Corsair H70 Opinions

I'm about to buy a Corsair H70 CPU cooler but i want to know how good it is. What other heatsinks does it compare to.

I won the auction on ebay for the H70, it pretty much cost me about 40$ or so, it also came with a free Hyper 212+. The H70 is better than the 212+ right?

And i just want to know if its a good heatsink and if i got a good deal. Thanks.

One last thing, it comes with 2 fans, how do i set up this push pull thing. I'm a bit confused on how to do it.

Do i have one fan that's putting air through the radiator and then another fan pulling out the air from the radiator into the case or....?

This will help and yeah it cools just fine!

$40 for an H70 is a good deal for that product- it's going for $70 after MIR on newegg atm. The H coolers aren't insanely effective, but they're equivalent to a good air cooler (though a bit pricier if you pay msrp).

I wouldn't worry too much about the push/pull install. There should be detailed install instructions. If for some reason it comes from the ebay seller without them, I'd go to the corsair website and download them from support. Either way installation should be a breeze. Here's a cheesy beltzy diagram to show the idea:


<=air<=[fan venting out back or top of case]<=[radiator]<=[fan]<=[inside of your case]

One fan pushes air through the radiator (from the inside of your case and out the back). The other fan on the opposite side of the radiator is pulling the air through .
