Nice review overall, but the H50 is still the winner IMO.

Nice review, and nice to see the coolers tested in a closed system. Is the going to be standard for future reviews?

For water cooling reviews, yes. For air cooler reviews, no.

A) CoolIT does not recommend that setup in its installation procedure so we don't test it as such.

B) The second the air passes through the rad, it stops being "fresh".
