just get an aftermarket air cooler, prolimatech megahelms for example

[Benji77]

^^This, the H50 and H70 aren't worth the extra money. The air coolers do just as well if not better.

i beg a huge differ that air coolers do better at the low-end side as the h50 is a low-end water cooler

the h70 has a bigger rad = possible problem but i got the h50 before the h70 hit our shelves
diff between 860 OC 3.36 stock and h50 is around 16.5 so h50>150$ aircooling

Where learned you english?

And dont be blinded by the "watercooling", air coolers are cheaper and will perform just as well.

Oh and Megahalems just looks way more awesomerer kk homeslice?

thats a poorly written way of stating the obvious

[O-L-W-A-G]

^^would rather not have something not holding on for dear life thanks
and i actually hate the way they look.

^dont really give a

^ if you care enough to post, you should care enough to make it readable

[Speakman]

a h50 is just above the TRUE120, and costs about the same


Megahalems is the way i'd go

[Hmmmgood]

It depends on the radiator size aswell,i picked up one of these http://www.playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139235/CATID=216/ID=13886/SID=645788426/productdetails.html only cause i had store credit (Asetek make the H50/70 for corsair).

It does a better job than my megahalems at keeping my i5@4ghz cooler,very rarely does it go over 40deg.

And it look a million times better than the air coolers aswell.

[han16]

Plus it frees up all that lingering heat above you motherboard which reduces the temps on your NB...very important with a nvidia board like i have...

[O-L-W-A-G]

^^+^especially if your like my dad and got a 570LX with 2 fans

[han16]

PLUS they look cool as fuck.

[Mayhem_Lee]

haha yea i cant fit a dual rad well mayb i could with some case mods, and sure aircoolers are super sexy well some of them and they do pretty darn good @ cooling. But the watercooled kits are smallish and tidy and thats really what im after. & something new


This http://www.playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139235/CATID=216/ID=6521/SID=1051025654/productdetails.html or the corsair h50 but if they both made by the same person i'll save me 50$

Nice rig han got enough HD's in there?

[O-L-W-A-G]

pretty much the situation these days someone just slaps their name on it and sells it

anyways just buy the 550LC then buy two decent fans you'll find the corsair fan is crap and noisy you'll also need to find some screws on your own to mount a second fan on it or you could just use 2 screws on either side

Actually working on getting 2 more in there. Just need some fancy plates to mount the hdd's in below the optical drive.
HOWEVER, just temp replaced my motherboard so my neat cabling went to hell...plus I have to reset the thermal paste on my cpu as i fucked it up. Thats the only issue with going hardout tidy, when you have to mess with it the system never returns to the original awesomeness...

Pfft screw pre-closed loop cooler, go for a proper WC loop its better down the line and it can sh**t all over the h50/70

[Speakman]

yeah but i bet that doesn't cost around $150-180

Pfft screw proper WC loops, go for a liquid nitrogen fueled cooler its better down the line and it can sh**t all over your stupid reasoning.

[Craig]

I like using Phase cooling. Does wonders for your temps.

Nice dude

[X_rAg3]

How is my reasoning stupid, when it is proven that proper WC loops are better than the shitty pre-closed crap... and liquid nitrogen is not an option for everyone think about your stupid reasoning.
