Doesn't sound right. I'd like to try linx, where can I down load it and try it?
At 3.8GHZ my H50 keeps my Q9550 below 60c on all four cores running OCCT linpack.
Agree, I just got my i7 920 up to 3.8 (speedstep off and HT on) last night and it runs prime between 65-67c. And that's before the AS5 has cured.
i was thinking the same thing. 20c seems like way too much of a difference, unless your case isnt setup properly for the h50.
I went from H50 to NH-D14
I had 85c in linx with H50 (push&pull). With D14 I got 65c! And it even much quieter than H50.
Can anyone else confirm this? The Noctua is actually quieter than the H50? That's my primary concery first and foremost. I can't stand a noisy rig. If I have to give up some OCing headroom in exchange for silence, so be it.
this guy did a pretty good test between the 2

I posted a link to my test of the D14 vs the H50. It's one page back in this thread. For convenience, though, I have included the link, below. In my post I included data for the H50 in push-pull, and with a Scythe fan. I also included data for the D14 with 3 CM R4 fans rather than the stock 2 Noctua fans. In all cases the D14 was still more efficacious than was the H50.dont fell like reading the whole thing but what was the setup on the H50 stock fan only or push/pull the air cooler is 2 fan push/pull so duh its going to be better its moving more air let me know when he re does it with the same 2 fans on the H50
then there is the size issue the Noctua is HUGE again tons more cooling area it better be better then the H50
id love to see it vs a 120.2 setup id bet it would be damn close
The point that several of us have been trying to make is that if you test it, in the same system, against a high-end air cooler such as the D14, then the high-end air cooler will display greater cooling efficacy than will the H50.
I think the little h50 starts to lose some of its ability at 4ghz+.

The posts regarding the D14 being a more effective cooler than the H50 are in response to some members' claims that the H50 cools just as well, stock vs stock, as high-end air coolers. The reason why one or the other cools better is a whole different thread, altogether.
Again, the argument isn't whether the H50 is a good cooler. Clearly it is. The point that several of us have been trying to make is that if you test it, in the same system, against a high-end air cooler such as the D14, then the high-end air cooler will display greater cooling efficacy than will the H50.
Keeps my Q9550 stable at 4.3 GHZ.
I think it's a great value for a self contained effective liquid cooling solution. Very pleased with it so far. I've had mine for almost 6 months now.
I am not saying its a bad cooler but with an i7 @ 4ghz+ you will get temps in the 80's which is not very impressive. You could lower those temps by 5c with two 120x38 high speed fans but then its size becomes comparable to the size of a regular tower heatsink.
Its a good cooler but if you are trying to hit high speeds with an i7 then you would be better served with a high end air cooler. And I am not just saying this... I have used the H50 extensively.
But otherwise its an impressive performer for its size.
I personally run a H50 and a i7 @ 4.2Ghz... 1.35v, I have never seen 80c, cores idle around 45 and max temp i have ever seen during Intel Burn Test was 68c
I have run every stress program to my knowledge and I still have never crashed this system nor got this i7 hotter then 68c on my H50

run prime95 small fft's for 10minutes and post a screen shot of it with cpuz and real temp or hwmonitor open
also need your ambient temp
do you live in iceland?
Don't believe me fine, I could care less, not going to waste my time posting pictures that you will just say have been photo chopped anyways
from what I have seen from other peoples temps and my own (check out the massive thread at overclock.net regarding the h50) with i7's clocked at 4ghz+ they all seem to range from 75c to the 80's. Its not that I don't believe its that your temps aren't on par with what I have seen myself and I had mine set up with push n pull with lower voltage then yours as well.
Also I have found small fft's to get my temps hotter then intel burn test. I mean a quick 10 minute test of prime95 isn't asking too much. Also do you have hyper threading enabled?

kyle, what ever happened to the [H]ard review?
this preview was a long time ago.
Etailers mail assembled PCs all the time. That's why Asetek designed this LCLC concept aimed at the OEM market.I would neve mail a fully assembled pc... Asking for stress damage or full on breakage with that IMO

Just pulled the trigger on one of these to go along with the i7 system I'm building. Yes, I've managed to wait this long before finally building one. I'm hoping the H50 will get me to at least 3.6 at under 70C load. I suppose we'll find out soon enough...
why? Because you cant build a system that will not fall a part in the mail?
I mailed a fully built computer that had a 1/2"ID single loop with a 2x120mm rad in it to like New York I think, made it there and the buyer plugged it in and it worked flawlessly
Went looking and couldnt find it but there is a rather recent news piece about an x2 card (cant remember Nvidia or ATI) that snapped the slot off the motherboard from its weight...while the system wasnt moving. My opinion (IMO = in my opion, maybe you missed that in my post) is that your taking a rather unnecessary risk mailing a built PC. I understand companies ship them like that all the time but if one breaks and is RMA'ed, they can handle the costs. I for one, dont make enough money to rebuild an expensive piece of equipment such as these.
oh and last time I checked, you really can assemble a computer any other way then industry standard...something to do with slot designs and circuitry mumbo jumbo...so trying to insult my abilities is not only uncalled for and childish...but its also not really possible.
