About to order, final opinions?

I did my prime check for few hours, it was stable and without any problems, I don't see a point of running it for 24h. I've been running this system with an occasional restarts for weeks now. It runs multiple Lineage 2 clients + whatever I do in the mean time from watching HD movies, playing civilization 5, to running structural engineering calculations (which is what I do for living). The system runs also 2 screens, 24'' and 46'' both at 1920 x1080. I got my H50 pretty much as soon as they became available and yes, I admit I would not use it for some extreme overclocking (benchmarking or w/e - personally i am not into these things), but for the regular use it's just fine, does the job and in the mean time - looks good. I don't want you guys to get me wrong, Noctua is a better cooler and I never said different, but it does look for me like people and please don't take an offense are a bit close minded.

but mate u cant be close minded when u have both like i have the h50 was stinking for me it doesnt cope with intel heat at all, i thot it was ok when i had to RMA it when it leaked needed a new heatsink got the noctua and it blew the socks off it very easily

but regards to amd its not exactly got as much heat to compare with so ud expect it to be better but for the money they charge u the noctua is the only choice in the matter and anyone who got an h50 over it are either silly and havent done research or dont have the room to accommodate it, simples

and as ur argument to the average user stick to stock cooling save the money

I don't have any experience with H50 on Intel, I guess that can make a difference. I am really just sharing my experience which obviously was very positive. I do have a place to accommodate Noctua ( ATCS 840), although as they say if it works don't try fix it so I won't be jumping on the band wagon. About stock cooling... well that's just heresy and we all know it

On other forums people are reporting that the h50 with the 2500k at like 4.65ghz is still holding up reasonable temperatures
