It should be a good cooling proposition for a fairly hefty overclock.
Note there are much better and pricier water cooling rigs out there.
The last page of the review pretty much sums up the advantages of the H50.
I hope this helps.
Like all water coolers there is a risk of a leak ... but this one looks quite simple to install and will work efficiently and quietly ... no fuss.
