for guys in the US or EU and UK, but what abt in Asia and India??Quote:

makes sense to me, dont want it being undervolted too much so then it doesnt run!!! :eek:Quote:

Tested with 2 high performance fans on rad plus replaced TIM with MX2
This is really a hot CPU, I can bench it under air at 4.5 but that's where it stops, it's benchable till 5Ghz with Phase, with Cascade till 5.3

I7 test is for the review :p more piccies and numbers there... don't jump too conclusions too soon, await full review and numbers from other reviewers !!
It's a matter of the AMD brackets being available from our supplier. The first run of them had significant issues so we had to scramble for another solution.Quote:

It is very clear now that I'm not going to replace my TRUE. Was hoping for +10c different.
random questions, how many watts is the pump using? it might have been stated already some 5 pages back, but i cant keep up
It would be much appreciated if someone could test this water setup on an open air system (another words outside of a case).
It will not outperform a high-end aircooler outside of a case. It's designed to outperform high-end aircoolers in typical case configurations where ambient temperature is higher than outside the case.Quote:

so is it recommended to set the fan to pull in air from outside the case? i would much rather have the radiator away from the case using standoffs. kinda like how you see radiators on the back of cases. it would use the outside air, and it would dump the heat outside. something no air cooler can ever do (unless you make your case custom to isolate the heatsink from the rest of the case, but good luck)Quote:

atleast someone sees things the way i do. id hate to go by the madshrimps review, e.g i see X cooler doing 55c on a q6600 at 3.8ghz, so im like ok ill get that cooler for my q6600 to run at 3.6ghz, then im like wtf why my cpu running 10c hotter at 3.6ghz with less voltage than the cpu in the review running at 3.8ghz?? turns out i used linpak and review used prime. :mad:Quote:

i agree, these days i use linpak (linx) to do stability testing for the cpu since its the fastest way to find out stability on the cpu. i do still use prime in blend mode to hit my memory controller and goldmemory to hit the ram. hopefully one day there will be a dos based stress tester that you just boot from and it tests everything for you.
but yes these days more and more people are getting clued up and are using linpak for stressing the cpu. i cant understand why a review site would want to review a cooler and not present the cooler a decent challenge. using dual core for the testing is bad enough as it is. prime on top of that and its just being silly now.
i just do a 24hour linpak to slap the crap out of my cpu for overclock testing. prime for cpu stressing is no good these days.
you guys are idiots.
not only does running such stress tests as IBT and linX for long periods of time physically shorten the lifespan of your CPU (even prime is bad for the CPU) but it also is pointless as leeghoofd says there is no REAL PROGRAM that will stress your CPU as much as prime and therefore it is not worth clocking for stability in anything more stressful than prime. period. You all think your proving something by running these extreme torture tests but in reality your just proving you have no regard for reality or the health of your CPU.
I like your style buddy...lol you remind me of myselfQuote:

back on topic now, since this is about cpu cooler reviews the more heat used the better it is. most people here wanted to see if the corsair rad would reach a saturation point. using prime wont show any of that especially on a dual core cpu.
Sorry,i'am also not agree..i have here more then 100 chess engines and many off them stress the cpu more then Prime and these are my daily programs!!
My system has to be stable with my chess programs,no matter what other bench or stress program you use!
So,the only result that matters me is to see how good the Hydro H50 can handle my chess program!
And if it can give me much better temps (like -7°C from my max. now) then i will buy it.
JP.
From my experience Linpack is better for stability testing atleast - and I never ever run it longer then an hour, more than that is just dumb. An hour has always been enough for me, after that I go on with running WCG 24/7, playing games and other everyday uses.Quote:

Only speaking from my own experience on this one, but I personally prefer Linpack for my stability testing. The only one I am proving anything is to myself, that my system is infact stable.
I'm at about 24 hours of total testing just for this H50 unit per CPU (due to numerous test variables)Quote:

Secondly you must consider this is a single rad unit. I'm testing at 3.8Ghz for the I7 as this CPU seems to be a hot head too. It was already throttling with the stock cooler at 3.9GHz, so I backed down to 3.8 to just keep it under 100°C :D. This cooler is not foreseen for high OC's, it's an easy step up from a stock cooler and performs alike and depending on the case used and airflow, better than most high end air coolers.
Thirdly FYI LinX nor IBT give me a 100% stability test tool, I can succesfully run IBT at max mem and yet cap out in eg Hyperpi 32mb ( 8 threads) in the first iteneration. There's no such thing as the ideal tool, a mix is required... and the best test is daily usage.
Linx stable means absolutely nothing. It's all in between ya ears ! If you think you are extreme by using LinX or IBT good for you then.
Fourthly Corsair gave each reviewer a well documented what-to-do-list, I already deviated from that by using my own prime test instead of the large test ( this to keep the results in conformity with the already available database at Shrimps )
Cyber , my E7400 makes my phase unit running so hot at 5ghz ( while that modded Unit can hold the E8600 at 5.75Ghz bench stable ) So don't tell me about heat. This is one hot motha.
But to each his own... ask the other reviewers to use LinX or IBT...
Link me to them plz, so I can compare temp results and will pm ya the results...thing why we use prime is as we are expanding the current database. Switching to another program means redoing all them coolers and waterblocks...Quote:

I also dont get why guys want to torture this much their machines?
Everyone knows the use and potential of their machines.So why do i need to strees test for lets ay 24 hours when i m not going to do something that will require the system to be @100% for 24 hours?
ps:Leeghoofd,any guess when the reiew will be ready.Sorry but i really cant wait to see the results -good or bad-
I hope end of this week mate, gonna see AC/DC tomorrow and need to recuperate from that :p. Most of the writing is done. Just checking with other reviewers and Corsair for pointers...
One thing I discovered it that the fan runs about 70rpm faster on the I7 mobo then on the S775. So I need to check that too and hook the fan and pump straight to the PSU maybe
Btw Sosna Metaxa, Retsina rock !!

also having the rear fan as exhaust seems like it would disrupt the normal airflow in the case
I'm definitely going to experiment with different fan configurations when I get mine
hoping the tubing is long enough that I can try mounting the radiator on the front of my P182 where the 2x hard drive cage normally is
Mmm let's say when you wake up results will be online. This if you have 6-8 hours of sleep :). I'll measure the tubing length for ya, so you can see if you can make it to install the rad in front of the case...
awesome, thanks manQuote:

Good air flow is a must if you want this unit to perform optimal
I would like to see if H50 fit in front of Antec 902 in the HDD cage. May it give a better results than back mounting? Tubing length in centimeters?Quote:

I didn't check the flatness of the bottom plate till a few minutes ago.
Other thing I asked which TRUE fan Corsair used in their comparisive test. He couldn't confirm i f it was the boxed one or a higher rpm version. At the moment he was using a noctua cooler and still got that 10°C difference in advantage of the H50. I confirmed him on my unit the TRUE got the better of the H50. This with the TRUE bundled with the 1600rpm fan (not the stock 1000rpm fan which is in the box) The TRUE gains by a few degrees.
He then advised me to check the screws and the flatness of the bottom plate. I also got this mail from him :
I’ve just been informed about a possible manufacturing fault with some H50 units. It’s limited to a small percentage of the units, and we discovered it before many units went out to reviewers or customers, but it’s possible that it may affect the unit you have.
The problem is with the countersink bore on the cold plate. In some cases, the screws that attach the cold plate to the pump unit may not be fully seated, which may reduce the surface contact between the cold plate and the CPU, lowering the cooling performance.
You can visually inspect your review unit to see if the problem exists. If your unit is affected then the screws in the cold plate will not be fully countersunk.
If you have a H50 with the problem, we will swap it out immediately, and we’ll do the same for any customer who has the problem, though we don’t believe there will be many. In fact, we haven’t had any reports of the problem from customers so far, so this is mainly a precautionary measure.
If anyone of you already got this unit and performance is not as good as advertised plz check the screws on the bottom
guess I will go ahead and order it
Hold off mate till some more data pops up... I'm gonna cranck up the speeds to 4Ghz and see what happens then, bad unit or not. Once I get them results I post them, but be warned that other units might perform better
I'm tired of waiting :p:Quote:

It will not shorten the life of the CPU if your max load temp under those programs is still safe, if however your at like 75c Prime with an i7 CPU and with Linpack/LINX your 85c-90c then thats different, but that means its clocked too high anyways.Quote:
Originally Posted by SNiiPE_DoGG

The flaw in peoples thoughts on this seem to be that if your system is stable for hours on Prime but not on LINX, then it will be stable forever on anything that doesn't stress it over Prime levels, thats wrong.
The less stress just means less of a chance to run into an error, but if its not truly stable then you will eventually get one.
If you don't care about that, its fine, completely up to you and what you find important.
But when people here talk in terms of "Stable" their talking about Perfectly stable under the highest stress testing programs available to us, not "doesn't crash in my games" stable.
Explain me then why I am linX stable (max mem and 64bit OS) yet cannot complete a superpi 32mb run ? Really guys there's no ultimate testing tool, each one has it's advantages but sadly also it's flaws. I opted for custom prime 20k for the database to avoid getting different numbers and comparisons.
Keep us posted how it performs sirQuote:

get one of these kits and do a comparitive review- you would get the rad for the corsair and a competitor in one package. PM gabe I am sure he could get you one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835108105
This unit is designed for zero maintenance so you shouldn't have to worry about evap or filling. You're more than welcome to cut the tubing, drain it, and add your own radiator, but that would void the warranty of course. We decided to go with the single 120mm radiator for maximum compatibility. There aren't many cases where you can fit a 240mm rad without modding, and certainly the minute you use the word "cut" in your instructions you lose like 75% of the people who are interested in buying it at least.
Again, we want people to think of this like a high end aircooler, not a low-end watercooler. It's designed to compete with aircooling more than anything, which is why the price point is so low comparatively.
im sold on this, i like building compact, and i mean very compact cases, and a good high perf air cooler in a much smaller size that can be put anywhere.
whats its total weight and how many watts does the pump use?
When could I buy this on Spain? I have an HTPC proyect in mind and this will suit well.
this looks great for people that don't have any WC equipment yet, but for those that do and already have some spare tubing, what size are the barbs and tubing? they look smaller than 3/8" ID. and since you mentioned "cut", how would we go about doing this? from the pics, the tubings go all the way INTO the pump. what's it connected to in there? how can we patch 3/8" tubing on this thing for a custom length?Quote:

I"m awaiting if I can post these piccies yes or no... trying to refill it with my liquid fluid and see if I can get rid of that gurgling noise...
Here were my initial results ( so to be redone once I get a new unit )

are you allowed to post pics of the internals? please do :D
I don't know of any programs that will cause as much vdroop as Linpack, and that lower vcore that you will never, ever see otherwise will be "unstable" in Linpack. I've passed 40 runs of IBT, Prime small fft, blend, Memtest 3.8, 86+ and was still having odd freezeing, then failed a custom prime run in 2 minutes. Once I got everything so I didn't fail that custom prime run I haven't seen a BSOD or freeze up since and it's been months, I don't even know that it passes IBT and I don't care.Quote:

I should also mention that on my old e8400 I have passed 40 runs of IBT and then right after failed prime small fft in around 45 minutes on a couple of different boards, nothing a little GTL tweeking didn't fix.

And like said before I have 2 screws that are not 100% well countersunk. I suspect due to that, the bottom plate is a bit bend now ( very thin copper ) : convex on one side, flat on the other end. Hopefully the new sample will nibble off a few more degrees...
so then theoretically, it should perform a little better if the bottom plate is how it's suppose to be right? are you going to test again after you get the replacement unit? thanks for the test result so far :up:Quote:

So good news after all.
Leeghoofd could you post some pics with the unit installed in your rig?Also did the True had a push pull configuration?
@Redbeard:Will Corsair fix all this minor problems for the units that are about to be sold or it ll be a case of luck for the customer?
ps:cant wait for Ender17 results.
http://users.telenet.be/OAP2/Corsair...0installed.jpg
I couldn't get a 2nd mount for the TRUE so it's one fan at 1600RPM. Lookign forward to Ender's results too
Leeghoofd would that mounting method allow you to change CPU without having to take out the whole motherboard?
Yes, the rear bracket is fixed to the mobo, so it stays put when you unscrew the whole unit... I asked for an AM2/3 bracket with the new unit ( if possible )
Sweet that's exactly what I wanted to hear:up:Quote:

If you use the same push pull config for H50 like with the True would it affect much those degrees?

Hmm. Looks decent for the size and price.
Also with your (system temps lower for the HR-01)
Maybe it should be tested against the Swiftech H2O-120 kit?:shrug:
I think the ST kit will generally out-perform it.
But its a little more price wise as well.
If it turns out to be consistant with your guys test, then the only other
question will be reliability of the pump.
how does this think handle medium heat cpus with the fans set at dead silent? for the htpc users
Probably not very well, there is a very high number of fins per inch. This kind of translates to good high-speed performance, and bad low-speed. An HR-01 would be a better option I think.Quote:
