yeah use your own thermalpaste btw =)
Use your own fans as well, push pull drops upto 15C with these.Quote:

Would love to see some pictures of that install/setup
Mine came today, trying it on my amd x2 550 4 core unlocked at 3.9 ghz, im impressed , lot better than my sunbeam core contact cooler
Only came with the intel bracket, but i got the amd fitting last week from corsair.
Only problem i have is i cant fit it wuth tubes to left or right, have to be on top, and side panel wont fit on my antec 900 with it :-(

To all H50 users, how do you run your pump/block config ? Mine is installed with the Corsair logo horizontal. I got a pm that when rotating it 180°C ( so the Corsair logo upside down ) that the kit's performance is slightly better.
I will try this myself and will report back, if anyone feels the urge to test it out, plz report back here with results...
Kind regards Albrecht
RIP KEITH Suppe
This would be interesting..........Quote:

If you check the alignment of the cooling channels, I think conventional cooling cannon states you should flow water across the cores.
Hey was planning to get this with a lancool dragon series. The depth of the case is around 8.27 inches....would the side panel close with the radiator mounted at the rear exhaust...saw a post somewhere where some dudes Antec 900 would not close after installing this....what should be the depth of the case for this to be properly installed.
If you can mount the rad in a normal position so with the tubes either at the top or the bottom you will have no issue mounting it or when closing the case. But in case like the guy above, when you can't mount it in a normal way, the protrusion of the in and outlets will interfere with the case door ( this is due to the fact he got the top pci(E) slot filled with a soundcard )
Ok...thanks that helps...my top couple of slots are usually free. I have my GPU in the third PCIE slot and nothing above that except for a single wifi controller....so it should fit fine I would guess.
Oh c'mon. It's been like 3 months and not a single shop has the Hydro H50 here in Slovenia. What a disapointment.
They are pretty rare in the UK too.......though I managed to get one, just aint got the time for an overhaul til later this week :(Quote:

First of all, I only have the exhaust fan up top for the case (I have a fan in front and in the "lower" chamber but they all pull air in), second this will be pulling in air from the power supply exhaust and the graphics card exhaust. I have contemplated flipping it to be an exhaust and using dual fans for push/pull, but the reviews seem to give varying opinions on this. I could try to pull and/or vent from the top - but venting hot air out the top seems like a no brainer. I could move a hard drive in my center case and try to pull air from the front.
Has anyone used an H50 in this case (or a case like it) - How did you mount it? Are you happy with the results?
BTW - I have 4 sticks of RAM and I had to increase the voltage on my Northbridge chip already and I have to watch the temp carefully.

I have a Thermaltake Spedo, and whilst its not like a P180, I had the same issues in terms of using a high rear fan port as an intake.Quote:

The exhaust system will only be effecient if you have adequate air intake (so when the air reaches the rad, its cool :P).
Hope this helps

A few questions:
How long are the water tubes?
Do you know of any adapters that would let me use their 120mm radiator/fan in a 140mm mount?
How terrible would it be to mount the radiator inside the case somewhere? After all, that's what most air coolers do, right? If someone with a P80 has any ideas, please let me know.
Was the question over possible corrosion with this thing ever settled? I was thinking about using one of these to use in a little mini-ITX build, but the aluminum rad + copper block seems like a huge warning sign to me. I searched back through this thread and others also brought up the same question, but I never saw a definitive answer except to guess there is a ton of anti-corrosion in their liquid. Anyone know?
would this be possible ?
harddrive to the upperslot
remove that front fan and make some modifications to the case (make a hole so that the cpu block and tubes can get through)
would use push/pull
according to corsair, the tubes are 11inches long, I don't know from which point they measured that and also how flexible the tubes are ?
http://i977.photobucket.com/albums/a...50sonataII.jpg
I don't think the airflow is that good enough at the front of that case mate, unless you start overmodding the HD casing and the front of the case... I would just use it ,as it's foreseen to be used, drawing ambient air via the rear... better modding would be a sidefan in ya case door to suck hot air out. Tubes are very rigid and about 22 cm long, I measured them from the center of the CPU/PUMP block till the rad (with some flex forseen )
I've tried using the H50, outside of the case, result : zero performance gain, but the case ambient's were 5-8°C lower after an hour of tests...
okay, thanks for the quick reply.
22cm won't work.
The intake fan is in awkward position to really be considerd as an intake fan.
I was also thinking, instead of your idea, making an exhaust in the top of the case. I've got 13cm between the end of the PSU and the end of my DVDwriter. (case=antec sonataII btw)
Found a shop nearby but it will take a week before I can go pick it up (http://vbscomputers.be/product_info....ducts_id=47985)
I wonder if it will be beter than my TRUE ?
A bit cheaper at JAHA: linkie http://www.jaha.be/product_info.php?products_id=4895
If you get the air flowing in ya case it will probably be a tad better then ya TRUE (but I would really opt for that sidepanel mod to suck hot air out) but don't expect the announced 10°C difference... Keep us posted how it goes...
but I will have to pay for shipping,at the other shop I can go pick it up myself.Quote:

Not a big deal if it doesn't cool better than my true, just a new toy to play with :)
Mine cools around the same as my old TRUE, but leaves me with alot more room in my case :DQuote:

idle temps dropped from +- 40 to +- 29 °C
load temps dropped from +- 70/66 to 58/52 ° C
IBTv2 temps dropped from max 76°C to 66°C
I think the case has a lot to do with it :up:
Intake front: 2x120 nexus D12SL-12
side: the corsair fan that came with the h50
Exhaust top: 140mm antec fan on low
bottom: corsair vx550w PSU

Also: Thermalright HR05 + nexus on the NB
Sapphire HD4850 + Arctic Accelero + nexus D12SL-12
2x enzotech mosfet coolers
All in all I'm very happy with the results ...

Bumping up an old thread....did I read somehwre that mounting it a certain way on the cpu results in gains?
Secondly I have two sets of fans that I could use. The 1450 GT's and the Yateloon High speeds, WOuld I get much better temps with high speed yates....the GT's seem to perform well with radiators and the yates didnt do anything for temps on my Baram.
someone posted tht turning it up side down ( logo of Corsair as reference ) jielded better results... I've not tested it in a different orientation so I cannot confirm them findings... thing what you have if you mount it and then remount it, you probably have replaced the TIM which could jield slightly better results... for the fans I had slightly better results with high flow/speed fans, though the noise/temp gain ratio was not good at all :) review with diferent tests at eg www.madshrimps.com webbie...
Hey just the person I was wishing would answer the question...what I am planning to do is have the inflow thru the 2 GT's on the radiator and the outflow from the top with 2 yates....how does that sound?
Should be good mate, hope you feel happy with the H50, for me it was a nice replacement for my TRUE... and it's a sort of show off thingy at LAN parties :p
Thanks mate....and will be sure to post my results.
Sorry for the double post, but got my cooler today and had it installed in an hour flat...
Played around with the fans a bit and finally got two fans drawing air into the case from the side panel and the H50 in P/P pushing air out of the case....some observations I had:
1. If you have good inflow use that to keep the radiator on outflow mode
2. Warm intake air makes a big difference to temps, in the range of about 2-3 degrees on load. The reason this happened for me, was when I was trying P/P with intake, my top fans were exhausting hot air, which was then being pulled in by the rear radiator fans. I have a Sniper case and as u guys know it has a plastic piece on top, which kind of moves the air towards the outside rear of the case. Now as my case was under a table, the intake fans were sucking this in. Moving the case from under the table made a difference.
3. I am going to test this vs. a Baram and would like to know if u guys want me to try anything specific in terms of tests...I plan on using prime.
4. I am using 1450 GT's so they are absolutely quiet and I can barely hear the pump. While gaming my gpu makes a lot more noise.
I have used about 4 different air coolers in the last year or so and I can definitely say this is very good for the price. I have just finished stock load and idle testing. Its about the same on idle and around 3-4 degrees better on load...will be overclocking some to see the difference at higher loads...mind that I am using a 140 W 965, so that does throw up some significant heat.
EDIT: DO u need more than the normal amount of TIM on this....have just put a very thin layer on the cpu, spread out with the finger in plastic method.
Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting this Corsair H50 cooler for a new build but was wondering about the longevity of such a device.
Corsair states that the evaporation is low but given that the coolant resides in a closed loop (with no way to refill), how long before the cooler becomes unusable due to evaporation?
well their oem warranty is 5years.. and corsairs is 2.. so somewhere between therer i guess :/Quote:

why woudl regular water be an issue? do they mix metals in the loop?Quote:

Mav, I don't think anyone has had to fill it yet. Well, unless they screwed up. If it leaked I'm sure it's under warrenty. I don't see any docs anywhere on how to refill it, it's a sealed unit, not meant to be opened. Gonna be hard to fill/bleed unless there is a fill port on it somewhere. Thankfully I don't own one and don't have to find out.
When I opened my first sample I spilled too much ( due to my fault ), refilled it with a syringe via the opened unit, then extra drops via via the leak screw.. but it still isn't as filled properly as the unopenend sample... more gurgling sound at startup)
I am very proud of this little Corsair H50. I bought it as an alternative to a TRUE after having a good experience with other Corsair products (800D, Dominator, power supply). I have been able to run at 4.2 for months, with P95 load temps in the high 60, low 70 range.
I have now ditched the default Corsair fan and put a Panaflo 120x38 @ 2200-3200 rpm. Works great! Currently testing 4.5 (215x21 @ 1.5 V). It's been going for about 15 hours now, load temps approach 80C, but it is alot of Vcore/QPI/ICH, what else did I expect?
I figure there is no excuse to not be Xtreme! The damn Core i7 CPU is not only one of the cheapest chips I have ever purchased, but these days is the cheapest thing in my rig (Microcenter $199). And thats not considering that it has a 3 year warranty. I say let them burn!
Good lord...
