First Corsair H50 Review

Post by Major_A »

I can only assume that this is a retail kit. I would be nice if they would've included some CoolIT products in the review along with a push/pull configuration.

Corsair asked reviewers not to test the H50 in cases with a side fan as performance sucks... I noticed Hexus didn't mention this from what I read and used the Akasa Omega case that doesn't have a side fan.

So far my testing on the 'retail' kit shows that it's 1C hotter than the TRUE at idle/load... This is on the open test bench. Our review is coming, but it will be an honest one... Not following the corsair 'reviewers guide' that tells you what to do to make their cooler look the best. Sorry, but I'm upset with the way Corsair launched this product. I've also had several of these and all the original test samples had screws sticking up out of the base. I'll post pictures once we are closer to posting something.
