If this is really as good as they're claiming, I know I'll take the plunge on it on any upcoming builds. I've been looking at an i7, and if this can tackle the beast, I'm sold. :yepp:

Sweetness :shocked: That price is unbelievably great for the performance we get.Quote:

Now Corsair, launch this in Sweden an you have an instant buyer:up:
+1 it has unbelievable performance!!!! my 18th in a month so come on get in stores over here quickly!!! :PQuote:

Was thinking of going liquid for quite a while...but wonder when it will be finally launched. Looks good and am eagerly awaiting reviews.
55C under load for a core i7 965 @ 3.5ghz?
this is exactly why i want it!!! :DQuote:

Shoot, If I can spend the money on a copper TRUE I won't have a good excuse not to get one.
i'm slowly becoming a fan boy for certain companies...imo company loyalty is bred, and the following companies have proven that they're consistently great
-EVGA
-Corsair
-Intel
Intel for the fact that they've been pumping out great value processors that are fast as hell and overclock with ease. And their X25 drives...those things are sick
All I have to say is get a real LC system instead of bothering with this crap. 1x120mm rad != enough for proper CPU cooling.
I think you're confused. Just cause you spend 3x the money, and work your ass off to get it setup and tested, doesn't mean it's that much better.Quote:

so its out (or sold out due to not actually being out yet?), where are the reviews?
just because you are too lazy to know the facts let me lay them out:Quote:

as you can see that is a nicer 120mm rad than on the corsiar unit and it can still barely dissipate 190w of heat. A single 120mm rad is just not adequate for CPU cooling ever, not even considering that I doubt the quality of corsairs waterblock internals :rolleyes:
the chart shows little good info. having a 10c difference between coolant and air is not a constant number, but has a pretty important factor when it comes to watts that can be dissipated
? all I am saying is that with a 10c water air difference (pretty bad, usually users shoot for 5C) you only get a MAX (with high speed, loud fan) of 190W and that is too weak for good cooling of an i7.Quote:

Guys, you gotta keep the price in mind! :yepp:
I think being as good as True would be already good for these $$$. It actually can be a few degrees better, it's possible, against non-modded True.
I don't think anyone has said great custom water cooling systems are useless. ;) They will obviously cool a whole lot better. Even if this small one was a bit worse than True, it would be still good for small cases or show off for newb friends. :p:

$139 for a no hassle FAR more adequate cooling system that comes with an industry standard pump that can be used in a more complex loop later on.
That's an AseTek LCLC 120mm, the're not bad coolers when use push-pull with decent fans, 4GHz on a Q9xxx E0, 3.6-3.8 on an i7 C1, not sure how they'll cope with D0 i7s. But our American cousins used one on this rig to get an i7 975 to 4.15GHz.
when it comes to removing heat, all setups can move the same amount, its just at what efficiency, which then affects the cpu temp.Quote:

I think it will cool the i7's well. The reason I believe these units will sell well (if they deliver the promised performance) is cause people nowdays are wanting a lot more than just POWER. A few years back, I didn't care about the stuff I do now, but I realize it's part of the maturing process. Now, I not only look for the obvious performance and value, but also ease of use, and warranty/customer support. When you buy one of these units, it's easy as pie to set up, it has a warranty and support, and it cools nice and is cheap. The total package.
ok now i see the one photo showing the rest of the pieces, 5 showing off just the rad. looks like your paying almost double to get no where near double performance i bet. why spend 140$ on crappy setup, when for 140$ i can still cool my cpu, but with a pump and enough rads to cool over 500W, which i have done before. (50$ block, 50$ pump, 2x 20$ heatercores)Quote:

If I can oc a crappy c0 e8500 to 4.3 24/7 with a TRUE, then I'm pretty sure the H50 will be able to handle a 920 @ 4G's. Comparison may seem non-sensical to some, but what I'm trying to say is that IF the preliminary tests are true (mainly, the H50 beating the TRUE by quite a bit), then it will be able to handle an oc'ed i7 (and quite easily).
