GAMERIG Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I dont know if this thread is against rule? Yes I am H50 Owner, but this is not mine, another Owner is own and modded this: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/736/dsc014001.jpg http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/4602/89658420.jpg http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/4893/58092514.jpg http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/1994/28785729.jpg from link :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbelln97 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 well thats a bit... odd? :P bit concerned by the use of cable/zip ties? any indication of the effect this had on temperatures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heliman41 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I dont see the mod gain? Yes, I see that one can see the pump moving coolant is this the reason? Looks like a lot of work for nothing just MHO. Now IF the lines were connected to a chiller then I can see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quyeno Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 the only thing you've gained from this mod is cool green pipes but i think you mod has actually impeded the h50. the fine mesh cover you have on it will restrict airflow to the radiator.

skorpio Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 My purpose is to get the radiator out of the box, away from heat produced by 2X4850. and if it is true that a very dense grid can affect the ventilation of the radiator but it is a matter of change, or remove it.

GAMERIG Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 @ Yellowbeard, Yeah, Ahh... another third person modded his H50 with Swiftech MCR220 Radiator (aka) 240mm radiator. http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/2194/cimg0307.jpg http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5593/cimg0308.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 It will be interesting to see how the H50 does with that dual rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowbeard Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Our H50 is not the same as the stock Asetek version. There have been some improvements made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAMERIG Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 In case, anybody who dont sure what ID and OD meaning. ID stand for Inner Diameter and OD stand for Outer Diameter. My highly recommending: the PVC tube 1/4" Inner Diameter (6.35 mm), 3/8" Outer Diameter (9.525 mm) for H50 if you desire to modifiy tubes. ;) You can find PVC tube from LOWE and HOME DEPOT. Plus You can find distlled water from Target and WalMart store. ;): Please remember what Yellowbeard's quote We'll need to remind everyone that this sort of modding will void the warranty. link Our H50 is not the same as the stock Asetek version. There have been some improvements made. Yes I agree with this post. :D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAMERIG Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ask the creators of those mods to post here instead of copying their pics :)Wow, I feel guilty, because I never thought that I ask them for their permission I post those in this thread.. thanks for your great advice and remind me, otherwise you can lock this up. its up to you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Links to the source is good enough. We had one of the creators start his own thread, but then he deleted it because he saw your pics. Personally I like to see the author create the thread if at all possible, as they generally post more of the thought / build process. No need to feel guilty :) Sharing is caring! Also, we're going to have a build log area / article system soon, so the more info posted the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heliman41 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Has any of the gents here doing mods thought of running a line thru a ice water chill between the pump & the radator? Im wondering how chilly one could make it before worrying about condensation? Say 35-40F? A small foam lined cooler with the line running thru it is what im thinking about. With a lid on it the ice water would remain cold a LONG time. At least a full day. I guess my next question would be to the Corsair guys as to what would be the longest line run one could place on the H50 if he wanted to add a chiller line like im speaking about? Anyone know how long a line the pump can handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonDa5 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Cool mods but I think they are risky. I know the double radiator is dead. The pump gave out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportedWood Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I know the double radiator is dead. The pump gave out. This is interesting to me, reading up on the asetek site there is already at least 1 OEM using this pump (without corsairs "tweaks") using a bigger radiator like that and they have plenty of pics on there site showing 1 block/pump with bigger rad + gpu cooling. If you read around on there site they talk about different pressure systems and how this type of system can handle multiple blocks or radiators with this 1 pump. Wonder if his failure was due to something else :confused: Clicky The blackbird has 2 gpu's and a massive rad and its fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hondajt Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 My H50 has a leak in one of the hoses. I think it got too close to a cooling fin on my NB cooler, so I am about to mod mine. Whats the best thing to fill these with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 90% DISTILLED water and 10% antifreeze. the antifreeze will stop the growth of biologicals and the distilled water will be free of any minerals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stev Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 My H50 has a leak in one of the hoses. I think it got too close to a cooling fin on my NB cooler, so I am about to mod mine. Whats the best thing to fill these with? Make very certain that you use DISTILLED water to prevent any issues that tap water has. Tap water has traces of minerals and other things that will ZAP the coolant mix of it's corrosion protection in the cooling loop. Back in the days of the Corsair HydroCool 200, the mix was 1/3rd Propylene Glycol to 2/3rd Distilled water. With the H50 it may be a different ratio.
