This is likely the biggest reason for the low number of reviews. Overall Review: This item was improperly categorized under the normal air-cooling fans and heatsinks until very recently. Unless you can find a creative way to mount this so the mosfet can breathe or introduce supplemental mosfet cooling, this may not be the best option for you. The H70 radiator (sandwiched between two fans) will be mounted to the rear of the case, which probably places the assembly directly over the mosfet chipset. They get HOT, especially when overclocking. If you're a first gen Intel i7 9xx (1366/X58) owner, be sure to take your mosfet cooling situation into account. ***X58 OWNERS, READ THIS BEFORE BUYING*** The coolant hoses come securely pre-attached, which took away some of the worry of the dreaded coolant leak situation.Ĭons: It isn't Corsair Link-ready like the H60 and H80, but I'm not sure I care. Will need further testing to determine whether the fan speed values are averaged, if it only takes the speed of one fan, or perhaps something else entirely. It includes a Y-adapter that merges both 120mm fan sensor wires into one for connecting to the mobo's CPU fan port. The old stuff wiped off easily, leaving a clean copper surface. However, if you prefer electrically non-conductive compound or something, you can replace it. It includes pre-applied thermal compound, which is more than sufficient. The included instruction booklet has some decent illustrations of the assembly.

Just be sure to install the processor BEFORE you install the round mounting bracket. you like quiet fans or blue LED fans or Delta fans or whatever). Pros: Corsair made the H70 model specifically for people (like me) who wanted to select their own fans (i.e.
i already had the tools to get the job done.

To be able to fit the h70 using a dual fan configuration I had to saw off the used fan clip again but off the new fan so that it would not press against the casing of the side panel fan.ĭidn't bother me much or enough to call that a con or reduce an egg, i was kind of expecting it since my last cooler install required me to mod the fan. Overall Review: side panel fan in my antec 900 required modding back when i installed my zalman 135mm cooler.i mounted side panel fan as exhaust and had to use a hack saw to remove the other unused fan clip. Idle temps are around 35c using arctic silver with i7 860 (i removed pre applied stuff).i expected a little more of a drop than i got compared to the zalman (about a 5 degree drop) but it still keeps my cpu cool so im not complaining.ĭuring prime 95 for 30 minutes cpu rose to 57c and stayed there.ĭuring hours of BF3 cpu hovers around ~48cĬons: none.the cooler feels quality made, seals are all legit and look and feel strong. i installed in antec 900 on rear 120mm exhaust fan (so im running as exhaust out of case)with another 120mm blue fan to match my other 5 fans (6 total now).Ĭase fans did required modding though see other thoughts. Installation was a breeze.way easier than my zalman cnps9900max which this replaced. Would there be another Air Cooler like the Noctua NH-D14 that would perform much better than the Megahalems? Looking for a 4.2 - 4.4Ghz OC.Pros: So far so good and I only say that because there is liquid cooling in my system now :) Voltage for OC is 1.26V in Bios and OC was at 4.2Ghz. I also tried LinX and that got up to 90 so I stopped it once it hit 90. Not sure if that is too high for the Megahalems or not. I overclocked my Xeon W3520 (i7 920) a bit more the other day as Winter temps are a bit lower, but when running Prime 95 temps were getting to about 85 degrees celsius. "Anyone using a Prolimatech Megahalems on an i7 920 or similar X58 45nm CPU? I posted this on another forum, but I might as well post it here too.
What temps where you getting with your Megahalems? Where you using the Megahalems on that rig in your sig? Temps are about the same as the stock fans on full, but much easier on my ears. I'm using 2 gentle typhoon 1450 fans at 1000rpm.

The stock fans are loud as hell at full rpms. It cools pretty good, but not a lot better than the megahalems I was using before.
