Corsair Hydro H50 Water Cooling System - Wish List Series

[mrhevi]

So would I rather want to spend the 60 bucks for this rather then buying a basic air cooler?

[LKxDESIGN]

will this fit well in a CM 690 II? I know theres a 120mm fan just wondering if it actually fights the rad in it

[IsShitBrown]

@LKxDESIGN Should do, just about everything fits in the 690II great!

[TechnikKev]

yeah that´s nice just bought it about 2 months ago and it does a great job! the most exciting thing was to unbox it, i love to unbox things :D

[fameistechno]

nice just bought this for my new gaming computer :D

[Hanuki]

Noob question do apply thermal paste to both heatsink and the processor or just use the one on the heatsink?

[dylbyl1234]

is it posible to hack into that thing and posible hook up another radiator to it

[rice1432]

Can you tell me what you think?

Im getting this plus:

cooler master sniper

1tb WD caviar black

MSI GTX460 1gb

8 gb ram G.Skill Ripjaws X Series

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T

should this all go well?

[RawrGurr]

@rice1432

you need a motherboard dude.

[rice1432]

@RawrGurr Wow this comment is old haha :D. i had a motherboard picked out i just forgot to write it :P.

[thugricanz]

Nice case!! I wan tthat one. >_>

[rice1432]

@thugricanz cooler master sniper :)

[TensonFlo]

You cant change the fan?

[FatalOx]

thx this vid helped me alot

[VicariousModder]

Hey I know this is old news with the Corsair H70 out but I'm shopping for a bargain. Just wondering if you had the pump hooked to the CPU fan header or a 12V fan header. Corsair recommends that the pump gets 12V all the time for best performance. I couldn't tell from the video if that was a normal fan header or not.

[Ortegala]

Is it worth it to buy it?

[xTReeTooNx]

Should I change the thermal paste or is the standard paste good?

[HardwareCanucks]

@xTReeTooNx Actually Corsair has Shin-Etsu thermal paste on there, which is already very good. So unless you are changing it for some IC7 diamond or other top quality stuff, I would recommend leaving the stock stuff on.

[keith23uk]

hmm why does CoreTemp show Wattage on this video? Doesnt show it on mine. Or probably just a feature on these newer i7 Sockets? Probably not that accurate anyhow hehe.

[keith23uk]

Tip dont get a case with a fan on top unless you want masses of dust inside your PC. Stick with a nice size fan sucking air IN from the front or two and a ncie large fan at the back blowing air OUT of the case. I find side fans dont make a heck of a lot of difference in fact can make things worse interupting your air flow. Even my CPU follows my air flow rule. IN from the front OUT through the back.

[CapitalGamer]

@TheUnchartable I have the same dilemma lol.

[danthaman7777]

so u scrape grease n apply ur own"?

[ph3rr3r0]

why would you want the fan intaking and blowing hot air off the radiator into the case?

[MrMaxymoo22]

It looks like it belongs in a fish tank lol.

[snipski0894]

Hi great video btw, quick question the screw dosent look long enough to go through the radiator and 2 fans. I want to do a push pull and I dont understand how you can fit another fan.

[flashfith]

nice video..... i ordered mine :D :D

[SutkasFan]

Does anyone know how much is the cooling power of this "monster" ?

[livai007]

does any1 knows how much the cooling capacity is ?

[Cropsgrinder]

@TheUnchartable this one :P

[MN12BIRD]

Perfect for beginners getting into water cooling. It may not be the best performing water cooler but it's way cheaper than high end water kits and it should beat most air cooling setup while being quieter than and it's easy to install! No filling/bleeding and it really is cheap!

[KapteinFruit]

I'm getting this soon I hope. I really hope I don't have to wait untill after easter. The package have arrived in Norway, but I'm not sure if they will send it to a post office in the easter time. If they do I might get it tomorrow.

[dwightmolas]

u know is realy hard doing that only with one person

[MrChefCook]

Hmm the time on the Prime95 is the same with all cases ... you trying to cheat us ?

[Disinf3ctant]

Hey what case is that? Its truly beautiful haha. Looks alot like the antec cases.

[Riggsen1]

Can i have two fans at the radiater ? First the corsair fan and then the Fan who comes with Cooler Master Scout Case ?

[getlow1985]

yes i have 2x led fans in a push/pull so yes you can

[thekyman21]

Great unboxing and installation vid!

[LucasA84]

Great video. Simple and very very informative. Thanks.

[alextheromanian]

fuck my life i dont have a cutout for the backside...

my mobo will be here tomorrow... anyone know if i should cut a whole out???

[AngryBuddhaVideos]

Excellent video/review. This product is a great stepping-stone to the world of watercooling.

[ironsteel46]

does this provide better performance than the Cooler Master Hyper N620?

[321518680]

Doesn't the rear intake fan totally screw up the airflow of the case?

[drakio99]

You don't need airflow if your cpu isn't giving off heat :D

[liightheaded]

@321518680 could turn it round? so exaust :)

[peter0250]

deja vu. I think i saw this before

[DjAndrewFlow]

i say also ;)

[Nefus2]

Do the temperature get lower if you put an additional fan on it? Only bad thing with the cooler is if you buy a case with a 140mm fan at the rear and with no holes to change for a 120mm fan.

[FIXTatHWC]

Corsair states that they do. In a push/pull configuration they show test results that claim up to a 5c drop in temps with a second fan.

As YT won't let me publish links, google search "corsair h50 push pull" and their blog post should be your first result.

[mrh112]

by the look of the vid it seems you plugged the pump into the cpu cooler socket! which throttles the pump and damages it

[FIXTatHWC]

Good eye! Yes Corsair does state that you should plug the pump into a regular fan header, and plug the rad fan into the CPU fan header as the CPU fan header generally fluctuates voltages to adjust fan speed.

However in our case I had specifically disabled the cpu fan control feature in the bios, in which case it becomes just another regular connection with a steady voltage.

But as you stated, it would be best for most users to follow the directions and go with another connection to be safe.

[timdietz88]

I got this exact same i7 with a Cooler Master V8 cooler (much cheaper than this Corsair setup) and my stock temps are about 30-35. I don't understand how you got readings of 55 with this watercooling kit.

[tsubodzuka]

Excellent and easy to understand video, thanks for the static image of the temperatures through the comparison between the stock air cooler and the H50. Keep up the work!

[ShroomSamich]

molex molex molex

[Yytinen]

Beats all air coolers, but doesn't cost too much. Perfect. Anyone who ask's me: What cooler i should buy for mild overclocking? I always answer: Corsair h50. Great review too , Merry X-Mas to all.

[shinji112]

i own one. its great but i reckon one flaw about this is that it sucks in air that has just come out of your graphics card. the exhaust air from my 4870x2 is very hot so it didnt make sense to mount the intake fan above the gfx card. so i mounted it at the top of my case

[histatimaniples]

$49 at frys untill the dec 24

[HenkeAlkoHoel]

I have it, I love it :D

[Cheburashka94]

One of the best coolers out there

recomend it to everyone

overclocked my i5 to 4.2ghz easily with this monster

[R08M]

so i should be able to get up there too?...got a msi GD-65

[Cheburashka94]

if you got a good tempature in your case - no cable mess, intake and outtake fans and a cool enviroment with no dust it should be ok. Also power supplie is important and good motherboard. I don't know much about different mother boards, but i'm sure a quick search in google will get u some info!

[lilfredd1393]

nice*

[jincuteguy]

This H50 is good fur what if it leaks? or the pump stopped working? now what are u gona do?

[chineseviking]

what happens if anything on anything breaks? your point is kind of irrelevant

[N1ght3d]

Drinkie Drinkie!

[Jorcamblaster]

SOLD!!!!!! lol

[David12King]

Still using the Sniper :D

[soma1509]

looks much less complicated than the coolit domino...which managed to break and spill liquid all over my setup.

Im skeptical about this one.

[legendray2008]

4GHz is a piece of cake with that Corsair.

[Computenator]

i'm one of these people who ofcourse knows how to build a custom watercooling system but i just don't want to have the risk of some waterblock connection starting leaking etc. So this watercooler is kinda perfect for me and i'm gonna get it soon :)

[oXoAeternooXo]

I have a Mega Shadow and am very pleased with it. The H50 performs quite well, but even better when the fan is used as intake (so the top fan makes it a push-pull config). I'm not sure how the two compare to oneanother, but I don't feel like it'll be THAT much difference.

the Mega Shadow keeps my 920 @ 4GHz at about 65*C full load.

[dabocx56]

Can you change out the fan easily?

[Cotton926]

great CPU cooler love it.

[florindjro]

low end H2O cooling.

Prolimatech Megahalems on AIR, it's better.

[akelaristera]

I got this one about a moth ago and am waiting for P6X58D deluxe to be available and to test it on i7 960... unboxing on my channel also

[Mupp1t]

@akelaristera that motherboard is out here already

[johnhuber1]

That one has a really bad heat exchanger.

[pcgamingman]

I want it, will probably get it after xmas!!!

[wushuk1ng]

is this a reupload?

[HardwareCanucks]

@wushuk1ng

Yes it is, sorry for the confusion. We ran into some errors with the video and opted to make some minor changes and re-upload the whole thing. If you were one of the lucky 303 people to view it the first time then this is just old news :)

We apologize for having to do this and for the loss of your comments - Do feel free to re-post your thoughts or feedback though!
