CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler

Comment:
Great product and very simple to install. Been up and running about 3 weeks and keeps my CPU very cool even under high loads. Take your time with installation, also you need an extra 120mm fan if you want a Push-Pull Configuration with this out of the box. I highly recommend.

Excellent product. My first tentative steps into water cooling. Quiet, chilly, not too bad to install. I'm not over-clocking a whole lot (i5 750 at 3Ghz) and it keeps me under 30-50C with no problem. I'm using a double fan push-pull configuration on the radiator. I've not had this computer setup long enough to really push it but I'm very very pleased so far. I would recommend this to anyone, no reservations.

although 80$ is the price of new cpu the cooling is phenominal. average temperature went from 42-47 to 36-39. The planning that is required is to have a place to put the radiator and fan. It does not have a very long or very short reach on the tubing. I have a huge heatsink on my video card that takes up much of where the CPU heatsink would be so the smaller cpu attachment was just what I wanted. I bought a new case as well with this heatsink as my old one lacked any 120mm fan spots. The performance is as good as you will find, playing games with the unreal engine and pretty extreme load doesn't phase the machine heat wise. The noise is much more tolerable than the stock cpu cooler as its just moving air instead of a high pitched fan scream. As a replacement for noisy socket 775 machines I think its great

Great product, reduced the tempterature of my LGA 1156 core i7 by 15-20 degrees Celcius. Make sure you set the pump to FULL blast to whatever pin you connect it to, in my case I connected it to a fan controller pin (nzxt sentry 2) and it works flawlessly. Cya

Quality product as far as i know. Havent had it in service long enough to say much about it,except that it keeps a Q6600 cool at stock settings. Read instalation instructions carefully,there are two sets of hold down screws,be sure to use the right ones. Runs quieter than a high end cooling fan heat sink. Cons. Not many except tubing kinda stiff, and not sure how much bending or twisting it will take.

I have this cooler on my i7-920 2.66 ghz overclocked to 4.0 ghz and it still idles at 25C and 56C under 100% load. Torture tests on prime95 with max cpu load yields a max core temperature of about 72C. This is a great cooling solution for anyone who does not want to get into elaborate water cooling systems. Hands down, the H50 is superior to any air cooler on the market and it doesn't cost much more. Spend the extra $20 or $30 and get this cooler. You won't regret it.

Easy to install, just followed the video on the Corsair web page (although there was no rubber gasket for the fan per the video). Very quiet operation, no problems so far!!!

This was my 1st experience with a water cooler - it was easy to install and keeps the CPU nice & cold.

This was my first step into the liquid cooling stage and i have to say compared to air this thing is a BEAST!!! Using this cooler on my new Core ii3 overclocked to 4.4Ghz idle temp. is about 28c-33c and on load depending on the application it's about 35c-45c This thing is just UNBELIEVABLE all i can really say is OMG WoOoW!!! WoOoW!!! WoOoW!!! : ) My highest overclock with this cooler was 4.7Ghz idle tamp. of 36c and a load temp. of 45c-50c : )

Always used fans. My first water-based cooling product. This was fun to hook up and easy to get it to run. I started to use the single fan pull, which my AMD Black 955 x4 ran at around 41C. I had another fan laying around which I set up to run the push-pull as described on Corsair's web site and it dropped down the temp. to around 35C.

I have MSI NF750-G55, with a AMD Phenom II X2 550 cpu. the temp with OC idle is 19 c and at max it only got up to 35 c. I put another 120mm fan on it so i could make it blow to the rear. I wanted to know how cool I could make the cpu, also have slim 80 fan on the backside of cpu.I overclocked the cpu from 3.2 ghz to 3.71 ghz. I ran cpustabtest and burn in. passed with flying colors.

Only just got this, but wow. Quality product from a quality Co. My PD935(aka. THE SUN) always ran at 60c idle and well over 70c at full load no matter what cooler I used. Now I'm sittin good at 38c idle and never over 50c full load. Only time will tell, but for now I am so pleased and would def. recommend to anyone.

This thing is great am Overclock at 3.8Ghz Phenom II 955 On a M4A77D MOB and idle temp is at 35 load 46 top i have try push pull but did not work in my case well the Antec 900 case and this work great Prime95 and 16 Hrs later the temp was at 46C if you have a cooling problem well this is the Cure well built i will buy again

Had a little difficulty installing this fan but I improvised anyway. I needed a new case anyways. But the performance I get off from this CPU Fan was worth every penny. I'd recommend it. Be Advise- Check your case. Mines is a Mid-Tower and I struggled a little but I got it.

I am running an Asus M4N78 PRO with an AMD Phenom Black Edition that is OC at 3.4 to say it was running hot is to understate it.It was running over 50c at the low and over 60c and then some on the other end and thats with 7 120mm fans,3 60mm other then the CPU fan. I know a bit of over kill, But with this toy its range is much better now from 30c to 46c it's been only a week so we will see if it keeps on working as well as its now. And the over all MB temp is down to 22c to 27c. Now if I could only cool off my video card just as well as the CPU I would be all set, as its running at 40c to 58c

Excellent CPU cooling system and super quiet - This unit cools my quad-core socket 775 like nobodys business - I have tried sevaral different fans, even the OEM fan - no close comparison - My system now runs cold. - Make sure your power supply is healthy-sufficient and install a fan management program - I used 1ntels desktop uti1ities - works PERFECT......

works very well cool & happy :)

One cold CPU! After watching the video it was easy to install, and it even had alternate screws so I could use the steel backplate on the MOBO instead of the plastic one they provided -- great option. AMD says they won't honor their CPU warranty if I don't use the fan that came with it. TOUGH! I'll guarantee it's colder now that it would be if I had used the stock cooler.

Comment:
Some may think that cpu heatsinks are an accesory but with this cpui heatsink you might notice a cooler cpu, a better preformance on your computer. Corasir is defintaly a brand you can trust but $90 for a cpu cooler os average price, for a high end one that is.

looks cool, works great. very easy to install

i have a core2 quad q9550 and this processor is very hot with the stock fan which temperatures are from 50 idle and 65 when doing rendering or using multiprocessors applications while with the Hydro 50 temperatures are 43 idle and in rendering process goes up to 50 which is great and marvelous thanks corsair and keep up the good work

I installed the corsair h50 on a phenom x4 955 black edition processor, and all i can say is wow. Simple to install, if you can follow some simple instructions. Works very well, keeps my beast at about 28 to 30 c idle, about 50 c full load all 4 cores 100 percent. I also installed the unit with 2 coolermaster fans in a push pull configuration. Overall build quality is also very nice, well designed and thought out unit. Great value for what you pay for it.

worked out of the box. fairly easy to install. I have paired with an i5 2.66ghz processor, ASUS p7p55d e pro motherboard in a NZXT tempest case. I didn't get the temps I wanted on my overclocks at first. I have 2 fans one on the back end of radiator and on on the front. both blowing out of the case. This helped alot as the hot air is not blowing in the case like the instructions said. I now have my i5 overlocked to 3.8ghz stable. Have also had it to 4.0ghz stable, but the temps were a little to high for me still. decent price for an easy overclock and works very well!

Building new gaming system,always wanted to try liquid cooling,with AMD Phenom II 965 cpu & ATI 4870 XXX overclocked, Corsair Dominator mem. for AMD Phenom , 8gb.

just got it in got the temps down from 50c to 30c nice now like to see some thing like this for video cards mine run at 55c almost melt down.
