Default Asetek LCLC or Corsair H50 for i7 860...

Wondering if it would be worth it to get either the Corsair H50 or the Asetek LCLC liquid coolers for my new i7 860 build versus getting a high priced heat sink?

NCIX.com - Buy Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H50 CWCH50 High Performance CPU Cooler System LGA775 LGA1366 120MM - CWCH50 In Canada.

NCIX.com - Buy Asetek LCLC PRE-FILLED Liquid Cooling System CPU Block Pump 240MM Radiator No Mounting Hardware - 35-101-1012200 In Canada.

is it even worth getting one of these liquid coolers or should i just opt for an air cooling solution? thanks!

Seriously, I own them both and it was a great waste of money:) for the price get a Prolimatech MegaHalems and two great Gelid noctua or scythe fan setting in push pull and you are in what we call business. The only real great point I have found using them is that they give me alot of place for playing around my CPU. Nothing more.

Ask for more.

I vote no for both as well. Either get a proper H20 setup or just grab a decent air cooler.

Would you guys say that the Corsair H50 is still not worth getting and that I should get something like the Thermalright True 120?

Where does one get Megahalems in Canada? NCIX doesn't seem to carry it any further.

A good air cooler like the Prolima Mega (IIRC Tigerdirect has em in stock), Noctua D14, Titan Fenrir, TRUE, Zalman Flex or damn near any of the other big boys will eat the H50's lunch.

Hell, If I was going to blow big bucks on a cooler...I'd either get a D14 and three Yate Loons (or CM Blademasters), or a Zalman Flex and two yate loon's (and pocket the change from the dif in price between the flex and D14).

YMMV
