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
smile.gif
)
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.

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

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.

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?

I tried applying the MX2 a few times before I was happy. I ended up putting 5 small dots on the chip and then mounting H50. Seemed to give the best result (by observation), if you're not hitting stupid temperatures then you probably did it fine.

Am not completely bowled over with the results, but maybe theres something wrong...just want to check with u guys....I have mounted it with the tubes on the top side of the case and the corsair logo right side up. I used Mx2, using a card to spread it over the CPU and I have two yateloons at high speed on the rad pushing air out of the case. I have two 60-70 cfm fans on the side window pushing air in...so I am really wondering what the issue here is.

Its also takes a good amount of time to cool down...is this normal...my pump runs at around 1300-1350 rpm and is on 100% all the time. The two yateloons are running at 2000 rpm all the time....i tried the rad out with 1450 GT's and the yateloons make little to no difference while being a lot louder...what do u guys suggest?

Man, my Baram was better than this.

You have the same processor as me, granted I'm still at stock but I get around 32C idle and never more than 48C load. Not sure about ambients, quite warm english weather


What sort of temps are you hitting? Sounds like you should be lower than me with that setup.

Running a standard 1 hour test now: 1h 0 min, medium data set, priority normal. Hyperthreading disabled. I'll post back in an hour.
