Alright, I think everyone will be asking questions when they see this

does anyone think my frequency @ lower then stock settings are normal? mayb good cpu, but temps are really high?

100% stable those are temps @ load. Anyone else have any other comments? I think i'm going to clock back to normal bios (2.6ghz) too see if it changes anything. I just bought this whole set up and put it together, i forgot what the temps looked at stock, i believe idle @ 37 vrs now where it is 45 and load stock :??? idk, but anyway anyone feel free to comment please

From what I remember, the H50 setup isn't an amazing cooler. From the reviews I've seen you either go big custom water or just get a big air cooler.

You've got good clocks at low voltage. I'd get a better cooling solution and then start pushing further, there's a user on here running his happily at 4.4.

alright, so i took it all apart re applied AS5 and temps are the same, roughly a little higher. its all reletive, might as well use the stock cooler.

Seriously dude, i am 99% sure that there is a problem with the h50.

Ive overclcoked my 920 to 4.2 with that with a much higher voltage and it was still fine.

ya i know 60's arent bad, but at below stock its just ridic, and im kind of over messing with it anymore... week straight f that.

That's what I'm seeing from the pictures (please use screenshots next time, they're much easier to read ). I don't see anything at or below stock there, except maybe the voltage.

*This info maybe useful for people wanting or thinking about buying the Corsair H50.*

Yeah, well... I will see if the "Cycle Duty" (Artic Silver 5, cycle duty = applying the compound and taking effect) makes any difference in temperature, meanwhile I will be swapping out the radiator stock fan with something w/ twice as much CFM. From what I can tell the pump seems to be working because its @ 1400 RPM (Fan Control) and the wires that the water is being passed through are moving. So, I have already reseated the Heat sink, re-applied Artic Silver 5 Correctly, and resat the CPU and I will post back when I get more results. I'll try and get before and after of the old fan to new fan and so on

Cycle Duty is poop.
I've been setup for over 2 months. Exactly the same results at same ambient.
In maybe a years time you'll see like 1C or 2C (article I read somewhere, AS5 apparently to cycle needs heat ups and shutdowns, if you use the PC once a day it works out at like 1-2 years or something - facts are vauge, but don't rely on cycle duty).

I wouldn't expect a 120mm radiator setup to cool an i7 920 @ 4Ghz. That's all the H50 is isn't it? I also wonder how it is 'quieter' since it still uses a fan to cool the radiator?

hmm all this talk of water cooling and my current bank balance... I'm gonna go price me some stuff.

Do you know there's a PRINT SCREEN key at the upper right corner of your keyboard?

im going to mc in tustin and they only have batch # 3939B078. are these good then?

Carlitos, they are good chips. I got my H50 @ load to 55C w/ 4GHZ @ 1.92Volts. Compared to 69.
