Antec Intros Kuhler H2O Series 4 CPU Coolers

Antec introduced V4 series design updates for its Kuhler H2O 620 and H2O 920 closed-loop CPU coolers. The new coolers are outfitted with a higher-pressure pump, and split-flow copper fin design in the radiators. The company claims the two innovations work to drop temperatures down a further 2-4°C, over temperatures previous versions achieve. Lastly, the coolers are labeled with guaranteed support for current and upcoming CPU socket types, including LGA2011, LGA115x, LGA775, FM2/FM1, and AM3+/AM3/AM2+. Prices remain unchanged.

Funny, my H80 looks just like that, only the fans are terribly loud and the piping is more rigid. I suppose this would look more like a H80i now?

Do yourself a favor. Buy an XSPC Raystorm kit instead. You'll thank me when you do.

When do the thanks come, when it leaks or when I realize I just spent more money to get the same performance?

Not everyone has the room or the money to spend on a full watercooling. This is just a simple alternative to air cooling.

I cant imagine it to be much better than the H100...and its the same price.

The ONLY reason I would do that over H100 is because it is upgrade-able.

I have the 620, Extremely happy with it.. let's me overclock my Phenom 955 to 3.8 no sweat, and this is during Australian summer, so yeah, it is quite effective.

Does this mean the entire loop is all copper now, or is the radiator still using aluminum tubes?

uhhhhhhhhh?????

A, if your custom loop leaks you did it wrong, it's pretty hard to mess up honestly. secondly the raystorm is a DAMN fine block that will outperform a closed loop hands down by many degrees C
