Corsair Hydro H50 CPU Liquid Cooler Review
Metku and Techgage have reviewed the Corsair Hydro H50, a self-contained liquid cooling system.
Here's what they had to say:
- Metku:
"Low cost liquid coolers have always been a mixed bag, and definitely a product range that most enthusiast have been avoiding, but I feel like the H50 could be the exception to this rule. The most common pit-falls of previous coolers have been cracking acryl blocks and poor performance, both of which Corsair has avoided. The simple and solid construction with care-free tubing, coupled with easy installation is definitely the way to go.
The performance is also top-notch for a cooler in this price range, taking a close win over the comparison in our performance tests. Noise-wise it's not bad either, coming second only to the fan on the Xigmatek air cooler."

- Techgage:
"As it is, the H50 is an excellent piece, and I'm pleased to award it a 9 out of 10 on our Techgage scale. There were no real downsides to this product, and it performed at and above my expectations. At the current retail price, it is one of the better choices in keeping your CPU nice and cool. Add to this Corsair's legendary customer service and support, and you are going to be hard-pressed to find a better value.
I should note that this article is the first of a series of cooling reviews to be posted in the near-future. We recently revamped our entire cooling methodology, and we expect future content to be more robust, especially once we get many more coolers tested to add to our charts. Be sure to check back often to look for all future additions to our cooling content. Xigmatek recently sent us a few of their coolers to check out, and Zalman with two of theirs as well. We'll be putting these through their paces soon, so stay tuned."

This is effectively a slightly tweaked Asetek Low Cost Liquid Cooling (LCLC), but with substantially better performance and at a great new price.
