@MrGreene - yes, the AM2, AM2+ and AM3 are pretty much the same socket and mounting. The only difference is the chipset and DDR2/DDR3 support, although I have seen some goofy set-ups that take both DDR2 and DDR3 and AM2, AM2+ and AM3 CPUs. Crazy!

@crimson

it supports am2 .. (not sure if am2+ is something different, I'm not an expert with pretty much everything that has to do with amd)

the h50 has no am2+ retention

H50 is a little better in

H50 is a little better in performance. Also consider the new CoolIT Vantage: http://www.3dgameman.com/reviews/1167/coolit-vantage-advanced-liquid-cooling-cpu-cooler

@skyfire most people just have a triple radiator system, cuz thats what most full tower cases support. but their are also the quad rads that support 4 fans, ultimate water cooling :P

The H50 preforms slightly better than the ECO A.L.C.

Submitted by Vortex on Sun, 07/25/2010 - 15:24.

@PowerUser A custom water cooling loop is going to cost a lot more than a dual rad version of one of CoolIt's products. The whole point of closed loop systems is not only to save space but to cut cost as well. He'd still be saving space with a dual rad closed loop setup because he wouldn't have to worry about pumps and reservoirs.

going with the CoolIT Eco

Submitted by crimson117 on Sun, 07/25/2010 - 15:14.

going with the CoolIT Eco A.L.C it does support am2+ and its that little bit cheaper, might not perform as well as the corsair h50 but it will certainly perform better than my current thermal take blue orb 2 and a lot more space

EXACTLY! Besides the whole point of the H50 and ECO is to take up less room. if your going for something like a dual rad then go with custom.

to answer crimson H50 has better temps.

you should go to the coolit

Submitted by suprc4 on Sun, 07/25/2010 - 13:48.

you should go to the coolit website, they have other watercooling products that they dont sell in stores and only on their site, like dual rad setups. its pretty cheap id say, and outperform the h50.
