So why do Corsair insist we use it as an intake? In our none-too-small CoolerMaster 840 the differences in temperatures were negligable and certainly not worth the arsing about it took to reroute our airflow. The way it's been time-proven to be best. This is ripe for good airflow to your exhausts allowing the cold air to flow in forward and low, and the hot air to be expelled high and rearwards. The H50 nearly avoids this issue by barely being larger than two 120mm fans in the cooling end, and leaving untold amounts of space around your CPU. One of the key selling points of the H50 is that enormous tower coolers take up enormous space and put a huge strain on the motherboard due to their ever increasing weight. Sure it was close, but this is a short water-loop and so there isn't swathes of space for the water to cool before it hits the hot copper again.ДЇinally the main good/bad point, and about the same topic. Even when overclocked we didn't bust through the 80вЊ bracket we stop testing at. So although it appears over-priced compared to its air-cooled cousins, actually it's good value. The radiator alone contains as much metal as most tower coolers and we haven't even figured in the complex heatsink/pump arrangement. There is a huge amount of stuff here for your money. But it can't just be compared to air coolers because it's not one of those either. Sure Corsair don't want us comparing it to a Laing/Black Ice 360 type setup and rightfully so. It's not really as simple as that though.

It's priced just north of ВЈ60, which puts it up there with practically any air cooler you can think of, and yet the temperatures aren't really as low as either we'd hoped, or as low as the high-performance pure-air coolers. Corsair take great pains to point out that, because of the H50s pricing, it's not competing with a pukka water-loop, rather it's against the high-end air coolers. The main meat in any cooler is the temperatures. Of course a fan on top of the already fairly hefty price tag might be a step too far. So if you want the CFM of a Delta, or the silence of a Noctua, and everything in-between, the world is your Oyster. Thankfully like any 120mm fan you can swap it depending upon your needs. But when set to more realistic speeds it's neither loud nor quiet. When we ran it flat out it was, as is to be expected, madly loud. It's kinda middle of the pack when it comes to volume. Certainly nothing you'd notice over your case fans or indeed the fan that comes with the cooler. The pump makes hardly any noise at all which was the primary concern in such a compact unit. We've been testing this H50 for a while now as the main cooler in one of the OC3D rigs, and in the time we've had it we've not had a single issue at all with the pump or the fan. This definitely isn't a product that is a jack of all CPU sockets and master of none. The packaging is high quality and the mounting hardware fits exceptionally well together. Even reading comprehension isn't a must because of the wonderfully descriptive illustrations.Д«uild quality is also very high.

Even a half-blind ape could install this without issue. Thankfully despite this being a cooler with multiple mounting options the documentation for all of them is crystal clear. The importance of having a good contact is vital, and a secure mount even more so. CPU Coolers, by virtue of their function, are the one bit of kit more than any other than has a job far more lofty than their slender price tag would have you believe.

Peripherals by the dozen have features untapped thanks to poor manuals or, even worse, PDF ones. But nearly every motherboard on the planet has documentation more notable for what it doesn't tell you than what it does. Sure some things, graphics cards, gaming surfaces etc, don't exactly need huge manuals. Whoever did the manual and installation instructions for this needs to be signed up by every other company around. Testing the Corsair H50 was a mixture of the good and the strange.
