Figured I would update this thread a little.

I am more and more impressed with this H50. Perfectly matched to my Q6600 IMO.
It got really cold tonight, so I opened the window and let the room get cold (its 50*f in here).
My [email protected] is idling at 15*C accross the board, and only going up to 54*C during intel burn test (extreme, 5 loops).

Played 2hrs of dirt 2 and maxed out at 41*C. I am very happy with this cooler + 2 Yate Loon medium speed's. I cant wait to add some shrouds to it to see if the temps budge at all.

Wow, 15c, must be cold in your room.

Yeah, I left and went to my gf's, only got back at like 10PM.

Room was cold as shit but it heated up within 5 min of turning the heat on (gas furnace). Gaming with headphones FTW (like earmuffs, but with sound! :D ).

Interesting! I'm going to be upgrading my sister's system and will have a spare Q6600, with board and RAM, and I wanted to build a Linux server... I may plan on getting an H50.
 
These H50's do a nice job, especially when my room gets some serious heat (summer is here). My QX9650 @ 4.2Ghz - 1.48v keeps the temperatures under 65*C with full load.

The pre-applied thermal paste is perfect for the H50, I applied some CoolerMaster HTK-002 and it gained 3c.

And yes its whisper quiet, even with the fan it comes with it
