What's the good? The bad? and has anyone had any notable experiences with one.

It's a good little cooler for water cooling GPU's on a dime. It's not very good for CPU stuff tho.

It's good for GPU use, but for CPU use the Hyper 212 EVO is cheaper and performs better

I own one, and the pump is really annoying if you don't turn the rpm down

How hard is that to do?

Hi !

 

I just installed a H55 today to replace my Cooler Master TX3 (92mm version of the Hyper 212).

The pump is supposed to run @ 100% all the time. With my installation, the pump is virtually noiseless !

There is a small vibration that all pump do that can probably be amplified with low quality case but that's all.

 

The Cooler Master is a very good cooler and the H55 is just a bit better temperature wise, -3'C. In the noise

department, the H55 is way more quiet that the CM it replaces. Probably very similar to any good 120mm 

fan running from 650 to 1200 RPM.

 

Anyway, english is not my first language and it's difficult for me to comment but take a look at those pics

if you want, it's an Intel Burn Test result with a G3258 @ 4.0GHz:

Provided you don't live where I do, and that your case has space for it.

Agreed. I'm sure it would fit in an S340, but it seems like it would be way more cramped than I'd like.

Awesome! Thanks a lot, that's very helpful.

At least get the h60 performs better and has the h80i block/pump I think

The H60 is too expensive. H55 would be temporary; I'm switching to custom to loop as soon as possible.
