Corsair H50 $40 Best Buy

Got one for the family computer. My computer is watercooled so don't need one. Bad thing is that no more available in stores so I had to get mine shipped to store. Hope it they get it faster than it actually says on the receipt.
 
Darn you OP... I almost bought it but had to resist. Such a good deal!! Although I might change my mind tomorrow hahaha :)

Website said in stock at my local BB so I bought it with in-store pickup. Store is open tomorrow on Memorial Day. Awesome deal but going by my previous experiences with BB wouldn't be surprised if I don't get it for a couple weeks.
 
Building my girlfriends rig tonight...just called my local BB and they have them. :D
 
wow, didn't even see this on [H] earlier. I happened to be in BB today and picked one up with some store credit I had left over. Heck of a deal, my first one about a year ago cost about $60
 
For anyone who is interested in this but traveling for the weekend, you can use the BB website to order one for in store pickup. Then you have a week to get to BB and grab it.

I gotta say I'm puzzled with this thing.. copper wb but aluminum rad? that's a big no-no in watercooling... galvanic corrosion galore :mad:

Thought that there had to be direct contact (or at least conductive contact) between the dissimilar metals.
 
Alas, It doesn't seem this sale is on in Canada.
It's a shame 'cause our dollar has been on par with the 'states $ lately.
It's still $119.99 on the BB site here, looks like ill call them up and see if I can trick em into a price match! :p

im thinking about opening it but i have offers and if you think that I travelled to get $5 thats just crazy lol
this thing is BIG
 
I got the last two from my local BB and I don't even have a desktop anymore lol. Maybe save for the future build
 
I ordered mine and will be picking it up on Tuesday. I will be using it to cool an i7 970.
Would it be beneficial to have the rad sit outside the case?
I know its impractical, but my PC is out of sight anyway. The hoses are long enough to sit a fair distance from any exhaust fans on my case.
 
Good cooler at a great price.. Not worth upgrading from my Hyper 212+ though since I already have it push pulled with blademasters. But if buying to replace stock then 40 bucks for the h50 is screaming.
 
I also plan on picking one up in the morning to replace the stock cooler on the Phenom in the server.
 
Looks like they're sold out online and store pickup is no longer available. I get paid tomorrow and I'm looking in to getting a new computer soon definitely going to pick one up. Maybe two? I might just be that crazy.
 
Good Deal. I paid 59.00 for mine last June. Honestly though i'd save up for the H70 now. The performance difference from the h50 to the h70 is incredible.

Is there really a $60 difference? The only thing I can see is that the H70 comes with two fans for a push pull, and I bet any [H] member worth his salt can jerry-rig that from parts sitting around his room.

It's incredibly easy to put a second fan on the H50, no rigging necessary. It has screw holes to support a second fan, all you have to do is buy 4 screws and your good. The manual even tells you what screws to buy.

That said, there is more than just that different about the H50 and H70.

The rad is twiceas thick also i think the h70s pump is better and the tubing turns. Little stuff like that
 
I know i don't NEED one, but for 40 dollars might just stop by BB later today, since its no longer available online...Would go now but forgot my wallet at my moms. So waiting on my sister to bring with her later for the cookout.
 
I picked one up at the Best Buy in The Colony, TX. They had 2 left after I picked mine up. Also scored a portable 320GB toshiba drive for $30 :D

They just have to be in the same loop. I'm sure there's anti-corrosive in the liquid in the Corsair loop, though. Not as big an issue as some think.

Yes. Always best to have the rad as far from the heat source as possible, it just often looks bad or makes moving difficult, hence it's rarely done.
 
I picked mine up but have not installed yet. I don't plan to install it with the fan as an intake but rather add a second fan push/pull from inside out. I hope this does not make too much of a difference. I am replacing an a70 mainly due to it is so big it blocks one of my memory slots.

That's what I eventually did, no filter on rear fan as intake=bad. Besides, with good airflow the inside case temp is not going to be much higher than ambient, if any.
 
guys..jw how this would compare to my noctua NH-U12P SE2?

i paid $90 for it last february and get 55c @ idle with stock temps/volts. i had it running 200x20=4ghz @1.4v but it would get up to 83c which is way too hot for my room. i reseated the cpu, applied a new thin coat of AS5 but got similar results afterwards.
