Corsair revisits CPU cooling: introducing the Hydro Series H50

[Dante80]

From the looks of it, the setup left much to be desired...

1> The TRUE setup uses one more fan (the exhaust fan).
2> Not only that, but the "exhaust fan" in the corsair setup was put on push (intake) mode, thus killing airflow and getting hot air from the radiator to hit the mobo.
3> The side fans in the stacker just ed up things more. You do not design airflow this way (that goes for both setups), you just end up adding turbulence to the system. Choose your strategy (positive or negative pressure), and adjust your setup accordingly.

I'm waiting personally for a frostytech review so that we can see the cooler efficiency under clean conditions (bench table, stable watts to dissipate for all solutions). Also, we need to see results for lower rpms and watts (maybe spcr will pick up a sample). This kit is still more suited to a HTPC rig, not an overclokced i7 one (not that it should not aim that category)...
