Corsair H50 VS H55

Go to solution Solved by nsyedhasan,

I was wondering if the performance diff. was worth the few extra bucks.

I'd get the cheaper one.

 

Maybe. Or you could go overkill and put an H100i on it probably. :P

Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme is a better choice since it will actually fit and it will cool better.

Basically what's the difference between the Corsair H50 and the H55 AIO CPU coolers.

 

I'll be using it to mount to a R9 290 with the Kraken G10 from NZXT.

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

I'd go for the H55 because it is closer to the H60. If you can get either a Themaltake Water 2.0 Pro or NZXT Kraken X40/H90.

So it doesn't really matter.

Lol yea. I'm smarter than that!

Haha well no not really since I plan to upgrade to two 290's and two H100i's plus an h100i for the CPU(so 3 in total) wouldn't fit in the H440 haha
