Anyone else interested? It depends on price, but it would be nice to replace my VenX with something a little quieter for better performance!

Yup,

I'm definitely interested...Should fit my 650D perfectly

I'm thinking about it as well!!

I've always been a fan (pun intended) of DIY liquid cooling.

I enjoyed building my DIY WC rig way back when... but thats a whole new league of price too. You can't even get into a decent DIY setup until you're talking 3-400$. This should be better than any air coolers out there and be in the $100-120 range. not even comparable

It always did cost $200-300 to get into DIY liquid cooling. Less if you were willing to build parts of it yourself.

oh of course, i didn't mean that it was a new thing that it was expensive... just that its quite a barrier to entry. I, for one, welcome our new Corsair overlords!

It will be my first attempt at liquid cooling. The closed system is what got me interested.

Directron will apparently be having these for $105 when they get them in stock (4+ weeks). not a bad price, pending reviews

[Annirak]

It looks pretty excellent for a pre-built system, I'll give it that.

I'm curious to see what the performance is like on the H80 and H100. I've been told by others that the H50 is being outperformed by some of the higherend air coolers. I hope this isn't the case with these new coolers. I would really like to do some serious overclocking.

yes, high-end air coolers are closer to the H70 than the H50 at this point. Granted, you're paying roughly the same and have to deal with the massive size of these new air coolers.

I have no doubt that the dual-rad alone is worth a decent amount of difference, hopefully the changes in the water block will be good too

I wouldn't mind upgrading to the H100 (coming from the H50) but I'll wait until the price goes down a bit.

Interesting in seeing some reviews for it.

I think it was Josh that said that the H80 wasn't doing too well even with a couple of high static pressure fans because the radiator was too dense.

Radiator looks similar to many case top mount units... reminds me a lot of the original Koolance case setups. I would not mind migrating to for the increase in cooling surface but Corsair really needs to work on the tubing... both in the length and rigidity aspects. They want the rad fans set up to be pulling cool air in. I agree with that concept.. except their tubing length leaves the rear case mount as the only option. That goes directly against how case air flow is supposed to work. Cool air in from the lower front.. exhaust to the top and rear.

Depends on your case. I've actually had much better results with air cooling pulling in from the top with my 800D. of the top 3 fans, the front 2 blow in, the back blows out. the rear panel blows out as well. Does a very good job providing cool air flow directly to the cpu area. Your lower fronts and stuff can still provide cool air for the GPUs and the rear 2 provide adequate exhaust.

I honestly don't think the "conventional wisdom" of case air-flow holds very much water and the whole over-vs-under pressure stuff is all crap anyway, it depends too much on individual setup
