Corsair Hydro H50 Water Cooler Video and Photo Review

What do you guys think? Both of the product and the video!?

[Gator650]

I'm very intrigued especially by the price point.

Great review. The music during the installation times cracked me up

[Olivas]

I would very much like to have a play with one of those If it comes in for less than NZ$100 I will buy one.

Though I will have to wait till i get home to check out the video, the vid-box it blocked by 'corporate policy'

Enjoyed the review, though I kept expecting Benny Hill to come on screen whenever the music played. Would like to see how it works with a 955BE.

Great vidoe & review! Can't wait to to side by side comparisons.

Looks like a miniature car radiator! Very nice.

Loved the High Tech PC screwdriver can we expect comparisons vs high end air coolers soon?

I want to get this H50 so badly, but the fact that it messes up my airflow really bothers me, I have the Antec 1200, would reversing all of the fans defeat the efficiency of the case in its traditional set up?
Or would keeping them in their traditional direction with the H50 blowing in work better? Or should I ignore the H50 standard and reverse its direction? lol
Otherwise, is the Xigmatek Dark Knight S1283V a better choice?

Might be better to hold off on the Gold Award till you do a real review, vs the preview. Possible air flow problems in a case environment must be checked, as well as noise. I suspect many cases will have a problem getting rid of the warm air when the normal top exhaust is used as an intake.

1. It would be impossible for us to test more than a few cases.
2. Keep in mind its a RECOMMENDATION from Corsair and in fact you could probably run the system with airflow going OUT the 120mm spot on the back, or exhaust outside the top, etc.

I saw a review or pre-review, I can't remember which or where (getting old), but it was not favorable to the Corsair H50.

It was a major site, I wish I could remember, I was surprised to see it posted so soon after COMPUTEX 2009.

PH, think I found the review you mentioned. Site uses brackets [] as part of logo. Still would like to see what it does with a 955, especially in a xfire setup.
