News - Corsair explains: how to install the Hydro Series H50 CPU cooler

[HEXUS]

Still break into a sweat at the mere thought of liquid cooling? Corsair's video demonstration should ease the mind.

Should be helpful. Now if only I could justify upgrading from my current heatsink.

Do it ! I'm very impressed...

I have one with Push & pull 1600rpm fans in my i7 rig Clocked @ 4 GHZ - 1.22v - 37oC/70oC, its lower my temps loads. Had a Lapped TRUE with push & pull set up before this Clocked @ 3.8 GHZ - 1.65v 41oC/78oC...

4MHz? That's some serious underclocking.

Overclocking is so 2009. Get ahead of the times!

its too easy to actually count as watercooling tbh, its like a two-part heatsink joined by tubes love mine

I think I need to work out a way to fit this into the shuttle and get shot of the under performing shuttle ice cooling on the CPU.

I've got three now - two in SFFs and one in a regular desktop - splendid coolers!

Don't suppose one of them was a Shuttle P2 chassis was it? Going to have a look at my SX38P2 Pro tonight to see how I would go about fitting one in.

Sorry mate no, Silverstone Sugo SG04B and Lian-Li A05NB (latter arguably isn't SFF but it's pretty dinky.)

I've also got a Thermaltake Lanbox but it was a bit too much of a struggle to fit - others with more skill may've had more luck - so that's why I got the Lian-Li.

[Grey M@a]

If I remove the front drive bays and move the HD to above where the PSU would sit and lose the DVD burner and use an external one I could mount the Res and fan to the side of the case. Would just be a nightmare every time I needed to be inside the case.

i want to put one in a SG05 as a lan comp, i think that would be ace and i know it fits

I'm really tempted by one of these when i upgrade my PC to Core i5 (or perhaps i7 on the 1156 socket) but i'm concerned about the mounting of the fan the other way so it sucks air in.

Other than that i'm pretty much sold.

Some of you guys that have it would you say it's quieter than truly fan based or just better.

It's on par in terms of noise with my setup, but it gives about 5 to 10% better thermal performance depending the case.

Got one of these in an excellent Lian Li case and as for mounting the fan for intake, just make sure that whichever case you buy have one or two extra exhaust fans and outlets on top or higher at the back and it wouldn't be a problem.

Just bitten the bullet and ordered from Scan It'll just be a pain installing as I'll have to remove the mobo and associated gubbins - of which I have far too much!

Decided to go for it 'cause now I've started folding, my temperatures are permanently in the mid-70ºs unless I have the window open, which is a little toasty for a Q6600.. plus it'll only get hotter come spring.
