The Easy Intel CPU Performance Upgrade
Your PC will run cooler and quieter when you replace your CPU’s standard heatsink with a Hydro Series H55.
Installation is straightforward: if you can get to the back of your PC’s motherboard, you can install an H55. All you’ll need is a screwdriver.
The compact components and flexible tubing make Hydro Series H55 easy to install even if you’re cramped for space. It allows you to improve your CPU’s cooling efficiency even in most compact cases — as long as your case has a 120mm fan mount near the CPU, H55 will probably fit.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So during the shipping wait, i did do some research to determine why my processor was running so hot. Seems like the voltage was set way to high by default, so i turned it down from 1.35 to 1.20, and that dropped the heat by about 10 to 15 degrees in another benchmark, so honestly, running my CPU under load at 80 to 85*c was not that bad. I could almost live with that, so i was starting to regret my purchase.
The next thing i did while waiting for it to arrive was watch the youtube video that demo's the installation, hosted by Corsair themselves. Here it is if you wanna see it http://youtu.be/PUxoFiFuS_g . Okay, so i will say, watching the demo is a MUST, because the directions simply suck. To quote a pirate: "They're more like guidelines, really." So do watch the demo.
The installation was very smooth, other than my annoyance at having to remove the motherboard, which meant ripping out my graphics card, as well as the fan in the back to make room for the new one, unplugging all the peripherals, undoing all my beautiful cable management, and of course, removing the stock cpu fan, and cleaning off the thermal compound (i used 70% rubbing alcohol and about 20 q-tips). It took an hour just to get started! But once i was started, the cooler installed easily with no issues.
Before returning the side panels, i plugged it in and checked to make sure i didn't screw anything up. It booted up to windows, and i turned it off, redid my beautiful cable management, and returned the pc to it's home. I will say the Hydro Series cooler looks very cool in the case, just sleek and smooth. Not that it matters, as i don't have a glass side panel or anything (that stuff is for the cool kids).
Now let's talk about temps. I reran several benchmarks, and instead of peaking at 95*c... i peaked at 60*c, but usually stayed around 40 to 50 which was just shocking to me. I idled around 20*c compared to 55*c, or 45*c after lowering the voltage. So all in all, i am very happy i purchased the cooler and took the time to install it. The lower temps will give me some room to work and relieve any worry about overheating. Highly recommend this product.
Oh, and i got the quiet edition, and I did not notice any "water" sounds or loud fan sounds as other reviewers did. Well i could hear the fan, but it was an acceptable decibel.

Ich hatte keine propleme mit dem Produkt
Es kam gut verpackt an und original verschweißt keine propleme wie die Vorgängerrezensionen
Die Installation gestaltet sich angenehm einfach
Die brackets tauschen die einfach nur eingedreht werden die Schrauben mit den Klammern draufdrehen und aufsetzten festziehen und das war's im Prinzip auch schon der Wärmetauscher macht einen guten soliden Eindruck
Die Fans sind so mittelprächtig würde ich ich sagen aber für den Preis durchaus in Ordnung
Da ich mein uefi Fan controll auf turbo gestellt habe sind die Lüfter etwas lauter da sie schon frühzeitig etwas höher drehen
Der Geräuschpegel stört mich aber weniger jedoch legen viele da ja sehr viel Wert trauf
Ich sitze aber zu 95 % sowieso mit Headset vorm PC weswegen ich davon nichts mitbekomme
Ich habe einen ryzen 9 3900x
12 Kerner der mit den mitgelieferten AMD wrait Prism zwar schön aussah ich aber teilweise knapp an der Grenze zum Throttling befand mit teilweise 97 Grad
Mit der h75 sind meine Temperaturen nun bei max 71 Grad unter Prime
Als Wärmeleitpaste habe ich Arctic mx4
Diese leistet gute Dienste und ist einfach in der Handhabung
Ich kann den Kühler jedem empfehlen der eine Budget Kühlung benötigt die ausreichend Kühlung bringt und ein etwas Lauterer Betrieb nicht stört
Ich bin voll zufrieden damit und würde sie mir jederzeit wieder kaufen
Bei intell wird noch eine Backplate Änderung notwendig sein die mitgeliefert wird da ich allerdings keine Intel CPU besitze könnte ich diese Schritte nie ausführen würde aber davon ausgehen das der Einbauprozess nicht groß umständlicher ist
