I finally gave in to all the positive H70 reviews and bought one.
Most reviews show at least a 10 degree C. lower temperature for the H70 over the H50 at 100% load on a over clocked CPU.
Not all reviews have been that positive. So I'm doing my own H50 vs. H70 testing.
For my testing I'm running Prime95 v.253 for 1 hour.
Voltage under 100% load of my i7-930@4GHZ cpu is right around 1.36v.
Using IC Diamond 7 Carat Thermal Compound on both the H50 and H70.
This is my H50 set up and will configure H70 to match as close as possible.
Average idle is 35.5 , average load at 74.5
("ghetto shrouds" and Scythe Kaze 120x38mm fans on both side of radiator)
I expect some problems with the shorter H70 tubing but I think I can come close to matching the external radiator mount position.
Results for my H50.
Ambient temps 72 degrees F.
Will post back with the H70 results once I do my swap.
