custom loop will yield better temps... no doubt about it. H50 is a good cooler but it can't compete with custom loops and is priced accordingly.

custom loop would be better of course, but will also cost more than twice as much.
that being said, i used to have a coolit domino (dont buy this btw, it WILL leak) and was able to have a real nice overclock. for the price point of the H50, u'd be better off going with high end air cooler, ull get similar results and wont have to worry about it destroying your computer. or go custom loop, as long as you take ur time and get quality parts, leaks just wont happen.

Go proper watercooling, the h50 is good but you can get a megahalems for a similar price and actually get better temperatures. Watercooling is fun Use compression fittings if you are afraid of leaks, they never leak.

nor do barbs and clamps if you install them properly.

compressions are easier though, but cost 3 or more times as much.



OP go custom. you will get better results and actually learn how to build a loop instead of tossing in a stupid prebuilt/prefilled system.

What is your budget? Are you willing to purchase used kit? Are you willing to do any fabrication or do you require everything to come out of a box ready to use?
