Mega Shadow or Corsair H50 - Page 2 - Overclock.net

ImmortalKenny · 10-06-09

The H50 is mainly made for computers that can't fit a full tower cooler, and it's not made to handle overclocking either.

Also do you guys know if the included fan clips can accommodate the 38mm or it only for the 25mm?

And...on another review, don't remember where, when a second fan was put on the h50 for the pull it had some really good temps.

No, the included fan clips are for 25mm fans. But Prolimatech does sell them 38mm fans separately.
I just ordered them Corsair Calumniators from a fellow OCN member, and I hope they will fit due to the removal of the mini heatsinks.

No, because that's the reason why it has the backplate.

$100+ for an air cooler is an awful lot of money.

No it shouldn't warp your board at all over time. The only possibility where warping may occur is if you install it incorrectly. Just follow the instructions very carefully and if you run into problems just ask us for help, that's what we are here for!

is ~3c worth that extra $40?

IMO, if you are gonna spend a minumum of $100 for an air cooler you might as well spend an extra $50 and get a nice water cooling setup.
