Tempting.

Beats a TRUE according to this review.

It sure is tempting, any more input out there ?

at $60 the H50 is a worthy adversary to the TRUE and Megahalem. at $80... not so much. I have one and it is a good cooler. You will see best results with a push n pull setup. I saw a good 5c drop in temps with that over the stock config.

Also stock paste on the block is Shin Etsu so you don't need to supply your own as shin etsu is good stuff. Also getting this at best buy is a good idea because say it doesn't work out for you its easy to return.

How do you go about setting up the push/pull? Does it come with extra hardware? I was thinking of mounting it on the top vent of my P182, could I use the stock case fan?

Pretty hot deal if you ask me. The other lowest price recently was ZZF for $75 before $15 mir.

And ZZF had the older bundle where it only came with LGA 775 and LGA 1355 brackets.

Nice deal!
I wonder if it is an upgrade over my Mugen 2.....

This is a good deal. I love my H50.

I setup a push-pull in my Antec 1200 by removing one of the hard drive cages from one of the front facing fans. You can't see the mod from the outside, and took me about twenty minutes to do.

It brings cool air in through the case, through the radiator.

An i7 920 with a QPI of 160 and a voltage boost of .025V, with all 8 cores (HT) at full load for 24 hours converting 5 HD videos concurrently, my temperatures peaked at 70-72°C. During those 24 hours, someone shut the door to my room. When I got home from work, my room was over 85°F... it was 69°F in the rest of the house with the air conditioning turned off.

My idle temps, after a few hours of web browsing and video watching, is 45°C.

shouldn't i7 920 be cooler than my Q6600?

and mine is at 1.45v @ 3.6G with Freezer 7 Pro air cooling, which isn't that good but still keep idle temp down to 36-38 and load temp around 55-60.
and my room is pretty warm.
