Corsair Hydro H50 Unveiled
Our friends at HEXUS.net today posted pictures of Corsair's latest watercooling solution for computer processors. The Corsair Hydro H50 is essentially an Asetek LCLC OEM unit rebranded and sold under the Corsair trademark, but with one change - redesigned copper cold plate. The system itegrates the pump in the waterblock and adds a 120 mm radiator to the loop to cool the circulating water. Corsair will ship the system completely assembled, and ready to use for 50,000 hours without maintenance. Thanks to the redesigned base of the waterblock, Hydro H50 is compatible with Intel LGA775 and LGA1366 sockets. Owners of Socket AM2 and AM3 machines can ask for a free mounting bracket directly from Corsair. The cooler is expected to arrive later this month and cost around $82.

It's cheap!!:D
i might get this
If this offers a large benefit over a cooler like the tt120 then I might be getting it. I mean, I've got the silent high flow fan taken care of, and I definitely see myself upgrading to LGA1366 someday, so why not?

And then factor in that this kit is non expandable by design so you'll never be able to swap things out for better parts.
The Swiftech all in one kit is MUCH better in terms of quality, expandability, and design.

They meant to buy DDC's for their older external water cooling kits but someone screwed something up along the line and they recieved an entire shipment of D4's instead. When this individual realized the screwup the pumps were relegated to a corner of a warehouse and forgotten.
A few months ago Corsair contacted Petras and sold the (useless for them) pumps to him at a nice price.
That's where those pumps came from, and no Corsair did not make them, they just had their name printed on the label.
Continuing, saying they know what they're doing is also pretty silly IMHO, their first venture into water cooling used a primitive copper water block and an aluminum radiator which is never a smart idea.
Feel free to go buy it, but don't come crying to me about it's performance when you discover it's a letdown.
If Corsair release the dual rad version with their improved block and its priced right, ill be all over this! :D
Also, can someone help me find something like this? I noticed this Masscool all in one water cooler - www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835150097. Does anyone have any suggestions for quick and easy liquid cooling like this? Anyone own this masscool thing?
