CORSAIR Cooling Hydro Series CWCH50-1

[Conumdrum]

Your right Spring. Some do rave about it but haven't experianced real watercooling yet either.

Stick with the 212+.
Exposed heatpipe heatsinks are the future, they work great.
Just take a slightly different TIM approach (i like to draw a thin line down each pipe, personally).

lol... now That's funny. That's exactly what I did... used AS5, not the included TIM.

Since I just got the thing, its going to take hours for this to set. My temps should go down from what they are now...

look what happened when you disbale HT.. it thinks its a i5... funny...

and look how much lower my temps are...

 

[Bobnova]

Those're pretty decent temps if you ask me.
How did you find the fan clips? There's a thread cursing them around here somewhere.

That's probably me... They suck... Probably better to use a wire ties...

would anyone recommend this corsair pretend water cooler if the object of it was to build an i7 multi use htpc in as small a case as possible? as the general opinion would be that its no better than a high end air cooler but these are generally quite large in size and would struggle to fit in a small micro atx case but would cool better than a stock intel cooler which im assuming might struggle to keep my cpu cool in such a small case, and if anyone has any recommendations for a nice small case/cooler combination as im trying to build a decent power pc thats as portable as poss as i do mobile djing sometimes and currently use my laptop but this struggles when used with my native instruments audio 4 for some reason hence my decision to try and build a htpc instead, fyi ive already purchaced an asus rampage II gene and an i7 930 being able to overclock is not important but would be nice if i had that option.
cheers

it would be great for a SFF build. MIAHALLEN did a SFF build on an h70 and it's still one of my very favorite SFF projects

 

[oldskoolhead]

im not sure what ur refering to by sff?

 

[oldskoolhead]

oh drrr small form factor lol im just slow lol

 

[oldskoolhead]

any ideas on how small id be able to get it or recommendations for a case perhaps one them silverstone ones and what size psu i would need?
cheers

Holy thread necro thursday, Batman!

wicked stuff mine is a micro atx board rather than an itx in fact i think its an extended micro atx board slightly larger than standard micro atx as it also fixes to an extra row of standoffs so i should have a bit more space than that but im going to keep it as small as poss but i dont have any metalworking facilities to mod anything but it certainly inspires ;-) i was considering going itx as well lol i was just worried about air circulation hence why i was considering the corsair water cooler to aleviate this problem but was unsure if it would but this confirms my thoughts that it would and you really can cram it all in a small case nice 1

better? lol

 

[m0r7if3r]

much!!! Thanks!

Is it possible for you to maybe Lap the 212? If you can that would even out the heatpipes and the base.

I also have a 860 running at 4.01ghz, i am running on water however. But im thinking of going back to Air on the CPU and just running water for the GPUs

 

[m0r7if3r]

Gotta be careful lapping hdt sinks, if you puncture the heatpipe, the sink is ruined...

 

[DigitalMonkey]

Try the Noctua NH-D14

It performs better than the 212 Plus, definitely in oc systems.
