Corsair H50 watercooling a quick look

[RejZoR]

Can someone do me a favor. I need dimensions (preferably in milimeters) for:
- tubes length (from CPU block to radiator)
- tubes diameter
- radiator dimensions (without fan)
- CPU block dimension (not necessary but doesn't hurt to know).

I wanna somehow fit this into my Thermaltake VF6000 case and i need to know it's dimensions.
I need the performance of TRUE, but the size of it doesn't allow me to use it in this case.
Corsair Hydro H50 is suppose to be a perfect size, but i think i'll have to place the radiator outside the case.

[Leeghoofd]

Will measure them for ya mate, keep ya posted, take note that you can't remove tubing or replace them so placing it outside the case is harder than you think (and I tried the last option , the unit is designed to work at 99% of it's capacity like it is... faster and more fans and co help to shave off a few precious degrees, but noting more, nothing less...

[RejZoR]

I know. That's why i need the size info so i can check if i can place it inside my uATX case somehow and if that fails, how to route the tubes outside the case without having to chop either the case or tubes. Or with the least required modifications on the case.

Can you tell me how audiable is the pump noise? Because current AXP-140 cooler with NB XL2 fan is nearly dead silent but hardly keeps up with i7 920. H50 should be much better but i'm afraid that pump itself might be too noisy than desired, let alone fan on the rad.

[Leeghoofd]

It was inaudible with a closed case, as Chew mentioned pump makes a gurgling noise the first secs, then goes pretty silent (there's still a fan on the rad :p) Noise measurements here : H50 noise It's performance is in the region of a TRUE, a lot depends on the cases air flow (mine had loads of fans so it could best and even slightly beat the TRUE)

[RejZoR]

Well, i can't fit TRUE in so that's one of the reasons for H50...

[Chris_redfield]

Has anyone had any experience with these? And how do they compare to the corsair?

Just wanted to give my results, just installed the h50 last night. I had a high end air cooler with a e8400 and at 4.0ghz in occt I was hitting 62c-65c and in burn test I was hitting 72c-75c this is in an antec 900. I installed the h50 in the push pull config with the rear as an intake like the directions state. I have the side fan as an exhaust and the top fan as an exhaust with the two front intake fans. I was very pleased with the results coming from a high end air cooler. The occt temps went from 62c-65c to 50c-55c and the burn test temps went from 72c-75c to 65c. So a average drop of 10c over my high end air cooler in all the same test conditions. I am very happy for $49 you can beat it. Very quiet as well!! A+++ Ahh almost forgot at 4.5ghz it runs at the same temp as it used to at 4.0ghz on air.

Arent your temperatures too high chew?

60 º degrees at 3.0 ghz?

I think they re too high.. is h50 realy worthy ?

For my particular chip at my room temps? No. Temps are 1-2C off from my true 120. If temps were to high prime wouldn't run now would it

High leakage chips are not best suited for air/water applications. Lower default vid does not mean less heat/leakage it's actually opposite.

They fare far better on ln2. The ocer in me since I bench ln2 always picks high leakage chips for my systems ( I know how to pick them )

[Thrmionicshaman]

Just a heads up. If anyone feels that the backplate is flimsy the backplate from a Zalman 9500 etc fits the threads on the H50 screws-provided you have one lying around

[Dr.Paneas]

Whoa, what an unexpected present I suppose :P Good for you

Does this support LGA 1356 socket ?

EDIT: Of course it does: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=82317
If you have the old version, just sent a mail to Corsair for replacement. or buy it https://shop.corsair.com/store/item_...spx?id=1150701

Reckon this would be good for my caseless rig? I have a TRUE on my Phenom II x2 550 (Unlocked, seems to be high leakage as it runs way hotter than most Phenom IIs I see?) and it idles at 43c, loads at 55c with a Low Speed Panaflo 38mm thick fan with a shroud.. If I get the H50, would I see a noticeable decrease in temperatures? (I don't care about the loudness due to my GPU fan running at 50Db anyway)

Don't think its meant to Dethrone the true but it's an option to use versus a true without sacrificing OC at lower noise.

[RejZoR]

55°C at load and you're worried about temperatures? Don't be silly. I really don't see any point in getting Hydro H50 for this one.

I also need to know the overall height of the block/pump. Basically from the base to the top.

Thanks

tomorrow evening lads, then I'm at home again...

How noisy is the actual pump? My system is ultra silent but cooling capabilities hardly keep up with i7 920. H50 would be great to combat that, but i'm afraid it'll just be too noisy.

Too noisy you say?
I have one cooling my Q9550 (c1) @ 4ghz, with 2 12cm fans @ 7v in push/pull config. with all hardware on top of a table, and even my HDD's make more noise than the H5O...
The system is pretty quiet, and don't forget, this is on top of a table...
I think inside a closed case, you'd hear nothing, even with 2 fans @ 12v.

[Leeghoofd]

Measurements :

Pump unit height 6cm (no tubing taken into account)
Pump unit with tubing bend at 90°C : 10.5cm (measured at highest point)
Tubing length : +/- 26cm
Rad dimensions : 15 x 12 cm, 2.5cm thick

[RejZoR]

Thx Leeghoofd. I'll check it out how it goes with these dimensions.

@Sesto Sento
Yeah, my system is on top of the desk and side panels are perforated so all the noise goes directly out into my ears.

which high end air cooler you used previously

Thank you.

Can you mount the pump/block in any direction? ie does the label have to face a certain way?
