  • That Bsod states that you need more vcore voltage

  • 2:40 He is not playing with friends. He is playing alone. /insert forever alone.

  • Is it just me or is the fan on that "high performance air cooler" on the wrong side? But then again, they started both comps at the exact same time so it must be a fair test

  • I love corsair products, but i just don't think the h50 is worth it, i would refure to get a NH-D14 or something like that

  • @ukjamie96

    i saw a couple of reviews where the NH-D14 performed exactly like the corsair H100!!

    the "high performance" cpu cooler they used in this video is not even worth to battle with my freezer 13... XD

  • I would get the water cooled option, but there are too many reviews for my liking were theres has burst and broke there PC but if this doesn't happen it is a beast!

    Gamble! For me no!

  • Comment removed

  • Are these monitors the asus vg236he?

  • you definitely installed the air cooler wrong, the rear case fan is pulling the air out and infront of it air coolers fan is pulling air in that's wrong wrong wrong.

    the air cooler's fan should be on the other side of the cooler.

  • 2 questions 1) My mobo has all 4 pin fan headers. Does this have 4 pin sockets?

    2) I'm using an LED 120 mm fan at the back now - am I OK to fit this fan to the radiator "inside"?

    

  • I can play every game without a problem with my i7 2600k 3,8GHz and a STOCK COOLER, but im still getting the H50 xD, Going to overclock to 4 GHz.

  • I'm happy with my H50. It's cooling the 2500K 4GHz@1,184V very good. Idle about 29 degrees an Load max. 59-60 degrees, depends on the room temp. .

  • i a noob at belding pc but how dose the water stay cool

  • @RUSSIAN26KILLER Water travels away from the CPU to a radiator(cant see it in the video)where it dissipates its heat and returns to the CPU.

  • @RUSSIAN26KILLER That isn't necessarily a PC question, it can also be applied to a car, the water is pumped through the small radiator fins which are cooled by the fan.

  • @PhotoShopChannel thanks! :)

  • Good video!! Well done

  • This cooler is a POS, I'm running an i7 950 at stock and getting 48 degrees IDLE!!!! And yes I've tried reapplying the thermal paste and reseating the pump.

  • @scorpian007 I'm getting 29 degrees with this cooler on a i5 2500k.

  • @MASKOAA I cleaned it all out and re applied the paste and am getting 37-40 degrees idle, and 70 degrees load. The last gen i7's do run a lot hotter than the current range.

  • @scorpian007 True, I'm still surprised on your load temps though...is that for gaming b/c most new games are GPU intensive not CPU.

  • @MASKOAA this is running prime95 for 20 mins. Doesn't run as hot in GPU intensive games.

  • you have to admit that watercooled is better then aircooled...

  • Jeez, that noctua is actually more expensive. I'd get the corsair anytime then, less bulky and does the job.

  • put it against the Noctua NH-D14 and see the difference, when you talk about highend aircooler then put it against the noctua. This test is really biased.

  • theres a gap between cpu cooler and fan so not all air is being pulled from cooler.

    biased.

    and the cpu cooler didnt look very 'high end'

  • This seems a little biased

  • wait a second, ain't that a memory related BSOD code? could also be a Vcore BSOD code. not every CPU is the same ;/ so it's not a fair test.. shame on you Corsair.. Shame......

  • Liquid for the win, if your going to use air for overclocking or general high performance cpus then your an idiot. Thermal conductive water is always going to win over metal because of it's chemical composition.

  • l4d crash :(

  • Prolimatech Mega Shadow, 2x 120mm be quiet! Fans, i7 960... all that in my raven2 case. Idle33°-37° and after 6 hours paying Crysis on very high settings and 16xQ Anti Aliasing 48°-52°.

    No gamer needs H50 and the test is just bullsh.....

    who runs the system or the cpu on 100% for 24 hours ? why is the fan in the pull config ? I think because they had no space between the cpu cooler and those dominator RAMs.

    Stupid testsystem config and worthless test ! ! ! !

  • @shalvam You srsly don't know what you're talking about, do you? There's something called F@H that many people run their rig 24/7. Crysis is not even cpu reliant... Play BFBC2 if you have it and you'll see your temp shoot up.

  • @tringuyen552911 I do know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about this stupid and worthless test! In this test you can see a realy worthless air cooled system.

    The fan config of the air cooler is in the pull config ! It should be in the PUSH ! The Chassis is not the best for air cooling and there is not much airflow in the case, it makes no sence if you run such system to the limits.

    A High-end air cooled system needs a lot of air and a realy good Case with more than just two 120mm fans !

  • @shalvam h50 was not aimed for pc enthusiast community but rather for low-noise htpc type consumers.

  • fake

  • why does this video have so many likes lol

  • @ZixacunX why not

  • lol really ironic for them to be using LIAN LI cases....

  • My cooling system runs better than this :P

  • So...if I don't get a water cooler I'll be torn to ribbons by a pack of hungry zombies? Consider me sold. :P

  • @BobbyZgangialf Yes, as long as you're using an AM3 socket motherboard.!

  • can i mount the corsair on a amd 1090t?

  • Do the same test but this time against the Noctua NH-D14.

  • nice do you a test for H70 vs H50?

  • This test proves nothing. Plus who in the fuck plays L4D on an extreme core CPU. That shit is meant to do some high calculations programs. My Pentium 4 @ 3.0GHZ plays that shit smooth as butter.

  • This video is a terrible comparison i use Corshair for most things but this is just sad. Your air cooler was a piece of shit and probably not seated correctly. I have a Coolermaster v8 on my AMD 1090T and i get better temps then with your H50.

  • Thats kinda stupid how you have got the fan on the air cooled system just pulling air off the heatsink. You should have it running in a push/pull config, or atleast set the fan up so it blows air over the heatsink.

  • @ndogg360

    What the booklet told my friend was that he was supposed to mount the fan backwords (he's pulling air from the exhaust of his case) and into the case inside. Then where does the air go? It doesn't really matter if you have top exhaust fans, then what about the front intakes? Useless and zero force going around

    Got my own H50 and went "who needs instruction booklets lol"

  • What are the fan speeds on the two systems? I am running a Phenom ii X6 1055t Overclocked to 3.5ghz with a Corsair A70 cooler in an Antec 902, MSI 890FXA-GD70 and HIS Radion 5750 and my max temps with prime95 are 45* (according to MSi control center) and my Cpu fan is 1X stock corsair @2000rpm and 1X Coolermaster Scythe at 1800Rpm with the Antec's fans on low settings.

  • Why did you have the air cooler intaking from the back of the case lol?

  • what about the h70 vs intel stock cooler?

  • High-performance air cooler my arse. Let's see the test done using a Noctua NH-D14 for the air cooler...

  • @maz12004 Then lets do a noise test on NH-D14 and H50.

  • @maz12004 I agree that the aircooler wasn´t high performance but the H50 isn´t really that high performance either. The radiator is really thin and without corsairs own fan (wich sounds like a hairdryer) or another 1700rpm fan the cpu get really hot.

  • A bsod doesn't always mean that the cooler is bad, it could have been the ram or the mobo that was causing the instability.. Even tho both rigs had the same parts, they are not identical and require different OC settings.

  • @maz12004 Yeah a big behemoth that takes up 3/4 of your case (if it even fits in your case) which most won't!

  • @sh4rkbyt3 thats the reality with improved technology, you have to adapt.

  • My only beef is that the Corsair stock fans are too noisy and don't give the best performance. First thing I do is remove those fans and install CoolerMaster sickle blade fans which run faster, quieter and cooler!

  • hahah corsair using lian li cases, that shows even corsair likes its competitor cases compared to their own designs

  • i left my cpu with prime 95 on for 7 hours with the corsair H50 highest temp was 80c oc to 3.2

  • is the hydro worth getting for the gigavbyte ga-890FXA-UD5 with 6core be 1090T 3.2 ? i have been looking into to invest a new cooler

  • yesss i got thi deal on amazon for the last h50 and got it for 20$

  • B.S. that's a Megahalems in the other PC, you have to purposely fuck up to get those temperatures even at 3.98 GHz. Corsair, I love your power supplies, but your coolers are pitiful, and so are the guys installing them.

  • Comment removed

  • Pathetic vid, H50 is worse h2o cooler on the market, Thermalright eat them on dinner...!!!!

    Hahaha, so lame Corsair...!!!

  • @SpiderUTP eeerrr...

  • You forgot to add the fan to the fan cooled system :P; all I saw was the fins, you can add I think a 120; or a 140mm fan to the fins.

    But mind you, thats just my thoughts.

  • @unknownsilant

    I thinks it's the 120mm Fan that you can add, It might of been at the back.

  • Noctua NH D14 performs just as well, if not better than the H50....

  • didn't anyone notice? the fan config of the air cooler? its in the pull config! shouldn't it be in the PUSH? hmmmmnnn...... somethings not right!

  • @wanted21x

    temps are the same probablly the fan on the backside pulls air in also, so it means better temps for the cpu : )

  • @wanted21x I think it's because the RAM coolers are in the way maybe?

  • @wanted21x I totally caught that too. Push does a lot better but they probably put it that way to that the H50 would win and also because the memory fan wouldn't fit with the cpu fan in push config. I know this because I have the same problem.

  • @wanted21x I have that exact same cooler and messed up the installation puting it on wrong also :)

    Deffinately ment to PUSH air through the heatsink to the back of the case's exits holes

  • @wanted21x

    Not only this, but if anyone can see the BSOD it says error 3B, which means vcore is too low. So it wasnt even heat related, they just suck at overclocking. Windows doesnt even HAVE an error code for heat.

  • @Smoblikatt That would make sense if both of them crashed, being overclocked at exactly the same settings. But they didn't both crash, only the air cooled one.

  • @wanted21x

    They did that on purpose... otherwise, H50 wouldn't be so "cool" ;-)

  • Nice test.. what's the song name?

  • haha, GREAT review!! (Y)

  • for an h50, load temps in the 70s still seems pretty high...

  • @Kl1054Extras For an overclocked i7, it's pretty much normal.

  • You should run this test with a Megahalems and use the same fan you use on the H50 for the Megahalems and run again.

  • LOL at the ending when the BSOD appears

  • Haha this shit is fucking EPIC! I love the ending and the review. Good job, thumbs up & subscribing! =)

  • unfair comparison, the cpu cooler should have a fan on it, which it doesnt have.

  • @thehostler there is a fan , it's the kind that flow front to back of the case...

  • My specs:

    i7-920 @ 4,2 GHz

    Case: CM 690 II Advanced Edition

    CPU-cooler: Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B = € 40,-

    3 extra fans = € 24,-

    So a little bit more money spend on the cooling, but I got even a lower temperature with a higher clockspeed..

  • i wanna buy this CORSAIR H50! just need to save some money! ahahah

  • @jaspergabriel16 you realiuse the h70 is out right?

  • @UnrealGlider yeah, y?

  • @jaspergabriel16 So why would you want a H50?

  • @UnrealGlider probably because the H50 makes less noise (the radiator of the H70 is thicker) and the H50 is much cheaper. They perform about equally well, the H70 doesn't make any difference. I am about to buy a new system and I'm going for the H50 too, for the above reasons.

  • @Bergen79 All the tests show like a 5-10% drop in temps using the H70, well worth an extra £20. I got mine through today and it is pretty impressive, looking forward to getting it installed when my Stacker 833 comes through.

  • @UnrealGlider I guess that depends on the situation. Why would it be "well worth an extra £20"? Personally I couldn't care less if my temps are at 55 instead of 50 degrees. What difference does that make? But maybe it does matter if you're overclocking and if your cpu is living on the edge.

  • @Bergen79 Why buy the H50 if you're not overclocking, would be just fine with a £20 cooler or even a stock cooler if your gonna be running stock clocks... :)

  • @UnrealGlider For a couple of reasons: First of all because it's pretty quiet. I could buy a quiet air cooler, but they are generally so big that if your memory has high cooling ribs (like the XMS3 DHX series) then it almost doesn't fit under the cooler on some boards, like on the ASUS P7P55D-E I plan to buy. Also because it looks cool and also because my case doesn't get so crowded, which is again better for the airflow. I've never played with watercooling and this is a nice first step. :-)

  • @Bergen79 Well I just got my H70 today, and it beats my old h50 hands down.. I also used the Coolermaster V10 for a few months and well... Thats just a rubbish cooler. I have never really dabbled in real watercooling either, these coolers are great, but you really should consider the H70, its insane.

  • @UnrealGlider Sweet. :-) Is the cooler quiet enough or would you put a different cooler on it?

  • @Bergen79 I never installed it with stock fans, using the ones from my antec 1200 on medium speed and they are so sweet, my i7 920 at 4ghz ran at 100% for 2 hours reached 77, but was usually around 74, not bad for a £70 cooler! I had to take it back down though because the x58 chip was just getting too hot, the heatsink hot enough to hurt me if I held my finger on it. If you plan on overclocking you'll need to get some decent cooler for the chips and NB on your mobo with this :)

  • @Bergen79 And the pump is silent :)

  • @UnrealGlider because its cheaper than the H50 and besides, i dont overclock. i just want to have a water cooler . i'm on a tight budget

  • @jaspergabriel16 So your buying it for the sake of it? ^^

  • @UnrealGlider yup. ^-^

  • @jaspergabriel16 Why waste money you don't have? And wow, your buying a core 2 quad and a 5870... just lol...

    You need to learn a thing or 2 before this shit before you end up either blowing stuff up or hurting yourself.

  • @UnrealGlider so?do you even care?

  • @jaspergabriel16 No, people like you just irritate me.

  • @UnrealGlider why?

  • @jaspergabriel16 You argue with me, (I know ever such a lot more then you about the subject) trying to prove a point which completely contradicts the reason you would buy this product. You complain you're on a tight budget, then blow £60 on a cooler for the looks, when the stock cooler would suit you fine, seeing as you have no intention of pushing it at all. Stick to buying a ready built system.

  • @UnrealGlider don't you get it, I ALREADY OWN A CORE 2 QUAD. Do you read sentences properly?

    and people have different experiences with a cooler. i saw some reviews in the internet suggesting that the h50 is a good cooler, i also saw some reviews that tells that the h50 is a bad cooler. so it doesn't mean its completely not worth it.

    one more thing, don't insult people who doesn't own the latest stuffs.

  • @UnrealGlider and by the way how people commented on your channel, it really shows you have a lot of enemy in the internet.

  • @UnrealGlider ok. whatever. i'll wait for it.

  • @jaspergabriel16 Ok sadact, its uploading right now.

  • @UnrealGlider hahhhah.

  • @jaspergabriel16 Whats hahahaha? Mr Cheapass Windows 7 Starter?

  • My vid is up on my channel, really quick vid I made but you see pretty much everything there...

    Burn.

  • @UnrealGlider and if your really a computer freak, Y DONT YOU UPLOAD SOME VIDEOS? IF YOU REALLY HAVE A HIGH PERFORMANCED COMPUTER, Y DONT YOU SHOW IT TO OTHER PEOPLE?

  • @jaspergabriel16 Fine, I will...

  • @jaspergabriel16 Infact, I'll test out my new iphone 4 and use that to record it

  • @UnrealGlider my my, where are the videos? hahahah.

  • @jaspergabriel16 youtube was taking forever to upload;

  • i can get better temps using a 15 dollar cooler master cooler than you guys are geting there and yes the cooler master V8 is horrible.

  • i can get better temps using a 15 dollar cooler master cooler than you guys are geting there

  • <---- Corsair fanboy (using Corsair hx650W PSU, Corsair Dominator 1600 Ram and Corsair H50)

    ps: obsidian case is to expensive^^

  • @Weini123 can the HX650 handle a core 2 quad and a xfx 5870?

  • @jaspergabriel16 im currently running a 1055T (3,5GHz) and 2 GTX 460 (850mhz core clock) in sli. the whole system draws about 500W under 100% load so there is still headroom for more hardware. so yes the hx650 can easily run this setup of yours.

  • @Weini123 how about if i have a 500watts psu. it could still handle my system?

  • @jaspergabriel16 for this kind of setup i would go with a 650w psu. if the corsair hx650 is to expensive check out the 650W psu from XFX. it has a great value, modular interface, good efficiancy and nice cables.

  • I just dont get it why do you need to overclock just to play l4d

  • LoL fark i laughed real hard at the zombie molestation!!!

  • This makes me rethink my Cooler Master V8...

  • @DarkGeek24

    Another video here shows that the H50 is up to 14C cooler than the Coolermaster V8, which beat the Intel Extreme cooler by only 2C!

  • What kind of case is that?

  • Not a meaningful test at all. The test should have been performed *on the same machine with the same settings* (albeit at different times of course). One of the most repeated phrase in the OC community is "No Two CPUs Are The Same!" The air-cooled CPU might've just been a weaker CPU...or with a bad setting. OC is a tricky business, after all.

  • @luminus69

    I JUST bought a Corsair H50 and I agree with you. Also, the L4D example isn't the greatest as heavy gaming wouldn't stress the CPU like a synethetic CPU tester such as Prime95 / Intel Burn In / OCCT / LinX / Linpack / etc. Also, though I agree that different CPU's do have different overclocking tolerances, the i7 Extreme series is unlocked and has greater tolerances for overclocking, but is still subject to the individuality of CPU heat and overclocking tolerances like you say.

  • this is nothing, my Intel Pentium e5400 2,7Ghz (air cooled) O/C to 3,52Ghz up time unlimited... CPU test should takes 7days.

  • 71c shouldn't bee a problem..?

  • Well, i'm a bit unshure about the reason for the crash. My cpu can come up to about 92°C and i have NEVER had a blue-screen crash.

  • H70 anyone ?

  • The Air-Cooler looks kinda weak?

  • @kevbodian What? They're the same damn case. Are you blind? Not that I agree with the results, or the cause of the BSoD.. but it's the same rig, with the exception of the CPU heatsink.

    What's funny is that Corsair used a Lian Li case instead of their own high end case.

  • It wouldnt blue screen because of 71° CPU Temp.

    I had mine on 90° C and it was still running...

  • @crimson177 the tape was there to cover the the brand name of the cooler ..thats why it says " Brand X"..

  • why the fuck is there tape on the cpu air cooler. 0:39

  • @crimson177 They covered the other manufactures logo.

  • seriously? I am all for comparisons like this. Especially since it is a real world comparison, but this is shady and simply not something I would have expected from Corsair...

    WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE INCORRECTLY MOUNTED AIR COOLER? The CPU fan is facing the wrong way, pushing air across the fins over the memory, while the rear case fan is pulling air in the opposite direction.

    Installing it the right way would solve ALL thermal problems and INCREASE the performance of the air cooler.

  • @Vgharaei this guy got it.

  • @Vgharaei

    Yes I noticed that too...but maybe they mount the fan inverse way onto the heatsink.

    They have to do this bacause of the huge RAM cooler. But You're right if the CPU cooler works against the rear case fan.

    My bro installed his Hyper TX2 to the wrong direction at first....that caused +10C temperature at full load (60C with wrong and 50C with correct mounting)

  • Love the H50 but why test the air cooler in a smaller enclosure with probably less airflow? The smaller machine will be hotter no matter what.

  • you know this was rigged

  • this cooler the best money can buy unless you wanna spend $400+

  • It's not just the temps, it's the noise. But yeah, biased. Air cooling is pretty amazing those days, and matches the H50 (or vice versa).

  • if you put a second 120 fan you can run 4ghz on a 920 the second fan is a must because it will drop a around 8c but still nothing compared to a real water loop

  • @chino555 A second fan on the air cooled system or the H50? 0.0

  • lol at blue screening on L4D.

  • so what happens if u run out of fluid? where do u refill it?

  • @Killer101Noob

    it says almost 0 evaporation

  • Hey does anyone think I could paint the pipes and anything else on it Green UV Reactive Paint? Because you can't really replace the fluid that easily. or could I just put some sorta UV Reactive coil thing around the pipes?

    Thanks,

  • clean those freakin monitors off!

  • Why did they not use linpack?

  • sweet video :)

  • Extremely biased video, who knows maybe the air cooler was loose on purpose. To say that the H50 is better than a top-end air cooler is like saying that my stang can beat a 911 twin-turbo in the 1/4th mile. I personally have a 212+ with a push pull setup and my 920 does 4.2Ghz on AIR w/o BSODS.. Temps dont even hit 60c @ 1.27v w/ same ambient as this test 24c. Shame on Corsair for posting misleading info..

  • shit, i don't want to killed by zombies, i should better get a h50!

  • I would like to see a comparison between the H50 and a Noctua NH-D14 air cooler.

  • lol at the Wilhem scream

  • wow people should relize that the only reason h50 doesn't work as well with other water cooling is the amoung of liquid being pumped through and radiator size so i desided to buy 6300 rpm fans, 2 of them for a combined 500 cfm. NICE

  • Lmao that's slick... one of the best advertisements I've seen in a while.

  • Remember this is a video FROM CORSAIR guys... 

  • the aircooler was not on good side to blw air .. thats why

  • Lol what a fake test...

    They should have mounted the fan on the aircooling setup so it pushes the air through the cooler and not so it pulls the air from out of the cooler :D

    I have a NH-D 14 on my i7 and it beats the H50 in temps and noisewise, too.

  • @stanley2038 proof? and i wanna see oc on cpuz to!

  • @Andreeystyle I will make a response vid soon, ok :D

    just to prove the superiority of highend aircooling over entry level watercooling ;)
