The Corsair Cooling™ Hydro Series H50 CPU Cooler gives you the power of liquid cooling in a compact, easy-to-install package. You get superior cooling for higher overclocking performance without the complexity of traditional liquid-cooling systems.

Air-based CPU coolers simply aren’t as efficient as water coolers, and can take up too much valuable space. The compact, closed-loop Hydro Series H50 takes your CPU’s temperature to new lows and takes up less room doing it.

Includes mounting brackets for AMD AM2 , AM2+ , AM3 and Intel LGA775, LGA1366 and LGA1156 socket motherboards.

• Pre-filled, closed-loop system is easy to install
• Copper CPU cooling plate for maximum cooling performance
• Integrated pump and reservoir is sealed for zero maintenance and improved leakage protection
• Large 120mm radiator for fast heat dispersion
• High-efficiency, low-noise 120mm fan for drawing cool air across the radiator
• Two-year warranty

Performance

• Tests performed in the Corsair Lab show significant improvements over traditional air-based CPU coolers. Using a test system built using a popular gaming case and an Intel Core i7-965 processor overclocked to 3.46GHz with a vcore of 1.3V, the following results were obtained:

Model:	CWCH50
Cold Plate Material:	Copper
Fan Specs:	120mm, 1700 RPM
Radiator Material:	Aluminum
Tubing:	Low-permeability for near-zero evaporation
Warranty:	24 Months

Running this in an Antec 300 with push/pull setup, airflow in and exhausting right into the the 300''s 140mm airflow. Made an insignificant difference at idle versus CoolerMaster Gemini II (39 now vs 42 before), however that setup was in the Antec Skeleton rather than a fully closed in case. At load, this thing shines. Where I would top out on my q6600 at nearly 70C, this thing has to really work to get into the 60s now. Max I''ve seen under SETI x4 is 62C. Best $$ I''ve invested for sure.

Wells I''ve had a thermaltake LCS for like two years and bought one today. Everything is running cooler and better. Would rebuy.

I recently purchased and installed the H50 and find it to be outstanding. The install required the removal of my MB to mount a bracket on the back-side and a bracket on the front-side of the motherboard. The 120mm fan and radiator install rather easily and the CPU attachment installs very easily. Total install time was around 1 hour - I take my time and ensure I don''t mess anything up. The install guide recommended that the airflow be directed IN not out. I read another review of this unit and the reviewer tried it both ways and found the temp difference about 2-5C warmer when airflow is directed OUT. My case has a 80mm side port fan that directs air in adjacent/next to the radiator, so I chose to direct air OUT, not in as directed. My choice is based on my desire to not have warm air blowing against my leg or out the front of the case. My specs: i7 920 OC''d to 3.2GHz eVga X58 SLI LE Idle temps: 20-25C Load temps: 45-51C (Using Prime 95 blend) My stock Intel HSF: Idle temps: 45-50C Load temps: 65-75C The unit is totally quiet and I''m amazed at how well it cools. Very satisfied and it is totally worth the money.

I had tried ALL the best air coolers around, i tried the thrermalright True, AXP 140, the noctua NH-U12B and the NH-C12P and while some were better than others, they were ALL beaten by the H50. In most cases by 10C or more under heavy load. Simple, quite, and very effective. I have a 920 @ 4.2 and it idles at 35-38 and loads under prime at 63-68. I have a push pull set up, and im using the noctua fan i got from there coolers. Great product, Highly recomended!

I use to have the Coolit Domino A.L.C CPU Water Cooler. I made comparison and the Corsair Hydro Series H50 High Performance CPU Cooler run much cooler. On Idle the temperature is 36 degrees Celsius, on 100% load the max temperature is 82 degrees celsius. My CPU is Intel i7 965 Extreme Edition OC @ 3895 Mhz. Here the comparison: Coolit Domino ALC idle: 40 C Average Load: 46 C Max temperature: 98 C. Corsair H50: idle: 36 C Average idle: 38-40 C Max Temperature: 82 C During the test, the CPU was OC at 3895 Mhz.
