CoolIT VANTAGE A.L.C. cpu cooler
Corsair H60 Hydro Series
Antec Kuhler H2O 620

Thanks!:)

It's either the Antec or the Corsair. The 620 is (very) slightly better than the H60, but the H60 is easier to setup.

The 120mm fan I already have, should I put that in the front of the case or put it on the radiator?
I think I'll go for the Antec, looks like it has the best noise, perfomance, price ratio:)

if it could put it both
on the radiator to eliminate processor heat and the front to give your hardware (like RAM, mosfet etc) more airflow :toast:

Ok, bought the Corsair H80 instead:) cant fit it properly in my case so im getting an Antec 900 from a buddy.
Very happy with it so far, very quiet and 29c idle with small OC.
The fans are extremely noisy at startup, but i can live with that :toast:
