    Default H50-1 and Snow...

    Ah with all the snow around lately it was just too tempting to do this, so I finally got up to it and was quite surprised with the temperatures.

    Managed 23c on my Q66 on all 4 cores which I thought was pretty decent - considering I wrapped the h50-1 in snow and used 2 120mms for wind chill.

    Check it out...

    Did you think about condensation? Could have killed your motherboard! lol

    What I'd like is a vapochill style waterchiller - that would be great, like a Vapochill LS or something. I'd buy that
    Maybe a project for LEC when I get everything sorted

    What do you think to those Corsair water coolers?

    They're ok - I've sold mine and gone for an aircooler but it was quite good - not sure IMO if its worth it though I prefer to go for just air or all out water rather than half way with the h50.

    Thought i'd test it to see the hype though. .

    I love my H50, as my upcoming build will be balls-out gaming I'll be throwing down an H-70 but lets face it, if you need LCS for 1:just your processor and 2: for cooling only, not looks then you really cannot beat them, a lot more efficient than air coolers, take up the same space AND increase airflow through the PC by not having a massive lump sat ontop of the CPU.

    I know of quite a few air coolers which can outperform the H50, H60 and H70, the Noctua NH D14 is one of them, although it's only a few degrees lower and is completely massive with 2 fans installed. I would rather go custom for anything like that, unless it wasn't my main rig.
