Antec Kuhler H2O 1250 Liquid CPU Cooling System LGA775/1155/1156/1366 AM2/AM3/AM3/FM1 + 2000RPM

Comment:
very good cooling capacity. Easy to install compact design.dual pumps mounted to centre fan hubs.

for the price of 60 hell yea its a bargain for liquid cooler with such big radiators.cooling wise? maybe I'm biased but it has its limitations for cooling somethn like a 4.2ghz OC'd haswell chip as max temp kept climbing up to range of 80-90. not much improvement from Hyper evo 212. somthn that you want but not necessarily need. perfectly seated at IHS, the coolant only reaches 33 degrees ish when cpu is 80 degrees, so theres gotta be heat conducting problem in the copper plate part.

Got this for $59.99 during the Black Friday week of sales. Decent cooler, but not for silent PC enthusiasts - you would do much better with an air cooler or custom liquid cooling given the regular price (>$100) relative to this unit's noise levels.It remains to be seen how long these fans will last. Keep in mind that they can't be replaced, and given my previous experience with the last generation of Kuhlers, the Antec RMA process is a joke. I bought this only because of the great sale price and because I was sick of waiting any longer for my previous RMA - more than 6 months for my replacement Kuhler 950 due to a faulty 920. Initially, I was offered a refurbished 620 instead of waiting... (Wow! What a sweet deal!)I never understood the reasoning behind non-replaceable fans, which was touted by Antec as a means for better temperature-to-pump-speed synchronization. Could PWM fans not have been plugged into a normal 4 pin socket(s) with well calibrated temperature sensors? The proprietary design, which seems to have little or no effect on real-world performance given my initial tests, comes at the cost of a completely useless cooler once the bearings on the fans becomes noisey.
