Hello all! This is the Corsair Hydro Series Club.
Over the next few days I will be updating this thread as much as I possibly can.

When reporting testing results, the more information you provide ...
The more professional and "detailed" the responses will be
Here are the basics ... and screenshots really help for quick/accurate diagnostics
1) CPU (model / @idle or load / stock or overclock@ ***GHz / AND CPU-Z vCore)
1a) Fill in your system specs (see my signature below
)
2) Stress Program (usually P95 [v27.9] Blend 30-60min)(IBT can also be useful)
2a) Temp monitoring program ... Real Temp / Core Temp / HWMonitor etc
3) Ambient temperature (usually room temp if your case isn't crammed into a cabinet)
4) Radiator Setup (open bench/ Push or Pull / Push/Pull / Case Intake or Exhaust)
5) Fans model (Stock or aftermarket) there rpm's and/or AIO setting (low/med/high)
Prime95 w/AVX latest version 27.9 [HERE]
CPU-Z v1.65 [HERE]
Real Temp v3.70 [HERE]
HWMonitor v1.23 [B [HERE]
Core Temp v1.0 RC5 [HERE]
IBT v2.54 [HERE]
Interesting thread [HERE]on stress monitoring. I don't necessarily agree with everything he says, but it's a very good discussion on stress programs! The main points I got out of it is Aida64 will heat your processor higher than P95 with Less Voltage .... hmmm. And it is very important to run the latest version of P95 [v27.9] as the instruction sets have changed significantly to where the load temps are getting very close to IBT/Aida64. The chart below, for those of you that don't know or ask where the heck is IBT in the chart, LinX and IBT are essentially the same program
This is why "screenshots" are so helpful ...
It's easier to confirm 100% Load / core temp vs CPU temp / vCore / Watts load etc.
Yes IBT is helpful if you understand the risks TDP95w IBT is pulling 126w
More info on P95 and my quick favorite stability test, 1hr of custom setting with FFT set to 1344 and 1792 after an initial 20min Blend test ... See HERE /and HERE

There are currently two forms for the Owner's Club. One is from the previous owner and this new one was created by me. I am looking for a way to integrate the old Owner's list into mine, but due to time constraints, I'm not sure when if I will be able to. I cannot take the time to manually add the old Owner's list.
If you need your infomration update or have more than one cooler. Please let me know in a PM and I will be happy to update your information. Please do not add more submissions as that does increase the work for me.
The new form is for all coolers, not just the current series.

What is the fluid inside the unit?

Should I mount my radiator in an exhaust of intake configuration?

However, the H-series are very good at sending a lot of heat out of that radiator, and if you run it as an intake then you will be sending a lot of hot air into your case - this might be detrimental, especially if you have graphics cards with struggling stock coolers.
Personally, I prefer to run my unit in exhaust for better health of my system - and if you have a good amount of intake into your case somewhere near your radiator, you'll see very little temperature difference between intake and exhaust.
Here is a blog directly from Corsair; it includes some of the testing they did on Push/Pull setups.
I don't like the idea of all that water near my components, what if it leaks?

What is the thermal tape that comes with the H50?

What speed does the pump run at?

If you think you have an answer to a commonly asked question, please PM me with the question and answer and it will be added here. And, of course, you'll be acknowledged for the input.
