CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler

Comment:
This is a very good water cooling CPU fan for any budget gamers/oc'ers out there. Fits well with most cases. Make sure for the Intel mobos you use the right hole for the backplate!

Really awesome recommendation from a friend. Stock cooler on my i7 860 wasn't working well and let my CPU get up to the 90's while idling at 45. This keeps my idles down to 20 and caps out at 45 max. Wasn't thinking to overclock, but now I'm definitely considering it.Setup was a bit more complex for me since I'd never done liquid cooling before. Ended up getting my friend (who recommended it to me) to come help me install it.

Picked this up on sale for my Thuban X6. Love it. Paired it up with a Scythe Ultra Kaze 120mmX38mm fan. If I let it run at the full 3000rpm, it keeps my cpu below 30 degrees under full load.

a very good cooling systeme for less than a hundred $ but it's not comparable with a real water coolingThat's do job for a low cost

I have this on a I7 920 2.6Ghz overclocked to 3.2Ghz, average idle temp is 42c thats down 4c compared to the coolit systems domino i replaced. so far load temps haven't gone above 60c I got this on sale for $45, but even at the normal price is worth it.

Comment:
i like it, my cpu runs nice and cool. havent had a any problems with it and its been 3 months now.

Mind blowing vs stock HSF, well for me. I bought this on sale to replace my Stock Intel cooler because it was not performing as it should to keep the cpu cool at stock speeds while also collecting too much dust, at one point it ran up to 60C idle. I'm running a Q6600 b stock speeds, after installing th H50 my temp is at a shocking 9-10C idle :O 20-22C load, the CPU is basically telling me, YOU HAVE TO OVERCLOCK ME before I freeze to death. I love the the design as it opens up the CPU part of the motherboard allowing for better and cooler airflow in my Antec 900 case.

Nice and cheap water cooler, works pretty well. I'm using it on my i7 930 (2.8Ghz) overclocked to 4.2 Ghz. Im getting about 35-40C idle and around 80-85 at 100% load. It was very easy to install, replaced the air cooled corsair A50 which in my opinion did not cool well enough. The included fan is not very good, I just hooked up one of my case fans to the radiator (along with the included fan) effectively setting up a push pull configuration.

CPU - i5 750 overclocked to u 3.47GHz with H50 and dual-fans for push-pull exhaust config idle - 36C 100% CPU load (induced by prime95) - 64C constant! I got mine on sale for $50 (w/ tax) and was expecting decent improvements, but the result are staggering. Extremely happy with this.

Comment:
Since this cooler works best as an intake, you must make sure that you set it up right in the case. I have it as a push-pull intake on my HAF 932 case and works fantastic.

Got this into my new video editing rig and it makes a considerable difference on the CPU temps compared to the stock cooler i had on temporarily. I went with a case > fan > rad > fan setup for more air movement, and setup my 2 fans in the case ceiling to pull air out the top. Works like a dream.Everything fit! The only difficulty I encountered was just getting the pump to seat into the motherboard harness; just takes a bit of maneuvering.

I just got this thing, snapped it into my thermaltake 4v (slightly awkward) replaced stock fan with 2 coolmaster sickle flow 120mm (led) and oh my god!!!!I was limited to a 540mhz overclock on my 940be on air and right away i pushed this baby up to 3.98. NO ISSUES. At this moment the temp wont go over 19C, just wont. I keep trying and trying but no deal. C'mon the thing is stock at 3.0 ghz. I LOVE IT

Bought this H50 for my current build with the intention of it being added to my socket 2011 build when it comes time to upgrade. My processor is idling at 32c and is pushing 55c max after 3 hours of Prime 95. The cooling pushed out by this cooler is absolutely great for the price I paid ($59.99).Computer SpecsE6500 c 4.1GHz (1.3825v)

Comment:
I had been using the stock Intel cpu cooler on my Quad core i5 and was getting temps like: Idle 50C, got the H50 and now at idle I have temps around 10C.

Comment:
Great deal. Water cooling for 60 bucks? ftw.

Comment:
Bought this cooler to cool my AMD Phenom II x6 and it's doign a great job. Currently have it set up for a push/pull config as an exhaust with 2x Scythe S-Flex fans hooked up to a NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller. Under idle, the fans are barely noticeable and the cpu remains a cool 20'C

Comment:
so far i love this kit it was very easy to install and keep my CPU at 44 and im over clocked (Intel E4300 g 3.3ghz from 1.8ghz) but the only thing i recommend is a push pull fan setup one fan will do fine if you not overclocked but if you its a must ... the stock fan is very quiet and so is the pump so i totaly recomend this kit for any first time watercooling people

Comment:
installation was OK. No major problems, had to remove motherboard which is a bit of a pain. Besides that, a breeze. Using antec900 with intel q6600 STOCK. Prime95 results:stock HSF: 50idle, 90maxh50: 30idle, 47maxpretty impressive results :)

Bought one of these about 2 months ago - it's awesome! One of the nicest and most comprehensive kits I've ever seen - they thought about everything - and included it in a well-packaged box.I installed it on a i3-540 (3.0 Ghz) and promptly overclocked it to 4.15 Ghz with no temperature issues whatsoever.An important note: A lot of reviews on the web complain about the included fan. They shouldn't. The fan works very well and is very high quality. If fan noise concerns you then all you need to do is properly adjust the speed of the fan in your mainboard's BIOS. It's very easy to make the fan 100% silent without running your processor too hot.I can't stress this enough - if you've read reviews on the web and are concerned about the included fan you don't need to be - it's a very high quality fan with a 4 pin header (PWM). This is an awesome deal for an awesome product. It's priced incredibly well and the quality is very high. It works like you wouldn't believe and if you really do have to run your fan at 100% speed it will keep your processor VERY cool. It's an incredibly efficient method for cooling your processor.I can't give this one enough praise!

Bought this for an i7 system but used it on a Phenom II x4 system first. System was easy to install on both an AMD and Intel setup. Quiet with the fan it was included with but will need to get another fan to match for a push pull system. Price was very competitive with other coolers, both air and other sealed water coolersOne thing I did not like is that the heatsink on the bottom has holes near them for the screws that hold the system together and when cleaning the surface to reapply some thermal compound.

Comment:
Absolutely Fantastic. Running a Phenom II X4 965 BE at 3.83Ghz 1.4750V. Fully loaded, 42 degrees in a 25 degree room.

Comment:
I have a mATX case so it was perfect, best cooling that could enter in my case except true water cooling but it's a lot less. I prefer it over the H70 since the H70 is a lot bigger and the H50 came very close in the benchmark when you put a second fan.

Comment:
Great cooler, getting very good temps on my i7 960. Have it setup for push pull. Wish it came with a second fan, as its much better in that config

Comment:
Using 2 Coolermaster R4s in push-pull this thing stays very cool. A couple of degrees over ambient at idle and under 40 under load. Installation was also surprisingly easy. All in all it's a pretty good design. Looking forward to getting at the OC.

First off, this cooler is much easier to install than every other cooler I've had to deal with. Those were all traditional heatpipe/heatsink combos with 120mm fans.The radiator and supplied fan fit in nicely into my Antec 900, replacing the rear case fan - this means no added noise to the system.Currently paired with an i5 760 and it does a great job.
