Cons: -bring a ton of patience when you install this puppy. I have installed the H50 a handful of times and it was a breeze. The h20 620, not so much. The clips on the seating ring would not stay put so it caused all sorts of problems lifting the ring high enough to get the pump underneath it. Finally, I just had to place it down like I would any other system by fastening it down intact---Put some unwanted pressure on the mobo but finally got it done.
Pros: -cost-doesn't compete for space with tall, ram heatsink fins-keeps overclocked cpu temps well within acceptable ramge (32-55 degrees) |

Cons: None
Pros: Quiet, great airflow Comment:
I really like this, it's my very first water cooling CPU unit. The fan is quite large and produces an excellent air flow and it's also very modestly priced, which is always nice. It keeps my rig between 27-31 degree celsius |

Cons: - none (at least for me)
Pros: - price- easy install- reasonably quiet (relatively and subjectively speaking) Comment:
Certainly much cooler than many stock air/fan coolers. Appears to provide more consistent cooling (my slightly OC'd CPU reports cooler temps and I've had no stability issues, which I had before, since installing this. |

Cons: Instructions aren't clear, very hard to understandDue to unclear instructions, what should've taken 10-20 minutes took around an hour or more for unskilled personnel.
Pros: Keeps my cpu i7 around 35c,CheapNo maintenance Comment:
Overall, the cooler does it's job, a bit hard to install, and still has a tiny bit of noise, but what you see is what you get, This product is worth it's price. |

Cons: Mounting hardware and construction is very cheaply made.
Pros: Keeps CPU very cool for the price, which allows for a decent amount of overclocking. Comment:
I bought this cooler on sale for $35 so I could do some decent overclocking on my new i5-3570k. I was able to bump the speed up to 4.33GHz with the temperatures holding steady at 85 deg C after a few hours of Prime 95. My only gripe is that the mounting hardware is very cheaply made and I managed to strip the threads in the little aluminium inserts, so take my advice and FINGER-TIGHTEN ONLY!!! I guess I'm used to the good ol' days where heatsinks were held in place with so much force I'd slip when installing them and slice myself on the fins, but with this one you have to be very gentle. I can't complain too much though, because for $35 it performs exceptionally well while taking up a minimal amount of space. Overall, the Kuhler 620 is a great alternative to those giant obelisk air-cooling offerings, provided you get it on sale because frankly I don't see it being worth more than $50. |

Cons: Needed patience when installing. Inspect and clean the radiator regularly.
Pros: Quiet and effective. Comment:
Bought this to quiet a noisy gaming rig. Installing to an Intel 8400 was fiddly, but evidently worked. It runs very quietly. In fact, it's so quiet that when the radiator loads up with dust, you may not hear the change, so inspect and clean regularly. |

Cons: Installation
Pros: Very Quiet. 3570k idle 26C. Comment:
I bought this cooler to deal with my hot summer days. Last cooler I had (old build) overheated and flew right off the motherboard. Decided this time to try a little water cooling. Well it's not a full on water rig but it does work quite well cooling my system. 26C idle, and around 30C under load. This is winter and my room temp is around 20C. Sound: This is almost silent most of the time. Placed next to a regular desktop, you will have to look in the case to see if the Kuler is still running. It is really quiet. I have not really stressed this cooler as the fan never goes over 1400rpm. When it is working the fan becomes a little more audible, but the sound signature is a much lower frequency. I have the fan blowing out of the case so before the summer I will add another 120mm fan on the inside to increase cooling even further. Switching on any fan control to lower rpm caused the pump to make a static clicking sound which was a little more audible. I then just reset fan controls (on my motherboard) to normal and static sound went away. In other words don't run fan control software with this cooler. It will regulate itself. Installation: Got to lose a star here. I think half my build was spent with this cooler. Terrible to set up but maybe that's me. I have P8Z77 Vpro and the backplate doesn't line up right. This causes all kinds of troubles. Finally I had to hold the screws on the back plate from falling out, so do not install motherboard before you have installed cooler. Next came the problems of getting the cooler plate on the cpu. Was not easy at all. Oh and don't forget to get a magnifying glass to see the sockets indicated on the backplate.In the end after all I went through installing this thing I am totally impressed. I would recommed it to anyone who wants a silent cooler for effective heat reduction on a stock (like mine) or maybe slightly OC'd CPU. Maybe the install goes smoothly for you. Cheers! |

Cons: -The screws provided are almost not long enough to put 2x Fan (push/pull) on Corsair 650D case.
Pros: -Pretty quiet-Easy to install-Keeping my CPU cool while OCed Comment:
It took some time to install due to the screws not long enough for 2x fans on Corsair 650D case. It keeps my Core i5 3570k OCed at 4.2Ghz at around 39-32 degree. Overall it is a good product. |

Cons: -Extreme noise : You can really wander if it's not your old vacuum cleaner that is running (well, in fact it's more like the EVGA 560 SC GPU fan running a 90%, has a noise level, so very noticeable when listening to music. -No customer support: I contacted them a few times and had no answer from them
Pros: -Keep CPU cools Comment:
Honestly, it says that it has a intelligent fan controller and that normal operation should be quiet... That's a lie... At least on the one I got... The fan really does gets any louder when the computer is in full load then with in idle. It does a remarkable job, I hardly ever saw the CPU get over 31 degrees (i5-3570K), but the fan just seem to work in a "intelligent" 100% capacity, and that's just great to kill the quietness this fan should have.I thought at first it was actually normal for it to be so loud and just added a small fan voltage reducer when using the PC for none extensive works/gaming. But then I heard the same cooler in somebody else system, and it was very nice and quiet...So I considered that mine has a problem, so I contacted the manufacturer customer support, but to no avail, they don't answer any question/request sent to them... Great, three years warranty, it says, but the company doesn't even seem to have a customer support service, just a inbox that goes to the nether...Over all, even if the device cools very well, I wouldn't risk buy an other product has if you get something not working, you're stuck. |

Cons: -HORRENDOUS to install.-Instructions and documentation are horrifyingly un-helpful.-Needs a 120mm mounting area at the back of a case to fit (rather than an 80mm - so will not fit some older cases)Mounting brackets are not sized right:-Thumbscrews had to be screwed in ever-so-slightly diagonal -Metal inserts on the backplate were a pain to install - came out of the backplate while screwing the retention clip in.-Hoses are rather stiff.
Pros: -Price-Point as of Oct 2012 is very reasonable.-Dropped system temp in overclock by nearly 20 degrees.-Temperatures under load are very good, dropping 16 degrees from using an air cooling solution.-Already Sealed - No Coolant to add yourself.-Aesthetically pleasing graphic on water block-Actually quite quiet when compared to an air cooling solution.-Thick, durable hoses. Comment:
I'd still buy another one because it dropped the temperatures so far AND it's still not even on properly!Bottom line is this thing, given the instructions and design of the components is HORRENDOUS to install however it's a great cooler that really does lower the ambient idle temps and drastically reduces full load temps by at 15 degrees in my case.Recommended however you will need to look on the internet to figure out to install it.I am giving it 5-Stars for the "Product" because it's a good product. It's just that the documentation is utter failure. |

Cons: -vague install instructions
Pros: -price-easy install-works well Comment:
i bought it for first build to put on my core i3 2120 (cuz i read they get a bit on the toasty side).the instructions are very vague about where the mounting plate goes. and since they call it a mounting plate and not a back plate my noobiness was tryna slap it on the front Lol. once i figured out though that the mounting bracket/backplate went on the back it was smooth sailing.it keeps my core i3 below 40degrees even under gaming load(planetside 2 high settings). |

Cons: - assembly was needlessly involved for a 775 socket (eco cooler is a breeze in comparison to setup)
Pros: - It's quiet- very flexible hoses Comment:
I found this to be a bit of a headache in comparison to other all in one liquid cooling setups I've used in the past.I'm probably a bit biased because I am a bit under the weather but It's certainly not the most user friendly.At the end of it I'd say it's working just fine and doing it's job no sweat. I've become a fan of these liquid solutions because it makes the PC much quieter (ie. it uses a big 180mm fan instead of a smaller and higher rpm cpu fan to keep the cpu cool). |

Cons: poor instructions, non pwm fan
Pros: Price, does a good job of cooling Comment:
For folding at home my temps went from 52 Celsius to 39 Celsius. My Idle temps are in the high 20's, Can't wait to overclock. Have a 3570K cpu in a maximus gene V board all enclosed in a Antec mini p180 case.This is the worst set of directions I have ever used. It would have been better if the accessories were marked for the sockets types |

Cons: Rotten instructions
Pros: Does a decent job Comment:
Bought to cool i5-3570K. Instructions look good until you actually try to follow them. Set of LGA1155/56 screws are almost indistinguishable from those designed for LGA2011 - look at the pictures very carefully, would have been nice if they put a label on each bag.Radiator fan is designed to plug into power from the pump block. I plugged it into a spare mobo chassis fan header which seemed to improve performance at the expense of a little louder operation.Easy OC to 4.3 with load < 70C. Had it up to 4.6 but load temps ran in mid 80's, which I prefer to avoid. |

Pros: Great cooling, good price and very quiet Comment:
Great CPU heatsink helps cool my overclocked i5 3570k (4.5ghz) to 55c and it is very quiet! |
Other than the installation issues, it's a decent entry to water cooling.
