Corsair H50 opinions

[mrtube]

Hey, Looking to buying a Corsair H50 when I upgrade my main machine.

Reason being, inorder to use any of the 120mm coolers I would have to remove the side 120mm intake fan. I want to avoid this as well as the 800-1000G of weight pulling on my motherboard.

I read mixed reviews, most of them showing the H50 performs about on par with the popular highend coolers. Which to me, means its perfect for my use. It fits, and will perform.


Looking for any and all opinions.

I'll be using this on an EVGA P55 SLI board with an I5 750 processor.



BTW. found it disappointing that Corsair blocks certain brand names from their forums, such as Antec. They want you to enter your system specs, but if you enter Antec it turns it into "*********"

Actually bothers me to the point I almost don't want to buy their products anymore.

BTW.

I was also considering using the Noctua NH-U9B. Its not as heavy as its bigger brother and may still perform well with the I5 750.
