fixing h50 pump

faridr · Apr 9, 2013

Hey guys, im thinking of replacing my hyper 212+ with 1 and a half year used corsair h50 since its really a good deal where i can sell my 212 and add around 5 dollars for it.

My only concern is if the pump ever fail after warranty period, would it hard to fix it myself? Anyone has any experience with h50 pump?

I've had my (in 2 different cases) for almost 3 years, got it not long after it went on sale. No issues at all. was on my AMD system first and now on my i7-2600k. I set it up with 2 fans, 1 hooked to the CPU fan controller and the other with a manual speed control. Works great.

The trouble is that if the pump DOES fail, you have virtually no way of repairing or replacing it, since it's completely built in.

Thank you DarkSable, I will be sticking with air cooler then, uglier but less thing to worry about

Yep. That's the trade-off with air coolers; they're large, heavy, and ugly (especially in the case of a Noctua

), but they cool better for cheaper and are miles more reliable.

lol... had my H50 for as long as I've had some air coolers. +++ not as much cleaning issues due to dust in the fins

That's very true, but a LOT of people have had issues with the pumps failing, and when that happens, you're pretty much SOL.

yes... but I do not mess with it now that it is going well...
