CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:Poor fanMediocre mounting system

Pros:Compact and flexible for a variety of platforms
Comment:
Does it's job, but I found the included fan to be very weak and the mounting mechanism to be a bit strange.I bought 2 H50 units and 2 CootIT ECO units. Straight out of the box with all 4 being installed onto i7 920/930 setups, the ECO units installed faster and are cooling better. I believe this is almost entirely due to the fan with the ECO system to be much better. Does what it should, but I likely won't buy again.

CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:None

Pros:QuietGood performance
Comment:
Excellent price for a quality cooler system. I have it installed on a LGA1366 and it's been working quiet and great since. The size is not too big so it should fit most cases.

CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:limited in rad mounting position due to hose length.

Pros:secure mounting, easy install
Comment:
For being a self contained system this is decent, there are some air coolers out there that work just as good. I have one mounted unsing the AM2 bracket and another using the LGA775 bracket, same installation on both. overall a good cooler

Cons:none

Pros:smaller than traditional heatsinkseasier to install than traditional water coolers

got this price matched, going to try to run a push pull on the radiator with two gelid fans. seems pretty decent. fits very well and makes cable management easy since its so small. very nicely packed too.

CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:- Old style install clamp was easier to use- Not powerful enough for decent overclocking

Pros:- Its an all in one unit- Maint free!- Quiet depending on fan used- Good value
Comment:
I use it for most of my builds now, good solid build and quiet fan included. When I bought my first one, they had a different clamping system that has since changed. Unfortunately it didn't change for the better, and makes it a little bit more complicated to install.However, don't be put off by just the clamp system. This is a fantastic cooler that you probably won't be disappointed with, unless you need to do some real overclocking with.

CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:fan is audible

Pros:Easy to install, dropped temps by 8-10c pump whisper quiet
Comment:
Replaced a arctic cooling freezer extreme on my amd 810 quad, dropped my temps 8-10 degrees using stock thermal compound. Insalled very easy in my lancool case. I have the fan intaking cool air. I can hear the fan but not the pump, can't even feel it working if I touch it. Think I will put the coolermaster fan I removed and see how it cools. Overall I am impressed with this product. Price matched it and saved $25 so can't go wrong.

CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:Corsair should have provided an extra 120mm fan for the push-pull configuration.

Pros:Very good cooler, beyond my expectation, easy installation and efficient cooling without noise. Work as advertised.
Comment:
In push-pull configuration it Cooled my Q9550 CPU by 10 C at idle and by 25C at full load.I even overclocked to 3.2 GHz and didn't even reach the temperatures I got with my stock cooler at standard frequency (2.83 GHz).Just great. This is the same high performance cooler you find in the Alienware gaming PC.

CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:Had trouble installing the radiator onto the tower considering my motherboards heat sink. Probably not a problem for most users.

Pros:Beats most high end air cooling solutions for around the same price.Great performanceEasy installationNot noisy
Comment:
Had an easy time installing this product onto my rig. Instructions were easy to follow and after applying my own thermal paste onto my i7 chip was very pleased with the results. Also pleased with the price.

CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:Tubing is stiff and difficult to manipulate/bend; Corsair recommends installing H50 in intake configuration – which runs contrary to the logic of dissipating heated air outside the chassis; the obvious drawback of this type of CPU cooler is that the tubing cannot be routed through the chassis, resulting in a breakdown in internal airflow dynamics for cases that cannot accommodate installation elsewhere than the rear exhaust slot (e.g.: CM Cosmos S).

Pros:Effective cooling option; low-cost liquid cooling alternative; relatively quiet operation;
Comment:
All in all a good cooling option. Effectively cools my AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Hexacore CPU to mid-20°C range (idle) and mid-30°C range when under heavy load conditions (e.g.: FAH).I'm confident in recommending this product to consumers seeking a low-cost liquid cooling alternative. But do your homework and shop around and keep your options open.Installation for AM3 bracket took less than 5 minutes. Good; in any respects. Bracket is good quality and easy-enough to manipulate. Installing the waterblock was difficult, and my (careful) attempts to correctly anchor the waterblock inside the bracket nearly resulted in bent tubing... Not a good experience when you've paid $90+ for a product. The tubing is stiff and difficult to position – a good thing because greater force will be required to damage the tubing.

CORSAIR CWCH50-1 High Performance CPU Cooler
Cons:Quite small in terms of tubing, gets hot very quicklyDoesn't cool as well as I would have expected.

Pros:Fairly easy to install.
Comment:
Bought two Ultra Kaze to go with the H50, but was quite disappointed.Temperatures are fairly similar to my old cooling setup, which was simply a 80mm by 80mm heatsink and a 1500rpm 120mm attached.The tubing could have been slightly longer for better cooling, but it is quite short.

Nice for I7
Comment:
This cooler is a great product. It droped my temp a lot. But I noticed one thing. Since you have to change the airflow to pull some air from the back, it was hard for me to make a decent airflow. The reason is because I have a full tower with already 6 fans in it, and it was not designed to make the airflow that way. I can't change the direction of 2 fans so I had few options for a decent airflow. My temp were going a bit higher when it was runing for a long time ex: Prime95 60c after an hour and a half, but about 72 after a long time. I changed again some fans and now it is better. Just think about it how you can manage your airflow if you have a specific case with a lot of fans.

Best value for the price!
Comment:
With summer coming on, needed additional cooling in a non-ac room. Easy to install in full tower size case. Chiller reduced CPU temp by at least 10c with single included fan. Installed the replaced 120mm fan in pull configuration and temp dropped another 4c.

Will stick to hydro cooling from now on
Comment:
My previous air-fan makes loud noise, and my computer freezes once in a while. After changing to this hydro-fan, sounds a lot quiet, neither freezes my computer. The only flaw I found is the air-fan noise changed into pump-vibration, but it's hard to notice, may put a pad between floor and computer case to absorb the vibration. Installation took me a couple of hours, I put the big-fan on the side panel which has big fan holes originally.

Awesome company to design such a great item. Price was great for what I got. Easy to install even without the hole in the back of the motherboard mounting plate. Video and other reviews along with the discount sold it to me.

Received today, installed in few minutes. My PC dropped from 30- 35C ( normal ) and 50C and more while playing to 16 - 17C ( incredible ). Raised to 20C after playing 2 hours straight BF2-BC2.

Great Product!
Comment:
Have this installed on AMD 965BE, never goes above 35c running stock 3.4ghz at 100%. With Cool'n'Quite turned on, cools to 24c when idle. Easy to install, I'll be buying this for all my future builds. Love it!

Will never use air again
Comment:
Why buy some giant clumsy air cooler when for the same money you can have this gem. I7 930 4.0 mhz and im running mid 30c idle and low 60c during runs of prime95 Only thing to take note of is where ur back panel is exhausting as the radiator and fan will take up a little bit of space. On my evga x58 sli the north bridge cooler blocked my push pull setup so i had to mount one fan on the outside of the case. Effective, quiet, and it works. unless your going to a complete watercooling system no need to ever use air again.
