So many debates about the big air vs little water; they both come out pretty even. Depends what you want - the Megahalem is great but to get best performance you'll need to crank the fans up; whereas with the H50 it runs nice and quietly but you might not be able to get that extra little push you'd get from the Megahalem.
Have a look over at the test a member over at eVGA forums ran.

Wish I had found this earlier haha. Searched wrong apparently. Thanks a lot, by this I'm leaning toward the H-50... quieter is good. Just need to make sure mine comes with the am2+ clip.

If you fancy massive heatsinks and noise + very good cooling if you have a good airflow = Megahalem.
If you want it good and quiet but still be able to cool very well and you can brag about how you're running watercooling

= Corsair H50.
Personally I'm not sure whether to get Corsair H50 or Megahalem for x-mas..
But from the reviews I've read, it seems like high end air cooling (like a megahalem with push/pull config) will beat the H50 for sure.

99% of the time you would correct but this is the exception its not that thermaltake crap or those other crappy WC kits.

That's a fantastic point - with water (in this case, the H50) you have to worry about pumps failing and leaks (yes, I know it's unlikely but there's still room for error).
Also, the Megahalem is just damn sexy!

And it looks like Optimus Prime. Come on!

Personally I think the H50 is more sexy
