It looks to be a Modular Power Unit,can't you just remove the unneeded cables?does your case have an area behind the motherboard mounting board to move all the cables to?

Well it took awhile for me to find the time to install my now old...lol H100 cooler. It turned out my fears of having to pull out the mobo completely because the access hole in the back of my Element V didn't line up to the MSI mobo was for not. It turned out that by taking out some of the mobo screws allowed me to push the mobo (not highly advised) and flex it to allow me to remove the H50's base and install the stock MSI AMD base and retention plate (H50 and the H100 not interchangeable ). So with out further a due I'm cooler by 2 degrees celsius while pushing 4.1Mhz vesus 4.0 before right out of the chute ! F'g fantastic product ! I'm 30.2 c ambient currently with the cpu at 40c.
JM 4X4,
I'm letting the TP settle in then I will begin my OC push. But I'm very pleased with the performance to cost and as I can use the H50 in my second system and then sell my Zalman air cooler on the cheap it was a good upgrade. This all being said does this compete with a real water system........I fear it can't but if your case has the space for it it's a great performance to cost upgrade IMHO! You just can't beat a sealed system for convenience.
alright folks
@linnemeyerhere looks nice fairplay!
bit of a coinsidence. ive not long finished installin my h50.
well happy. b4 with an arctic freezer pro 7 rev2 temps were
idle=39-43c
load=52-55c
h50 with 1 stock fan blowing from inside through rad n out
idle=30-33c
load=40-42c
i was gonna go for a push pull. no need. now i can oc my cpu at some point
sorry about the pic quality. taken with my phone
@paulpicks21, Cheers my friend this system is amazing for me. There are much faster and crazier rigs but for what I'm doing I'm on the moon over the speed and stability on this relatively cheap rig. If you blink you've just opened Photoshop and missed it opening, open any program and flash it's there.
I could run it higher than my 24/7 OC now but I dont want anymore than that for a 24/7......but when playing with OC's when I hit 5.2ghz+ it gets a little too hot to really see if I could get stable that high. I dont know if I could get higher than the 5.5ghz, have not even tried at 5.6+ because I know I cant cool it enough with what I got.
I'm also amazed at this chip, want to push it but dont want to kill it! As it is one of the "Golden Ones". My luck I would kill it and get one that couldn't even hit my 24/7....lol
