Ok some time (couple of years?) have passed since those all-in-one WC came out, what is your experience in the long run?

eg.
Has it lost water due to evaporation?
Can you hear more bubbles now?
How easy/common is for the pump to break?


Durability is my main concern with all-in-one WC, and that's why I haven't jumped to one of them (always used custom WC or air in my rigs)

But now I'm moving back to small ITX/mATX and an all-in-one WC will be a great option due to size/performance...
Any feedback? biggrin.gif

Thanks!

I've used a H60 for a year now. 6 months in an HTPC because it wouldn't fit an air cooler and then I transferred it to my sig rig. It performed a bit better than the Hyper 212+ that was in it before. And then a little better when I added GT 2150's but it's so loud to me that it's turned down quite low and now it performs about the same as the stock fan again.

Water evaporation? I'm not sure how anyone can tell if it has evaporated? Besides, it's in a closed loop... so if it evaporated, it's still in water form and is trapped in the closed loop.

Can't hear any bubbles in mine.

Been a year and pump still works fine.

I also have a Kuhler 620. I actually much prefer the Kuhler over the H60 because of the tubing but that's just personal opinion. I'm not sure if one is better than the other though because the Kuhler is on my GPU.

I've had my H50 running in my system for a little over two years (bought in December '09) and it's still running great to this day. I can't say I've heard any bubbles. The failure rate on these closed loop coolers is pretty low and the last I heard, Corsair offers to replace any damaged components in your system if the pump leaks fluid.

Are the GT AP-15s still recommended as the best performance/noise ratio fan for an H70?

I'm really picky when it comes to noise. I gave an AP-15 a try last night and at its rated 28dB, it gave off a bit of a high pitched whine that was driving me nuts. The performance was great though. It was performing at around 2-3 degrees celsius better than the Cougar Vortex in the same single fan config.

Well if you've had a custom loop why not just stick with custom loop and just go 1/4" ID tubing? It'll do the same thing you want and if you're worried about evaporation just go with a thicker brand of tubing like say PrimoChill LRT? Not sure they make it in 1/4" ID but it's worth looking into.

I had my H50 for about a year so I can't speak to evaporation but I can speak to the size of the Push/Pull w/Radiator and shroud. Took up quite a bit of room but still did a fantastic job keeping things cool. thumb.gif

They are. But I have to say that a reasonable alternative if you have a fan controller is Yate Loon. It's a reasonable alternative for a much cheaper price(still after all this time) and with a fan controller they're almost non existent in dB. I've got mine at 3/4 and you can't hardly hear them. They're pulling through my 360 and temps with Mainboard to CPU are 43 on the CPU under full load on a 24c warm day. It's pretty humid out today too, due to it being overcast. I could crank em up if I were gaming but really no need to do so. thumb.gif

Agree, these closed loop maintenance-free coolers are great imo. Thinking about adding a couple more for my video cards.

Anyone seen this?

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/cooler-gpu,15534.html

Thinking about purchasing a couple of them, but my local parts supplier says retail is going to be over $150 each. Yikes! I think Corsair is missing out on a market opportunity here. All they have to do is create a bracket for their coolers to fit on video cards. If they did, I'd purchase two and two H60s.

"Well if you've had a custom loop why not just stick with custom loop"

Lol, two words: "maintenance free" (for me anyway).

I can clean my computer in about 15 minutes, no dismantling a custom loop required. Actually, since all my intake fans have filters, I'm really not finding any dust in my rad and hardly any on the fans. A quick wipe with a swiffer, and then a blow out with the compressor and I'm pretty much done. Gotta love newer cases with filters.

I had my H50 for 2 years without a leak or even one bit of problem at all. And then....the warranty expired...and the little Sam Kinison on my shoulder could be silence no longer.


450

I broke the H50 pump circuit board when I dropped it and so I picked up an H40, removed the aluminum heatsink, replaced that with the copper one from the H50 (required cutting 2 circles on the top of the padded tape that covers the fins but no other mods) and put both rads in a loop with it (I'll add a res when I figure out how I want to do it).

Edit - Excuse the mess. I still need to tighten up the interior (hide cables etc.).
