Corsair H50 Cooling System

[dex_Bn]

Is the H50 a sensible buy, planning to OC my core i7 920 to 4ghz
Using the Corsair 800D Case.

Sorry yes, typo.
I mean H50

Were might my money be better spent?
Very new to WC

I went with the h50 because the dark knight would not fit in my case. A decent air cooler is a better choice provided you have space for it. Most are pretty big.

Hmmm, in terms of a high end cooling system, what would be the recomendation?

 

[dex_Bn]

Thanks for all the input , and yeah the case is very nice

Will probably go with a higher end water cooling unit, if not the H50.
I would rather venture into water cooling as appose to air, do to the design of my case, and the dusty environment in which its kept

A great basic very very quality setup. A top stuff used by experianced watercoolers. You'll get much better temps with a kit like this than any air kit, and quiter to boot.
And it's actually a low price.

Problem with http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/swh2edukit.html is that I live in Australia, and as such without importing the cheapest I can get this is around $400 AU, unlike the H50 which I can get for just $100 AU. Is the increased performance worth paying 4x more?

Alright, thanks again
