Hi Just got my new rig built last night. I decied on the corsair H50 to cool my i7 920. I added a sythe 1900rpm fan as an intake and used the stock as an exuast. The sythe actully ran at 2200rpm but now have a controller on it.

At 181bclk x 21 and 1.25 volts it handles 3.8ghz nicely peaking at 74c with an hours prime95 x64

Any one else had goos luck with it I know I moded mine a bit but even without it seems to do well compaired with stuff I saw on youtube.

Agreed. Not a good everyday temp, but thats under load. As long as your happy with it. Please when you post don't say it's a watercooling system. It's a teeny kit that has no comparison to real watercooling. 74c is kinda high..............
