Default Mega Shadow or Corsair H50

Mega Shadow http://www.prolimatech.com/products/megashadow.html

OR

Corsair H50
http://corsair.com/products/h50/default.aspx

What interests me the most about the H50 is the price point around 70, ease of install, and low noise.

In terms of the Mega Shadow, its a great cooler and price is in close range.

So having trouble deciding....

Go megahalems. And 2 Panaflo's for push/pull. That will wreck the H50.

Will I have enough clearance with the 38mm on my rampage II extreme. I am using 3 slots right now.

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.

Refer to crooky's thred. I would go with megahalem only because it looks cooler and probably colds better.

Another question...the mega shadow is pretty heavy, is there a possibility it will warp or alter the board over time even with a backplate?

Go MegaShadow or Megahalems with either one 120x38mm fan or two 120x25mm fans in push/pull.

The MegaShadow/Halems will beat out low end liquid cooling like the Corsair H50.

I would get the Mega Shadow and set up with a push-pull fan setup. I would also buy it from ebay, there is a reputable seller that is selling them. http://cgi.ebay.com/Prolimatech-Mega...efaultDomain_0

I bought one from him, and I'm waiting to build my i7 rig to use it.
