[Solved] I5 2500k ASRock Mobo w/ H50 Cooling?

I got the i5 2500k with the H50 for $220. I am not complaining.

What GPU are you using with the rig?

Never buy closed loops on ebay. Not a good idea.

Not a good idea 'cos you will never know how old they are and how stressed they have been. A pre built closed loop has a lifespan, varying but it still has a limited life, and the H50's are actually quite old.... that's why it's not a good idea to buy one off eBay.

But, you could later on, mod the H50 to cool your GPU after you serviced it and bought yourself another LC for the CPU....
Later yes, it's a hell of a lot of fun, especially if you manage to do it yourself, and , then you can go all out, with a bigger budget and better pumps, rad and the works....
It's a cool first step..... toward water cooling a rig....

Seems like you never feel good about anything you post on the forums here

I mean it seems like he took care of his stuff, so it seems like it will work fine.

Worst case scenario I paid $220 for a used i5 2500K.

He said he used both parts last Sunday to test them before posting the auction. He also says that he uses his laptop more which is why he's selling the Desktop parts in the first place. I don't think he's a hardcore gamer enthusiast.

Yeah, I use my Ferrari only to go to the market that's 15 seconds from my place..... other wise I drive to France and back in my Fiat.....
Wanna buy my Fiat?

Well all of this was enough to make me request cancellations on both the Motherboard and CPU/H50 combo. So I can spend 25$ more and get the Mobo/CPU in a week with my next paycheck, and maybe watercooling in the far future.

Thanks everyone.

i5 is $229 on Newegg.
Mobo is $121.99 on Newegg

I got the mobo for $115.50 (Open box, but new) [REFUNDED]
I got the CPU/H50 for $220.00

Cancelled the Mobo already and am getting the refund.

Basically I saved $25 but I also got the H50, and I was really excited about getting some LC

EDIT: Got the mobo refund already. Waiting for the other refund.

So for the time being, you can get the same Mobo and the same CPU for nearly the same price that you were spending inclusive of the LC right?
Get it, use the stock cooler for a month until your next paycheck and then get the H100....

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.....

You can save 30$ if you went for the H80.....

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...

PICS!!!!!!!!!
We love pics.....

+1 on the H100

I use it and it is cool and silent

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

They are quiet and push a lot of air. Check this out:

Edit:

He puts the cougars in at about 16:40

Yes, Muffin, get those for the H80, they do make one big difference. But what are you using now?

Stock corsair fans, they are very very loud
