 Amazing - Quiet and Cool
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. |
