I would suggesting going for the H100 or the H80 instead of the H50, not that they are bad, I am using 2 of them, but the new ones are better and more efficient.

That is because the H100 is a lot more expensive than the H50..... but it's also a much better performer.......
Plus, you're getting the warranty on all three...... for the full time period, so if you divide the performance and warranty into the Ooomph factors..... it's way cheaper than you might have expected it to be, but still a little more expensive than what ebay offers.....

Yeah, sigh. It's been a bad day. I absolutely feel like garbage for cancelling both these transactions so I can later buy parts that are too expensive now.

This is when I go through my closet and look for stuff of my own to sell on eBay.

I can't understand why you're feeling blue, the only thing that is missing is the LCL in the same amount of cash that you were spending on eBay and are now spending on Newegg now. Which is not going to be a very long wait until the end of the month...... so you can change over from the stock cooler to the LCL of your choice....

Because this guy had a CPU/Mobo/H50 combo, and I asked him to wait for it to expire, then relist just the CPU/H50, and he did at a fair price. Then I bought it and want to retract the bid. I just feel really bad.

"Regardless of whichever reason you want to use to cancel, I'll send you a cancellation so that you can get out of the transaction and I can relist it. But, if you are buying parts on eBay used, you won't know regardless what has been done to the part. I've been honest that I had overclocked the CPU, as well as used liquid cooling so it stayed at a stable temperature and never crashed. I sold you the i5 and the h50 for a few dollars more than an i5 itself sells for used on eBay, and I've been honest about everything thats been done to it as well as how its been kept. That being said, if you still wish to cancel the transaction, just accept the cancellation request so that I can relist the item, though I will be relisting for the same price that it was."

I'm all tears after reading that.... 🙁 but so if life..... I'd rather cry just reading this, then have you come back to us at Tom's and then ask us why the rig is giving you problems and then finally us concluding that one of those parts has given way. Simply said, I'd rather , you didn't have a bad experience and let the seller find another buyer....

Yup, it'll mount fine on the underside of the top of the case, so, that means you're good to go... :)

Looks.............. Smoooooooooooooooothhhhhhhh....Oh.... I'm in love again..........
Oh you'll not need any more fans.... the H100 will come with another 2 or 4 I guess....
put cougars instead of all four fans with the h100..... and you'll never hear a thing about the fans and the cooling again.

What's so special about Cougars? They look cool, but they don't light up. Also I heard Noctua is really good and so is SilenX

After seeing those pictures I went ahead and did a good cable management setup for my own Phantom. It was terrible before, now it's decent I guess.

@OP Yup, that looks good, very well managed cables.
Would it be possible for you to give us a flow diagram of the fans in the case, use MS Paint, square and rectangle tools to depict the case and fans, with arrows pointing to the direction of flow of air of each fan....pls
