Just looking at this on YouTube,Apparently its very good for a noob like myself that doesn't know anything about watercooling and is easy to set up! :D

Whats good about it is...it supports LGA775, LGA1366, LGA1156, AM2/AM3 so its good to go if i upgrade in the future...and has 2 years warrenty!

What i wanted to know though.....will its performance deteriorate after a certain amount of time?.....what about the stuff inside the cooler?
 
but thats the whole thing with a custom setup bomber.....its very pricy!

i already have quite a good cooler,Asus Silent Knight II...but with that + 4 fans + gpu fan + power supply fan my system isnt as quiet as id like.

Better off investing in some silent fans then. If you look around the used market and piece together a watercooling system you can do it pretty reasonably priced.
 
I have the Corsair H50 right now on my i5. I run 30 degrees C. Took me a bit to install but it was worth it. I like it and I have no problems with it what so ever.

Water cooling isn't really quite, you have the pump and the radiator fans running at all times. If you want to make your computer more quiet get some quieter/better fans.

That's true. I replaced my Antec fans with Cooler Master R-4's. I bought 4 for $15 and surprisingly they are really nice. :)
 
If you want performance without being very complicated, get a Venomous X with a couple UltraKazes or Cooler Master Excaliburs. (I'm doing the UKs once I get the moneys)
 
I've had one for about 3 or 4 months now and while it can be a pain to install I'm very happy with it. I added a second 120mm fan to the radiator for a push/pull configuration and have it pulling air out of the back instead of in from the back as the instructions stated. I also have it mounted outside of the case since it blocked half of the psu fan vent. I haven't had any problems with it and it keeps my 955BE @ 3640mhz and 1.42v @ 28C

Is this at idle or under a full prime 95 load? Under load that is cool...

Those definately arent load temps. You wont even get 30c load on the best watercooling system you can piece together(unless your running a chilled loop, but even then its pretty doubtful).
 
Id just love to see it myself....I know 2 buddies with I5 1156 and I7 920 and they are like 3-4c cooler then air after using it and both are 50c+ on load mind you both overclocked :P
I was tempted to buy it for my Q6600 to hit 3.6ghz (cheaply)

My temps are
Idle 29c-34c and w/prime95 full load it sits around 56c
I can garantee you that you'll love this thing. Its VErY easy to install! Idk where people get that idea. I had more problems with the stock intel hsf! Mainly because I don't read instructions...lol.
But yes you should get the H50. My temps on my i5 are 29 to 36 idle and I havnt seen it go over 61 with full load via Prime95.
I'm glad I didn't listen to the critical opinions on this purchase. I wonder if the people doggin the H50 have had one because if they did they'd know better. also, its not loud at all in my antec 300. I have it with push pull with air coming into the back of the case. So, I have a fan on top for exaust and the rear intake.
Can't beat it with 2 year warranty
