Hi I have a Corsair H55 cooler and upon dissassembly I noticed a strange shiny grease that I couldn't get off of the MoBo. Is it possible the AiO has leaked? I have a few questions - Is the AiO causing this -Will Corsair Refund me (5 year warranty) -How do I clean it up as I intended to sell it It's only on this tube the other 3 connection points are fine

I'm upgrading my motherboard to allow me to use a much better cpu, though i'd like to continue using my corsair H55 which is currently installed. i already have the correct mounting equipment but before i dig out the screwdrivers i was just wandering if any of you had any tips on avoiding accidental damage many thanks

Hey guys i want to ask if the Corsair Hydro Series H55 is a good cooler? I want overclock my CPU and i cant spend a lot of money on a cooler, is there any coolers in this price range that are better? Help me out Please PC PARTS mboard - Asus Z97-P CPU - i5-4590 4 threads 4 cores GPU - AMD R9-390

Corsair H55 AIO VS BeQuiet! Shadow Rock LP Which one of these cpu coolers is better? OR what are some better cpu cooling soulutions under 83mm tall. Currently planing to either get a 3700x or a i7-9700k inside a SilverStone Technology 27023 Raven Mini-ITX. Thermals are my main concern, but acrostics are also important too. Height: MAX Cpu cooler height = 83 mm Shadow Rock LP 75.4mm H55 (would mount the radiator and fan right above the block since there's a spot for a fan directly above the cpu) radiator: 27 mm fan: 25mm would replace with a 15mm fan, either the included silverstone case fan or a noctua. block: 32mm Total w/ 25mm fan: 84 mm Total w/ 15mm fan: 74mm *Side note*: Could get the Corsair Hydro Series H5 SF to fit if I sanded down the 3 metal stands offs holding up the blower style fan & radiator by 1-2 mm. Hydro Series H5 SF: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018B7BS8G/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A1YAK8U7QV5H1E&psc=1 H55 and h75 have a similar block -- [block specs]: https://www.bit-tech.net/reviews/tech/cooling/corsair-hydro-h75-review/1/

Hi, i got an ASRock H55M-LE and plan to buy a X3440 and do some OCing but it looks like not a great mobo for that so just want to know if is ok to do it or should i get a X3460. Thanks

CPU: Intel - Xeon x3450 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Rosewill - RCX-Z300 CPU Cooler Motherboard: Zotac - H55ITX-A-E Mini ITX LGA1156 Motherboard Memory: Micron - 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR3-1600 Memory Storage: Intel 330 240GB SSD Video Card: PowerColor - Radeon RX 570 4 GB Red Devil Video Card Case: Cougar - QBX Mini ITX Tower Case Power Supply: Thermaltake - TR2 500 W ATX Power Supply I used PCPartpicker and realize the 3.0 usb headers on front will not work, and I am okay with that. Its just Xeon X34xx is not on pcpartpicker and I am worried that the itx H55 board does not support Xeon processors. Also found out that this board only supports 8GB RAM so rip.

While building a pc i noticed that i couldnt install windows from a usb stick(on my other pc it works so usb ist broken) i even tried a new usb installer and it didnt work. I tried installing windows from my other pc on the hard drive and than plugging it into the other pc but that didnt work. I succesfully installled it but when i start the pc it just goes to a black screen with a blinking white bar. I did the boot sequence and everything

Recently, I have bought the EVGA CLC 120mm AIO Cooler in hopes of cooling my 1080Ti so there would be more drops in the cards Mhz as well as being quiet. Even though it EVGA CLC 120mm Aio is not listed as compatible with the Kraken G12 mounting kit, It was the only one up on amazon and I coudln't wait any longer for the Corsair H55 to go back in stock, so I just went with it. I got the AIO, installed it on my card while also putting aluminum and copper heatsinks on the VRM/VRAM. I booted up and temps were sort of normal, could idle anywhere between 28-35c when it was downclocked to 600mhz. I booted up Heaven 4.0 to compare my results with another person who had the same setup (in reference to GPU, Hose orientation, and radiator placement, and airflow) but with the H55, a 120mm aio just like the evga clc 120. When the test was done I was completely unsatisfied and disappointed. He somehow got a max temp of 48c to his card when the benchmark was complete, while I got a max of 66c, people may be happy with a temp like that but im not, i should be getting the same temp and same performance as him with an 120mm AIO. But thats not it, he even outperformed me by 100 points at the benchmark at a higher clock. Do you know the entire system he was using and exact card? His exact card was the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition 11GB GDDR5X 23.21.13.8831 (The exact same card as mine) and was using the i7 8700k at 3.7GHz while I have a i7 7700k at 4.2GHz, but still, that does not explain a 20c difference in the gpu and performance. His platform was Windows NT 6.2 (build 9200) 64 bit. Did he use the standard test or change some settings? He did not change any setting, his settings are the exact same as mine Render: Direct3D11 Mode: 1600x900 8xAA Windowed Preset: Extreme What drivers was he on? Ive seen scores change just from newer drivers. If he is able to install something as complicated as a kraken g12 and an AIO on a 1080TI, he obviously keeps his drivers to date. His review was posted on September 2018, I looked up nvidia game ready drivers from that timeslot and found a Geforce Game Ready Driver that released Sept, 10th 2018, which was the latest one before Sept 16th, so it is very safe to assume he was using that Driver. https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/137727/en-us What room temps/case temps did he have? My ambient temp is 23c in my room, Its hard to believe that his can make a 20c difference even if his ambient is 10c less then me. https://prnt.sc/sqdm7q This is the benchmark with NVIDIA driver 445.87 https://prnt.sc/sqdmxd The "latest" driver 446.14 https://prnt.sc/sqdmhq The amazon reviewers score https://prnt.sc/sqdmrs my score with Sept 10th, 2018 driver 399.24 As you can see, this still does not solve my problem, even though i got a higher score than the reviewer by 41 points. My 1080ti still got up to 66C!!! And his is still 48c, I know i installed everything correctly, from applying thermal paste to screwing in the radiator. I used Noctua's NT-H1 Thermal paste and applied it correctly. But I am not using only ONE persons temps and comparing it to mine, here is a couple excerpts from Amazon reviews from people using the H55 and 1080ti together... "My 1080 TI now sits at idle of 19C in a 72F Ambient Temp room. when I game it never goes over 54C, seriously!!! I even added 125Mhz to the clock to bump it up to 2025Mhz, still it runs 54C, and my FPS stays much more consistent while gaming" "Installed this on a PNY GTX 1080ti (Blower edition) paired with a Corsair H55 in a push/pull config. Running it under full load and it so far hasn't even gotten beyond 45c. " "So I was overclocking my Zotac 1080 ti Amp Edtion and was watching the temps hitting 80+ C on the GPU...Since the installation I haven't seen the GPU get any hotter than 47 degrees no matter what I do!" "it went from the hight 80s C down to 48 C, almost 40 C degree difference. wow i was super happy. i used a corsair h55 with the g12 and they pair up good. " " MSI 1080 Ti Aero here. Silent with no load but becomes a Husquarna leaf blower during gaming. Had to summon the Kraken. In the pictures you will observe heatsinks, GPU PWM adapter cable and Corsair H55. Before: 29C idle, gaming delved into 80s (Anno 1800 in 4K), high 60s and mid-70s (GW2 in 4K) - all settings maxed. After: 24C idle, gaming 50C and 40C max respectively for the above. And this is on stock H55 fan (low RPM non-PWM). " If someone could try to share their mind with this, that would be great. But the only thing I can conclude with this is that the EVGA CLC 120mm AIO is just not right for the 1080ti GPU dye, and is therefore not going to get as good as temps as the H55, an AIO that was designed for the Kraken G12 and works well with the GTX 1080Ti dye. If someone would like to state a different answer, be my guest

Hope some one can help, I have a X3440 @ 4 ghz, H55 motherboard, 8GB ram and the PC is running like an AMD laptop (just a joke) . Utilization is about 3-5%. Chip set has been reinstalled and it takes ages to open any programs it is impossibly slow Any Ideas guys? I should say that it runs at 100% using aida64 but but not in any other programs, it took 10 minutes to unzip a small file.

Hi everyone, I have finished building my rig with the specs below: CPU: Xeon x3430 RAM: 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3-1333 Mobo: GA-P55-UD3L PSU: Deepcool DE-480 VGA: Gigabyte GTX 950 It booted absolutely fine to BIOS yesterday, everything was working but i didn't have the hard drive for it yet so I shut it down and left it overnight. Today, i plugged an USB with Windows in, pressed the power button and lights were up for about 500ms and shutdown, 3s later it did the same thing. I tried plugging each stick of RAM at a time, clear CMOS by pulling the battery out, pulled every cable out except 24-pin and 4-pin connector but the issue remains. I'm thinking it's because of bad PSU, i will grab a new one soon but mean while any suggestions to diagnose this please? Update #1: Tried the PSU with another rig and it is working normally, probably not the PSU Update #2: When I hold reset switch when it boots, it stays up for 3-5s, instead of 0.5s

i dont really know much about the older stuff so im asking here, can i overclock a I5 760 on a H55 motherboard? a P55 motherboard is waaay to expensive for my budget currently and i want to overclock for extra preformance but i dont know if a H55 motherboard can do that, because you cant overclock on a H97 board for example(as far as i know) but i cant afford a P55 motherboard so im not sure what to get, there are some pretty ok gigabyte H55s on ebay that i could get but anything thats P55 is over my budget becasue shipping is so expensive(im looking on ebay btw) thanks for any replies and any help

Im getting a I5 760 for my LAN pc and looking around on ebay for motherboards all i can afford is a H55 one if i want something thats not Dell or unbranded. there are some Ok Gigabyte ones and some ASRock ones i can afford but there all H55 instead of P55 and i dont know if i can overclock on them because im pretty sure a H97(for example) board cant overclock but a Z97 can. im not too familiar with older hardware so i need some help here, thanks for any replies and any help here

A few questions from a first-timer: What goes in the CPU fan header, pump or fan? What speed should the pump be run at? I assume 100% all the time, just asking to be sure. What is a good fan curve for the radiator fan? Any thing else I should look out for? I am using a Corsair H55 with an i7 2700K in an Asus Sabertooth Z77 motherboard.

I built my first rig a couple months ago and installed a Cooler Master Hyper 212EVO. The fan rattled a lot and made me nuts, so I've switched to a closed-loop liquid cooler: the Corsair H55. I don't do any gaming, but I do render edited video, which takes up 100% of my CPU (an eight-core AMD FX-9590 [4.7 Ghz]) for about 20 minutes. (I don't overclock at all.) With the old 212, I never saw my CPU temperature get higher than 71° C, and they cooled off very quickly. Now with the H55 loop, SpeedFan reports a CPU temperature of < 103° C. 'How has my CPU not melted?' I asked myself, so I reseated the pump with Arctic Silver 5 paste (spreading it evenly with a card) rather than the stuff that came with the H55. And still, I'm seeing SpeedFan report over 100°. This is corroborated with the ASRock Extreme Tuning Utility (I have an ASRock 990FX Extreme9 board). But Core Temp and Speccy report the individual core temperatures as much, much lower. So my question is: what gives? Is my CPU really running at 104° C? How has it not called all the boys to the yard because it's so hot? And how on earth does a liquid cooler (albeit a 120 mm) run so much hotter than the heatsink? Is the 212EVO just that awesome (despite its fan)?

I have a Corsair H55 57 CFM liquid CPU Cooler and an intel 5820k non over clocked CPU running at 38 degrees Celsius in windows idle. When under image rendering specifically rendering 3d CAD images and a CPU usage of 100% the CPU is running at 74 degrees Celsius. Is this normal for the H55 or did I apply the thermal compound wrong? Should I have bought a more beefier cooler?

Hi, i have just installed cinebench and when i open it up, it says the following: Processor: AMD FX-8320 Eight Core Processor Cores x GHz: 4 cores, 8 threads OS: Windows 7,64 bit,.... CB Version: 64 bit GFX Board: GeForce GTX 760/PCIe/SSE2 I thought the 8320 was an 8 core CPU, not a 4 core?? Can someone help me out?

I am planning a very low profile pc build and am looking for a cpu cooling loop where the actual block is very short (preferably less than an inch). I have been looking at the corsair h55 or h60 but I don't know which one is shorter? Or are there other of this type of pump block that would be shorter? Thanks

Hello there. I own a corsair h55 for my cpu, a few days ago, i changed from AMD to Intel (lga 1150 socket) there were some really hard to remove plastic things (i think they are called threads, not 100% sure though) and they were damaged while we tried to remove them. Also, im looking for those "fat" and strong stickers that are used for the mount on the back side of the motherboard (i dont know how they are called either, they are 2 fat black things with some strong glue) anyway, what im looking for is exactly what there is in this picture + those 2 things with the glue: found this one actually but i'm kinda confused if it is what im looking for or not: http://www.corsair.com/en/hydro-series-retention-bracket-kit-for-hydro-series-h40-h50-and-h70-rev-2 i own an msi z87-g43 mobo and an i5 4690k (thats lga 1150)

I'm going to put an H55 on my GPU, is the stock paste conductive or would it be fine to put on a GPU? I couldn't really find any info about the paste that comes preapplied.

Ok here's my situation. Currently i am cooling my fx 6300 with a corsair h55, and I am planning to upgrade my cooler to the Swiftech H220x (want the the H240x but it doesnt seem like theyre ever going to restock the damn thing) My gpu is the gtx 660 ti by pny. I was thinking about upgrading to the 960 when it comes out, but i really dont do that much heavy gaming. ( mostly work with FL Studio and play skyrim to calm down when my brain hurts.) That being said i am considering getting the kraken g10 to hook up my h55 to the 660 ti. Is this a smart move? Hoping it will quiet this cards blower fan and maybe get a decent overclock out of it. I appreciate your time and any help.

I'm planning to get a Corsair H55 to install in Corsair 250D case, but 1. I don't like the included 3 pins fan, so I'll throw it away and install Coolermaster Jetflo 120 instead. Does this fan compatible with H55 screw? 2. I don't like the way Corsair recommended to install the fan as intake. I just want to install it as an exhaust like what everyone else do, in push configuration. BUT from what I know Corsair doesn't provide the short screw to mount the radiator to the case. So what kind of screw is compatible? The 250D provided some short 6-32 and M3 (Not sure, I guess), not sure if it fits. Thx for reply
