The following is a sample of the subject matter over at McT's.

Hey folks as some of you know I have had a Corsair H50 sitting here waiting to be tested since last January.

Why the long wait, well I have been using my Domino ALC from CoolIT Systems which has worked flawlessly for me with my i7 920 overclocked @ 4.0 GHz. I tried to do some testing with the Domino by adding a shroud but it did nothing to the cooling ability of the unit. I wanted to test the Domino in a Push / Pull configuration but the Domino cannot fit a second fan on the other side of the rad due to the control panel attached to the unit.

But the H50 will allow you to add fans to both sides of the rad so I thought it was time to test this unit out for myself.

I am running an i7 920 overclocked @ 4.0 GHz 24/7. The Domino ALC and the Corsair H50 had almost identical temps during my testing. Both units were configured as intake units using the stock fans that came with the units. The fans were attached to the back of the radiators and attached to the back of the computer case thus drawing cool ambient air into the rad from outside of the case.

If you plan a setup like this please be sure to have an additional fan somewhere in the case to exhaust warm air from the case. I use a CoolerMaster Storm Sniper case which has awesome airflow so intake and exhaust is not an issue with my case.
