Corsair revisits CPU cooling: introducing the Hydro Series H50

Wall-E Case Mod

Now look at me with a straight face and tell me that's not art.

add a little AI and skynet will be born...

EVERYTHING is art

doesnt have to be a drawing, sculpture or anything intended to be art

what about sculptures? how is taking a single piece of marble any different than assembling together a variety of parts into a single sculpture?

ive never seen a painting that means anything more than the colors in them. but when i see something that took decades to create, then its worth much more to me. one of my teachers husbands took a car from the 50s, separated every single piece, and drew all the schematics. and put it back together across the next 20 years, and was able to start it on the first try. building an entire car in your own garage, with only your own work logs, thats art. its no different than a 10,000 piece model

i think your limiting your view to only things half to appeal to others, and thinking how they appeal to yourself dosnt count.

Me and im sure a lot of other people here cant afford "putting the crap together" so this is why im looking to see if this is good !! as its cheap quiet and cheerful

Definitely, check it out. Mine was not a statement about the Corsair cooler at all, it seems neat. Just a point about al the "hassles" of water cooling setups. I like it all, air, water, sub-zero and these little package deals too. I'm a junkie!

One more off topic post and this thread is locked.

ok my bad I wasn't having a dig either just seems some people in the thread forget that some people can't afford those nice setups and have to make do with stuff like this

man wish redbeard wasn't on medical leave I want more info

I think we all do mate......waiting in anticipation for reviews reviews and more reviews lol

[nsegative]

Anyone know who else has a test unit because hardocp?

[tajoh111]

For the nth time, temperature does not have the same meaning as heat.

Just because you water cool your graphics card and bring the temperature down, that doesn't change the fact that the same amount of heat is being dumped into your room.

I don't think this is necessarily true. If you have a strong enough radiator setup, the air coming out of your case is pretty much ambiant. If you felt the air coming out of your videocard, it is not. Especially with the high end.

I think you guys are waiting for a miracle then.

Swiftech has been in the game pretty much longer than anyone. And the design is very similar.

http://www.anandtech.com/casecooling...spx?i=3097&p=6

You can't do that much to improve block design, so I don't think it can account for that much of the difference. Here the temps are worse than the TRUE.

http://www.anandtech.com/casecooling...spx?i=3097&p=9

The max overclock is worse than the TRUE.

Yet somehow corsair has managed to beat the TRUE by 15C on there first try. How is that possible?

You're wrong then.

you do realize that system (nautilius+ H20 swiftech) came out 2+ years ago....... lot's of things have happened since then not trying to have a dig it's just the truth.. I am skeptical I see people having triple rads and all the best stuff having a hard time cooling a I7 overclocked.. but if this just beats or matches the true im on it... this is where you don't understand a lot of the people that are looking at this enthusiastically, no one is comparing it to a high end water system... we KNOW it will loose but if it offers the same temps as my true but quieter and in a much smaller package me and a lot of people will buy it

anyway the only evidence we have shows it beats the true (from corsair...)or at least matches it when overclocked to 4.2ghz(forgot the other site it's in the thread though temps went to 82 max I think on one of the cores WITH HT, which the T.R.U.E would get around too iirc) for the space it saves it's a damn good deal :/






lol read the last page again...

why the f*** where people talking about art??? rofl....

Everyone is still in the old mind state "Buy an expensive watercooler or its not worth it".

This is supposed to outperform aircooling, maybe only by a few degrees nothing spectacular - but at a low price thats what this news is all about.

This is a different block, radiator, possibly even liquid so before we call this another "cheap epic-fail watercooling device" lets wait for reviews on this particular cooler.

You also can't just reinvent the laws of thermaldynamics. You can look at the device and reason what the performance range will be with some common sense. Numbers presented by vendors are often misleading and if you think it's going to beat a TRUE by 7C then you're living in Hogwarts and believe in magic.

There is such a thing as disagreeing respectfully folks.

Quick, someone get one unit and test it before before we get a forum war with multiple losses over here!

[nsegative]

I wonder where the corsair rep went. I'd love to know a release date.

[PhenomII2]

^ Near the end of this month , Frozen CPU have already started taking order for this

Sorry guys I'm out on medical leave for about a week. Just saw this in one of my bouts of clarity.

[nsegative]

Ah that sucks. Best of health to him.

Some stores are now listing the items.

And on sale too! Only 70-72$ in these two stores!

2C would be enough for me...

REVIEWS GIEF NAOW!

[nsegative]

Only up as placeholder right now. Too bad the guy on hardocp got a faulty unit and that no other review site seems to be doing this cooler :/

We are sending out a huge lot of review units so you should see a lot of reviews of this thing trickle out over the next few weeks.

[nsegative]

Welcome back and thanks for the info. Hopefully the June release is on target despite the review units only going out now XD
