I'm planning to buy this CPU cooler when Asus will send me a new mobo,
http://www.corsair.com/products/h50/...aign=H50Launch
It's the new Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50. I'm buying this because I want to replace my Noctua and my local computer shop doesn't have the TRUE 120 nor the Megahalem and I don't know nothing about a custom watercooling setup and my budget is also a bit small. I've read a review that it's better than the TRUE 120(here). The thing is you mount the radiator at the rear obviously but Corsair recommends to put the fan as an intake not as an exhaust like everybody does.
I have two intake fans at the front: one is stock and one is a 48 CFM fan
A Scythe Slip Stream (1200 rpm) at the bottom as an intake which most of the time, the air is being sucked by the GTX 280.
Two Antec Tricool fan at the top running at 1600 rpm (56 CFM) as an exhaust
All fans are 120mm fans.
Is it going to be ok or will it be airflow chaos inside?
Oh and if anybody has this cooler, is it possible to do a push-pull setup?

i would bet that the noctua will perform better than that water cooling kit on an i7 oc'ed

That cooler is terrible. your Nocutua will perform better! Just order at good air cooler online.

How do you know that it's bad? I mean it's still new and, well there's only one review and it beats the 120. I've seen a video of it being 10°c colder than the TRUE 120

derek2esilent

video doesnt work, and the water cooling only has a 120mm rad, that will not be enough to cool your i7 oc'ed

I don't want this to turn into a long and annoying argument but if you say a 120 mm rad is not enough, how come does it get better temps than a TRUE 120? At 3.85GHz (at Hexus) and 3.9GHz (in that video). Oh and the video works if it doesn't just type it in youtube.
Oh and we have seriously gone off-topic in a couple of minutes.

look at the way the fan on the true is mounted. for all we know it could be blowing air backwarsds into the heatsink. even if the fan is mounted the right way and pulling air through, that is not the most effective way; hence most fans push air through a heatsink.
also for the fanboys:
waz teh TRUE lapped and pressure m0dded?!?

The cooler may not be that bad, but that TRUE was obviously not working right. What temps are you getting with your current cooler? I would say save your money and wait until you can make your own custom water cooling.
