  • Frankly speaking, I was pretty skeptical about Corsair H50 when I just started the review, because of all the previous experience I had with similar systems. However, I am glad that I was wrong, because this liquid-cooling system did surprise me in a v...

  • Abstract:  Video Review: The Corsair H50 CPU Cooler is a great alternative to a custom water cooling kit. While it doesn't outperform a traditional water cooling kit it is half the cost, performs very well and is easy to install. Watch the video to find out more...

  • The Corsair Hydro Series H50 High-Performance CPU Cooler is many things in one package. It’s a shot across the bow of the guys at CoolIT, as well as anyone else producing a sub $100 pre-built water cooling unit. More than that it’s a good stand-alone...

  • Abstract:  There are a lot of different products out there, and believe it or not we exclude a few from each article because they don't stack up well at all. So this is why you may not see some of the coolers other sites have tested in our results. Because of space and time limitations it's just simply not feasible to

  • The H50 is a good example of the evolution of all-in-one PC water cooling kits. Corsairs cooling division has created an easy-to-install unit that offers great performance and commendably low noise levels. With a street price around $80 online, though...

  • Abstract:  Ultimately, the Corsair H50 CPU Cooler is a solid product. It’s quiet and performs well. But at almost a hundred bucks, it’s not exactly cheap when you consider high-end air coolers can produce somewhat similar temperatures...

  • All I can say is wow. I expected the Corsair H50 to do ok, considering Asetek’s reputation, and the fact that I really wouldn’t expect Corsair to put their logo on something that didn’t perform. But I didn’t dream that the little H...

  • Overall, Corsair's H50 is a definite winner in my book. Coming in at $80 USD (Buy.com), it is priced squarely to compete with high-end air solutions. Price vs. performance is solid, and there is little doubt that Corsair has achieved the goals they se...

  • Good performance, Easy installation, Flexibility in smaller cases
  • No dust filter, No vibration prevention
  • 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...
