Corsair H60

Corsair are launching a new CPU watercooling kit the H60. This time with a square CPU waterblock and what's apparently a quieter fan designed for high static pressure (thank god). Thin radiator like the H50 so better compatibility with cases.

I seen that, I do like it actually. Ive always liked the all in one watercoolers, but the reviews seem to be hit and miss. This is a joint venture between Coolit and Corsair I believe. They are teaming up for new products. I love the black and square block. And the giant corsair sails are sweet. Arrrrrggggggh

So Corsair has ditched Asetek and joined their arch rival Coolit? Interesting...But looking at the specs of the fan 74.4cfm, 30.2dB and 3.2mmH2O, those are some impressive fans.
 
I spoke to coolit yesterday and now Corsair will be dealing with all the distribution and actual sales of the cooling systems as well as warranties but Coolit will still be making them. I'm interested to see what Corsair will do with the rest of Coolit's line up the Omni and Vantage in particular as with a little bit of work and a price reduction in the case of the Omni they could become quite decent products for those that wont or cant for whatever reason go for a custom water cooling loop. All I'm hoping for though is a H60/ECO 2 with a 240mm rad as Coolit did with the ECO 1
 
We can poo-poo these types of coolers based on the original ones that came out. Looking down our respective noses at them in near disgust

However, I would suggest constantly checking back on these newer revisions each time they hit the market, cos I have a feeling one of these days they'll get it right. Not absolute replacement for wc or something, but good enough, or maybe convenient enough, to hit the spot and be a cheaper consideration.

Pricing as an alternative to a tower based air cooler has stopped me using them at home, but I'm willing to be persuaded folling a decent review.

Asetek makes them and they end up in high-end boutique systems, but very hard to find commercially. Why?

Asetek do not deal with consumers at all only system builders such as Dell/Alienware, HP and so forth the reason for this being that watercooling is still fairly niche and given the choice between sticking in an LCLC and building a proper cooling system from the ground up as most enthusiasts would it's just not worth the effort for them targeting the consumer market. That's why they are hard to find. The situation though now is changing as LCLC's while not in the same league as full watercooling loops in my opinion are better than great big heatsinks as they take up less room weigh a lot less and are now "about" the same price and performance as the mid to high level heatsinks.

Totally agree Rasta. They're very convenient in terms of size for the performance you get, whilst the awesome D14 is very unforgiving in that respect

You're right though, they need to either be better somehow or cheaper to compete with the current top end tower coolers. Here's hoping that this one is cool and quiet, then I'd consider it a future LAN build where space is a premium.
 
naw thier just making it square so it goes on with their logo not a skewed as I have seen on some rigs lol.
 
I have the H50 and the performance is...disappointing to say the least. With the H50 attatched I get quite good idle temps (35 degrees) but when I stress test with prime95 or indeed IBT, I hit 73 degrees and sometimes more.

Decent air cooling can outperform the H50; H70 and most probably now the H60, not to mention a full custom waterloop.
 
what voltage are ya pushing to get to ur oc????

its probably that extra 30watts its pushing for the hexa-core

Still 73 degrees is above what AMD lists as the maximum safe operating temperature, which I would be completely uncomfortable with having. Like that's hotter than an i7 950 running Noctua D-14!

Just a suggestion Michael H have you considered replacing the thermal paste on the cooler?

I'm going to try reapplying later today. If that doesn't help I'll use Corsair's suggestion and use it as intake instead of exhaust. Failing that, I'm replacing my OCZ Reaper RAM with some £59 G.Skill RipJaw 4GB and fitting a Noctua NH-D14.
 
Reapplied thermal paste

Thats after just 12 minutes on prime95 blend (6 torture threads). Saying that...at the time of posting this (16 minutes of prime), the temp has JUST hit 66
