Corsair H50 watercooling a quick look

[Frogeye]

Say, how would the H50 modded with shroud and a high pressure fan like Ultra Kaze 2000 or 3000 (push, blowing air out of a very well ventilated case) compare to a shrouded and also with said fan (here: push-pull) mounted Venomous-X, when cooling a high volted (~1.4v) and HT enabled i7? Any ideas?

As long as your room temps are cool or you are pushing outside cooler air it will do a great job. I expect my temps to improve since the above pics are all the same day I installed the unit. It loves forced fresh air or better yet forced AC onto the 120mm radiator.

here is forced AC at idle 17c!

Nice temps, but sadly I have no access to AC, my energy bill is already killing my budget just by running the folding rigs I have.

Is the consensus here that by tweaking the H50 with shrouds and stronger fans you could get more out of it than a tweaked Venomous-X? Did anyone ever did a comparison? I only see reviews with low volt chips or even not HT-enabled i7.

Here is another screenie. This is forced fresh air no AC.
