Antec KÜHLER H2O 620 Liquid CPU Cooler | Overclocked Edition

[MrAcme15]

yes buy this if you want a loud horrible watercooling kit with a loud fan, that makes extremely loud pump noise (like an old fridge) and is outperformed by comparible air coolers. Also the threads are worn out, there are no extra screws for a second fan etc etc etc

[Humanerror84]

holly shit the fan is so loud.

[KingSushiz]

I havent watched any video like this, and I just realized that my radiator is upsidedown

[AsetekInc]

@KingSushiz That should be fine. You shouldn't see a performance difference.

[KingSushiz]

@AsetekInc I turned it around the right way and it actully started sounding.(before it was quiet) so I will probably just turn it around again

[Thx1138sober]

I've had one for about 9 months now on a x4 965, OC to 38.5GHz Prime 95 for 8hrs and temps never got over 41C. In normal operation, room temp 72F, idle Temps 29C load Temps 36C. The pump made noise for about the first 20 seconds when first installed and has been dead quiet since. Using single pull fan. So far, I have never been able to get the unit warm enough for the fan to kick into the higher speeds. Install is easy if you have case with access to rear of MB otherwise you'll have to remove MB

[saymore183]

35 db far no quet

[scar1343]

mines only 3 days old and the pump is making noise already. iv tried mounting it in different ways trying to get air bubbles out and nothing had worked.

[AsetekInc]

@scar1343 Contact VIP@antec.com for support of this issue. Thanks,

[sveindo]

@scar1343

Mine too search "antec h2o noise fix"

[scar1343]

@sveindo I returned it and got a corsair h70. its alot better. antec watercooling systems have too many problems and have poor installation instructions.

[Q3ToPBuZz]

I have one on my 1055t @ 4Ghz,

3 hours of prime95 at 18C room temp shows all 6 cores at 45C.

I tried all configurations,it works best sucking into the case, but to do this you need a good roof fan in your case to prevent high case temps.Also you need to turn Q-fan control off in your BIOS so that the unit runs at full speed and isnt adjusted by the m/board.The unit itself adjusts the fan speed.Your BIOS shows the pump speed, not the fan speed.Thats why this demo uses a seperate tacho on the fan.

[castlevous]

what's your VGA?

do you tested your cpu in normal frequence? whats temps?

[KillTheCreeper]

@castlevous I think its a GTX 480

[Igorsov]

Is the liquid system completely made by Asetek?

[AsetekInc]

@Igorsov Yes, we (Asetek) make the Antec KÜHLER H2O 620.

[damarh]

i got one today and just wow :D i have an amd x6 and it had the stock cooler on it and it was loud as hell! installed the "kuhler", first run i heard some water splurging and then only a negligible humming/buzzing kind of sound :D. but when you consider me typing on my keyboard making more noise it''s OK.

btw i noticed you have the fan on the inside, is't it suppose to the between the radiator and the case ? like in the installation video ? the manual wasn't very helpful with installation.

[AsetekInc]

@damarh Glad you like it! The fan can go on either side.

[truebassB]

This is the biggest rip off you can get for a cpu cooler,along with the other stand alone watercoolings,because even a cheap air cooler will turn your cpu into ice compared to this.

Better leave the stock air cooler or get a custom watercooling setup.

[damarh]

@truebassB dude he is stressing the cpu with prime95, do you know what that does to the cpu temp ?

[truebassB]

@damarh Whatever everything that throws the CPU Load to 100% does,but that's not the point,i talked generally and not according the temps in this video.

Try check reviews,it's about the same as a good Air Cooler at that price with 120mm fan,also some reviews shown it having around 3-4c more than an Air Cooler,and that to get midrange performance and increased possibility to damage your hardware with leaky pipes.

[Igorsov]

@truebassB $50 for Antec H20 620, come on man you can't beat that. I got 1 for $58 from newegg.com but haven't installed it yet. People were using Liquid Cooling Systems for ages so I think you should be pretty safe as long as you don't do any damage to the tubes your self.

[Igorsov]

@truebassB I'm not an expert or anything like that but all boutique companies like Falcon-Northwest etc use liquid cooling systems, so I guess they do it for a reason.

[truebassB]

@Igorsov Liquid cooling is the best method for cooling components,regardless if they are pc components,heavy duty machinery,car engines,etc,i was pointing my concerns to the entry level water cooling systems.

[erickrayos]

wth is that button like thing on the cpu block for?

[erickrayos]

I got this today, I had hyper 212Plus before hand, my temp was 37/49 (idle/load) stock clock, and overclocked from 2.8 to 3.5 temps are 44/55, it wasn't bad at all with the hyper 212+ but when I replaced it with this my stock clock temps are 33/41 and overclock temp is 36/45. pretty significant difference I guess eh?

[VolklFx]

I've read wonderful things about Corsair's Hydro system warranty where they would replace people's damaged PC parts due to a leak from one of their Hydro systems. If such a leak were to happen with an Antec Kuhler 620, how does Antec handle warranties?

[AsetekInc]

@VolklFx Please contact Antec for that question. They can be reached at vip@antec.com

[lewisner]

I use a HAF 932 case and I have ordered one of these and am thinking about mounting it in the top with a 120 mm fan alongside it. would it be as efficient mounted that way?

[AsetekInc]

@lewisner Generally people mount them at the rear, but that should work too.

[ulfmusskacken]

looks like an corsair h70 cooler :P does it have the same performance or is it even better?

[AsetekInc]

@ulfmusskacken The 620 has a thinner radiator and just 1 fan instead of 2, but most reviews put them pretty close in performance.

[FrostlordTheWizard]

@ulfmusskacken It actually is more like a corsair h50. A competition to h70 would be Antec KÜHLER H2O 920 which has got thicker radiator and 2 fans.

[Dvizion08]

This Vs Noctua NH-D14?

[Yellonet]

You call 88ºC cool???

[BritishNathan]

@Yellonet i7 980x max temperature is 100ºC, so I call that cool

[MLF577]

Will this work on any PC or are there specific hardware requirements?

[hulusi2008]

what kind of mounting screw is used to affix the fan to the radiator, I want to do push and pull, but don't know what kind of screws to get (not the regular fan mounting screws) Thanks :)

[AsetekInc]

@hulusi2008 Your best bet is to bring one of the 4 longer screws to the hardware store and match them up with 4 of the same for the new fan.

[Militarwizard]

Can I put two fans on this?

[AsetekInc]

@Militarwizard Absolutely. That will give you a nice performance boost.

[TheNathlm]

@Asetekinc Will there be an LGA2011 bracket coming out for this?

If so, will it be sold seperately or be acquired through Antec?

[AsetekInc]

@TheNathlm Yes, there will be an LGA2011 bracket available, but we don't have all the details on that yet. Stay tuned to Asetek on facebook/twitter for more info.

[SMG59]

OMG 80 degrees? how?

[Trancevestite]

Ive put a push pull fan config on mine, My pc stays well under 99F on level 10 AMD Overdrive.BEST ITEM BOUGHT

[3dkiller]

lol bad temps..... 80 degrees fail.

[AsetekInc]

@3dkiller That temp was stable for us. You don't have to run the overclock so high if you aren't comfortable with that.

[AsetekInc]

@The1337pwnag3 Thanks for sharing!

[JJROADSTA]

Is the antec fan pulling air into the case?

[AsetekInc]

@JJROADSTA Intake is the recommended configuration for best CPU temperatures.

[clondan1]

what model are the stock fans on this? i will be buying one soon and am debating whether or not to upgrade the fans...will the software still control the fans if replace them? thanks

[AsetekInc]

@clondan1 You are more than welcome to upgrade the stock Antec fan.

[Comrade503Alias]

i feel if i bought this, if its as simple as it seems, i could kill the lag, running the cpu around 4.0ghz

[Comrade503Alias]

wheres the water? im new to this, please help me out :)), do you have to buy a special coolent liquid? dose it pull liquid out of the air..? dose it have a bucket of water next to it connected to tubes or somthing that help move cold air? i have a x6 phenxom ii and 5970 2gb, i feel my 2.80 gz processor is bottlenecking me in games, like mount and blade with 1000 fully rendered 3d troops maxed out with 1900x1200 rez, which would slow any computer, but the occasional choppy lag must be my cpu

[clondan1]

@Comrade503Alias its a sealed system....all the water comes pre-installed in it....zero maintenance on your part once its installed? ftw

[AsetekInc]

@Comrade503Alias Hey there. Check out our other video on "How Asetek Liquid Cooling Works" for more on our systems.

[franjul08]

Can i mount the radiator upside down i mean..with the hoses coming from the top?

Please Help Im getting one of these in 2 days!

[AsetekInc]

@franjul08 Sure, that works just fine.

[franjul08]

@AsetekInc Thank You So Much!!

[xxnorxx24]

What sad is Antec will not pay for you pc parts if it leak all over you gpu and cpu mother broad i call and ask if some thing happen they said no we dont pay for pc parts only pump sad go with corsair h-50 -60 -70 they will pay for you pc parts if get leak on it they tlod me yeah we pay for you parts if any leaks happen in gpu cpu broad ty

[JadleHF]

@xxnorxx24

Wait what? Sorry to break your little Corsair fanboyism, but Antec did pay my GPU, as my cooler leaked due to a production fault. They replaced both the Graphics card and the CPU cooler (as the CPU didn't get any harm, nor the motherboard).

[MMEVIDEOGAMING]

Can you attatch fans at both ends of the radiator simultaneously?

[AsetekInc]

@MMEVIDEOGAMING Sure, that is known as a push/pull setup and is a great way to boost performance.

[TheDarkHighlander]

will this fit into the Dark Fleet DF-85? If i remove one of the fans at the back im afraid it the second fan mightstop it from fitting.

[asus3571]

still considering one eventhough load temps were bad the main prob with these coolers is not enough flow res is too small install brackets need to be metal aswell as housing it is better than the h50 an 70 better overall temps cuz the mobo runs cooler than with corsairs

[dmullen1994]

@AsetekInc Yea i know that but can you answer my question above? I need to know witch one to get, even though im probably getting this because the noctua is big and ugly.

[AsetekInc]

@dmullen1994 Hey, if you are looking for best performance check out the brand new Antec KÜHLER H2O 920. We just put a video up!

[dmullen1994]

Do you think this has better performance then the noctua nhd14?

[Dannyboy1277]

Any chance thing would fit into a cooler master elite 341 case?

[AsetekInc]

@Dannyboy1277 I haven't had direct experience with that case, but it looks like it should work fine as it has a 120mm fan opening.

[oneflyline96]

@AsetekInc dude you do realise if im looking at your temp readings correctly that they are very high and its not good at all!

[AsetekInc]

@oneflyline96 Keep in mind this is an i980x (a hot CPU) overclocked to 4.2Ghz.

[oneflyline96]

@AsetekInc Yeah i understand, but temps that high will damage your cpu. My processer is a I5 760 2.8ghz

8mb cache and i have overclocked it to 3.8ghz with the Antec 620 that you are running in this video and i'm getting temps no higher than 32 degrees each core and that is when im running a demanding game. My mate has pretty much the same I7 cpu as you and his temps are only a bit higher than my temps. I don't know i just think that your temps are tad too high. Maybe get it checked thats all!

[DiabolicMeltdown]

Would you do a cable management guide ? I happen to have a DF-35 aswell.

[AsetekInc]

@DiabolicMeltdown Hey, you might want to ask Antec that question. We (Asetek) are the makers of the Antec KÜHLER H2O 620.

[DiabolicMeltdown]

@AsetekInc Oh, I just figured that you guys tested it in the case.

[DiabolicMeltdown]

Im getting this in the mail soon, is it worth it to upgrade the fan ?

[AsetekInc]

@DiabolicMeltdown I think it depends on your needs. The included fan is pretty good it its own right. Post back and let me know what you think after you get it installed.

[DiabolicMeltdown]

@AsetekInc I got it installed, temps are amazing, they dropped by about 15 degress from my old aftermarket cooler, but it is a bit noisy. Seeing as how Im cheap, I probably wont be upgrading the fan, since it does perfom quite well.

[AsetekInc]

@DiabolicMeltdown Thanks for sharing!

[DiabolicMeltdown]

@AsetekInc No problem, thanks for caring about what youre consurmers are saying ;)

[ATIHD5850]

Hi, Where can I download this desktop wallpaper Antec believe IT??

Tnx in advance!!!

[AsetekInc]

@ATIHD5850 Hey, it's on Antec.com under their wallpapers.

[peter5331]

I really got to get my hands on one these installed in my mini -atx rig a SilverStone SG 07 look like the best CPU cooling for me.

[AsetekInc]

@peter5331 Shoot me a photo on Facebook when you do!

[peter5331]

@AsetekInc Thanks for the reply..& sure will >> looks like I am going to mount the radiator just underneath the top 180mm intake fan, or something like that.

[peter5331]

@AsetekInc thanks Asetek ! this worked out really well and I gotta say the new flexible hoses are the key in my install in the Sileverstone SG07 & surprisingly it was the clearance and of optical plug and HD mount connectors but it works great ! gonna spoiled forever witth the cool and quiet and pis are already on you FB wall thanks again!

[PinoyGamers]

I want to buy one. But currently, there is no more stock.

:(

[trizanzor]

Are you guys going to make a 240mm rad for the cpu cooler?

[AsetekInc]

@trizanzor Check out the Asetek website and you will see the WaterChill 2011C that we are introducing later this year. Should be pretty sweet!

[trizanzor]

@AsetekInc Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to the Waterchill later this year. I just hope it will fit in my HP Blackbird 002 case.

[ExorcismSaw]

@AsetekInc Are any of Asetek's products available to the public hand without having to buy a minimum number of products?

Kind of wanted to build a little LAN party rig off of the NZXT Vulcan... and I saw that you made a 92mm watercooling setup like the Kuhler, but I don't know where to purchase one as a single. or maybe two. =/

[AsetekInc]

@ExorcismSaw Hey there. Shoot me a direct message and I might be able to help.

[adolf512]

from what i have understand the pump will be pretty quiet unless it starts to malfunction. i am pretty much into buying antec h20 620 + scythe gentle tycoon.

i prefer rubber tubes over the ones that h50/60/70 uses becuase of the flexibility and reduced risk of leakes.

i want a affordable cooler that fits into my chassi, is quiet and also do a good job cooling my phenom x4 c3 be at klockspeed under 4.6ghz

i think antec h20 620 + GT might be the best choice for me.

[AsetekInc]

@adolf512 I think that would be a great combo. Have you considered 2 GTs for push/pull?

[adolf512]

@AsetekInc i think 2 GTs would be overkill for the cpu i am using now(you usually wont be able to do more than about 4.3ghz 100% stable anyway). but i might upgrade later on.

i have read that you wont be able to have 2 fans with the screws included, is that correct?

[hsh24892]

hi asetekinc,

Can you please answer my questions?

Is this better than h70/h50?

in terms of performance vs noise level.

I have i5-750

[AsetekInc]

@hsh24892 Hey, there are some reviews out there on the web now and performance is generally better than the H50 and just shy of the H70. Check out tweaknews and tweaktown.

[PinoyGamers]

@hsh24892 It outpreforms the h50. But the h70 is a little better. But Of course this is more quieter than the h70 ;) 

[peter5331]

I would definitely check out the cooling performing as to whether I get better performance with either intake or exhaust.in my setup.

also curious if Asetek has a mini - version available for use in smaller cases.

[AsetekInc]

@peter5331 Thanks for the comment. We generally recommend exhaust for better overall system temperatures.

We do have the 545LC which is 92mm. For more detailed information, visit our website. Thanks!

[peter5331]

@AsetekInc Thanks exhaust would be my first choice & really appreciate sharing the model 545LC info.

[MegaHomer1984]

Hi Specification- Nzxt phantom-asus crosshair III-phenom II 965 3.4ghz-8gb ram corsair 1333- Msi 5850 1gb

I used now Kuhler 620. I changed my Cooler master v6gt . V6gt---> idle -31-32 degre Stress 55 degre. Antec kuhler 620 --idle 1 Fan ---> 28-30 degre ....you can instal extra Fan on the front Radiator i used original 120mm Nzxt fan idle 23 degre stress iam not tested yet this or next week. I do video for people to show my PC.

[savator408]

@peter5331 From what i read you get a little bit better temps if you have the fan intaking from the back instead of it intaking inside and blowing out. But your case temps inside are actually alot hotter so your components are hotter that's bcause your not exhausting enough hot air out of the case...This is what i read from the Corsair h70 review...So they actually prefer it to intake from the inside of the case and blow air out even though it runs 2c hotter...

[peter5331]

@savator408 thanks for the reply I have no problem using tools like Core Temp and stress the CPU with a burn in test like IntelyBurnIn & monitor temps ,also had hand on experience with Corsair push pulls & likely to exhaust air for positive air-flow with this particular case and situation that I am considering.

Thanks Asetek for your fine products and support !

[Celltypewhatkind]

lets see if its any better than Corsair's Hydro Series H50, hope it is alot less noise, i am thinking of buying Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator CPU Cooler

[AsetekInc]

@Celltypewhatkind Check out benchmarkreviews today. They have a review up and it looks good!

[TikiShootah]

erm..its another spin on the h50 ect coolers.. whats so special about it.

[AsetekInc]

@TikiShootah Thanks for the question. The 620 features the latest improvements from Asetek, including a new coldplate, easy-bend tubes, and liquid temperature controlled fans.

[MegaCheesemaster123]

When is this coming out? I plan on buying on.

[AsetekInc]

@MegaCheesemaster123 It is available for pre-order today from the Antec web store.

[manel0319]

why is this set to exhaust? it can get better temps if its set to intake,that way it get colder air from the outside of the case...

[AsetekInc]

@manel0319 Generally, exhaust is better for overall system temperatures while intake is better for CPU temperatures at the expense of the rest of the system.

[adolf512]

honestly i am more inte corsair h60 it will be quiter and cool better as well, i don´t want to exchange the fan.

[AsetekInc]

@adolf512 I am looking forward to testing the two myself to see how they compare.

[gerv55]

Since when was mid 80's cool? 

[AsetekInc]

@gerv55 Keep in mind that this is with a 4.2Ghz overclock at 100% load on one of the hottest chips on the market.

[gerv55]

@AsetekInc @AsetekInc Indeed but most people will want to run this cpu in the mid 70c range, a single 120mm rad simply isn't capable of that. This really looks like nothing more than a rebranded H70 with pwm controlled fans if im perfectly honest.

Increased liquid flow or a bigger radiator would have obvious benefits,

[AsetekInc]

@gerv55 I know Antec has some units going out to reviewers which should help put the 620 in context with the others.

[MrFYFI13]

Looks a lot promising!

[AsetekInc]

@MrFYFI13 Thanks!
