Seventh_Sliver Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 (edited) So, reading about the new Antec Kuhler H2O 620 liquid cooling system, a partnership between Antec and Asetek, I wonder if anyone has seen any comparisons between it and the recently released Corsair H60? Looking at reviews, it seems that the H60 is about 2-3 degrees warmer than the H70, putting it right above the H50. According to Legit Reviews, the Kuhler 620 is only about 2 degrees warmer as well. Which will be the better choice for my new m-ITX build? Check out the Legit Reviews assessment of the Kuhler 620. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1580/1/ [H]areOCP says it a bit differently... http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/03/10/antec_khler_h2o_620_cpu_water_cooler_review What does OCC think?

Black64 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I think most of the members on OCC with a closed loop WC mostly use Corsair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuclear Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 I've never been a fan of those types of water cooling systems. They really lock down what you can and can't upgrade, plus the performance just doesn't justify the price. The Antec kit is around $85 shipped and like I mentioned before...it doesn't allow for a myriad of upgrades. For an extra $45 to $50 you can purchase a full water kit with a 240MM radiator that has limitless upgrade potential and much better performance. Full water kits are not hard to install and contrary to popular belief, are not leaking time bombs. I would save my money for a little while longer and purchase a worth while full water kit that gives you room to grow as you do and can be upgraded as you do. One of my systems is running water cooling gear I purchased almost 7 years ago and has been through countless upgrades and its still capable of cooling anything I throw at it.

So, you are saying about $135 bucks and I can have a full water kit? Examples? Whenever I tried pricing anything out, it always ran upwards of $200... The only other thing I can think of is since I am planning on going to a m-ITX case for my next build, I might be limited on choices.

Speedway Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Yea Nuc has a great point here! Here is a link to the 240mm XSPC kit. That kit is a great value at $128, which is not much more than the self-comtained WC units you mentioned! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
