$29.99 and a $10 MIR.

I got the H100 refurbish from Tigerdirect about a month ago and it's been working OK so far. No problems with the rebate yet (haven't received it) except for me sending in the wrong paperwork.

That's really cheap for a decent (and very silent) cooler.

In for one here... I think the H60 is the one I have installed on my ESXi Server (used to be my main machine, though, until the CPU voltage started getting wonky - eventually I discovered that was caused by the Radeon 4890 video card, of all things)

Anyway, I love these coolers. I believe I was warned away from the H80 because of leaking issues, but the H60 was a lot more solid.

I'm in the process of building a new machine for my living room so we can play Steam games there. I'm going to use the LGA1156 MB that I **THOUGHT** was the problem with my CPU voltages (I replaced that Motherboard, then discovered the problem was in the GPU), just ordered another i7 860, and still needed another cooler. $30 is a great price for this - getting $10 back is even better.

I considered digging up the Hyper212 I have sitting around somewhere here, but this is a lot quieter and works great under loads.

That's super cheap, even for refurbished. In for one, thanks OP.

H60 is a good one. It's capable of push/pull too, you just need the right size screws from Lowe's. Corsair has a FAQ that lists the size you need.

would this be better than a 212+?

pretty damn hot.

Ordered 1 to be shipped even though I have a local TigerDirect store 1.4 miles away. :\

I found it did a better job of cooling my original i7 860 system better than the Hyper212 at loads.

Shows $39 after rebate for me now, still not bad deal.

Fry's have them for that price or cheaper. In store, don't know about online prices.
Also have H50, H60 and H80, and 100i. Bought a couple of 100i for $69.95 each but they rang up as $64.95 at checkout. They were listed as refurb but no evidence that they were not new. They obviously have not been installed and warranty card does not mention refurb warranty either. Pretty good prices.

I got my H60 yesterday. and the package isn't your typical refurb whitebox, but rather the retail box cello-wrapped and such, with a "Refurbished" sticker.

I suspect these were units that didn't pass QA because they had missing screws or a fan that didn't work properly. At the factory, they send them to another line and fix the issues, and once they pass, they get sent out.

It's not like these are used units that were returned, reboxed and sent back out.

I installed mine in the aforementioned i7 860 system, and it worked great, and is very quiet. The only downside is the case I was using (ThermalTake Bach HTPC case) is tight and I will be doing some hardcore mods to make everything work. All-in-all, I'm very happy this deal popped up when it did.
