Overview:

 

Corsair H50

OCCT max temps: 76, 73, 72, 68

LinX max temps: 80, 77, 74, 72

Noctua NH-D14

OCCT max temps: 68, 66, 63, 62

LinX max temps: 72, 71, 67, 66

 

Ambient temperature: 67'F

 

Summary:

 

The Corsair H50's hottest temp was 80'C while the Noctua NH-D14's hottest temp was 72'C. In all of my stress testing (Intel Burn Test, OCCT, LinX and Prime95) my LinX temps are always the highest, therefore I think that it is the best to point out while testing. Furthermore, the Corsair H-50 is a solid cooler and definitely a space saver, but it did not provide results as good as the Noctua NH-D14.

 

So...

 

There you have it...the Noctua NH-D14 is our winner!!

Hello,

 

Very nice thread ... If you are willing to do it, I will suggest a test with the Corsair H50 in push / pull configuration as an exhaust in the case.

 

In my personal experience temps dropped dramatically after switching the Corsair suggested intake configuration.
