Corsair Hydro Series H50 Cooling Club

[3volvedcombat]

It seems with this CPU Cooler, it likes alot of dam air, so the more push/and pull power action going on the more it tends to rape all the other coolers. Switching my fans from outtake, to intake as the instructions wanted gave me 2-5c drop in temps yay

I want to be in the club, no pics at the moment but just imagine a corsair H50 in a supreme Antec 902 with cable management. The temps at load now are 57-58c at 1.412 volts 1 hour into orthos. 3.6Ghz stable e5200

Not familiar with your CPU but the temps look good. How does it compare to your last cooler? What did you switch from?

 

[SonDa5]

With the chipset cooling upgrades and a HD5850 and HD4770.

What I wonder is, how would this be for a GPU cooler, full cover blocks are expensive, and MCW60's are about half of this cost.

I bet it would be a lot cooler than stock cooling, but the card would def need support and good bye 4 slots...below.

Prolimatech push pull config (Antec Tricool fans at 100%), Idle 40C, Prime 95 65C

I was wondering about the potential of H50 for the longest time due to the mixed reviews. So I bought it and tried it out. All were done with identical hardware inside a Lian Li X500. You see the result and now you have your answer.

Why would you Xfire a 5850 with a 4770?!

PS - I gotta get me one of'em DX11 things next week.

Why not!!!

If it worked.

However MSI Afterburner sees them both as well as CCC but there is no enable Xfire option. Bummer.

I could probably use this set up for folding. No Xfire support for rendering though.

I'm gonna ship my 4870 back, I used GPUTool and OCCT GPU and I saw white pixels at like 775/930. I wonder if the 5770 can OC better...? (I'm expecting an answer SonDa!)

From everything that I have seen the HD4850 and HD4870 were not as easy to over clock.
The main reason is that the HD5770 uses a controller chip known as L6788A. This chip can be programmed with software. This allows HD5770 voltage adjustments to be easily attained. Easy if the program exist to set the voltages. They do exist too. MSI Afterburner 1.3.0 is one of them. Asus will use Smart Dr. program to control their HD5770 voltage. This is really nice. With HD4850 and HD4870 it was always resorting to hard volt mods to pump up the juice.

Omg you got a HD5850 lucky you, i moved on from a xigamatek dark knight laped. The temps with this h50 has def decreased sense i am moving back to winter. I get about 51c max load temps now cause my house is like 70f not 80'sf i dont know but im getting and still getting lower and colder temps with this H50. So im pretty proud getting a performance upgrade from my s1283 cpu cooler that was in 58-60s on loads at 1.4 volts, i have my e5200 at 3.65 Ghz stable all threw the night at 1.4 volts and it just makes my system look badass. Im ganna grab my friends nice camera and take picture in some high reses of my computer. I just bought a corsiar tx750 watt psu and omg is it matching the corsiar feeling in my antec 902. I will post pics of my rig in like 3 hours at the most cause my freinds hoging my comp for his daily cod5 fix .

Nice volved! The H50 is such an underrated cooler... I believe it's up there with the TRUE.

It would be sweet if TR had a H50 type cooler. I'd be all over it. (if it performed better)

For now the H50 is working great.

The Corsair H50 does work well. I have my H50 radiator mounted outside of case with a huge scythe fan pushing and the small Corsair fan pulling.

Guess you don't want to be a member.

Here is my H50 in my antec 902, the Antec tri cool is behind the cooler. It was used for my 4.6Ghz overclock on my e5200

Hey all. I recieved my H 50 last week and i will be putting it in over the next few days. I was thinking about mounting this outside of my case with something like the swifttec radbox. anyone do this yet?

Nope but i would love to see the results. If you could try getting a empty fan bracket also, and putting it between your fan-fans and record your results. By doing this you will or should have even better temps because the "dead spot" were the fan motor is that block's airflow in that area of the radiator. will have space and air will move that part of the radiator threw that dead spot. So essentially you should get 1-5c drop in temps by having empty fan brackets between the fan and the rad itself. Good luck .

You'd have to mod your case to mount the rad on the outside, that or don't use a side panel.

Edit: I'm no longer part of the H50 club... =[ I going with a cheaper cooling solution for my AM3 platform!

Im ganna stay in it sense im cooling a 4 Ghz quad. Lol.

Funny you mention that! I was just looking at this:
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9205/cpa-282/Tecnofront_AirBox_120_-_Acrylic_.html?tl=g30c95s162

Im really itching to get this installed because my 92 MM Noctua cooler cant handle the needed bump in voltage to get the phenom II 955 stable over 3.51 GHZ. I think ill install it the "Corsair" way this week while i wait on parts and more $. Ill post temps on both mounting locations at my current clocks.

Moding the case is no prob, I can cut holes just below my rear 120 to route the tubes out the back. Im not at home ATM or id take a pic to show u.

 

[Who is the Drizzle?]

Rock out

Installed the H50 with 2 fans (push pull) exhausting out the back. I wanted to keep my air flow correct, as i already have 3 front 120s and 2 rear plus pci slot exhaust fans. I must say; This thing frikin ROCKS!

Noctua 92 MM HSF
idle: 42 C
Load: 63 C

Corsair H50 (push pull)
idle: 31 C
Load: 44 C

Just bought one. It should be here by end of week. I had to fork out an extra $20 for the AMD bracket though.

The main reason I am buying one is because of my small case. PC-V350. I just bought a HD4850 and I can't put the side back on the case because of heat build up. I have a Noctua NH-C12P and it is awesome when the GFX card isn't there.

I also have a new SSD coming so I figured I would have to pull everything apart and do a fresh install so I bought a new 785g board and some DDR3 to go in there as well. Should be pretty quick with my 945 and HD4850..

I will let you know the temps in a few weeks when I get it all up.

 

[codyjansen]

i just bought an h50 today and it would not fit in my case (raidmax tornado) so i ordered a cooler master storm scout and it will be here in a few days. i will post pics/temps when i get the configuration figured out.
