You should have got one last week. On Epic Tuesday the H50 was only £39!!

The Antec is the best out of the three.

Im sure it was £34.99 or near as.

The Antec one it is then.

Will OcUK be having a sale or whatever on these soon? Wondering as a competitor has them for £44 inc. P&P.

Was going to buy one just for the sake of it at that price but got side tracked, would have got used at some point on a spare machine.

That makes it even worse that he missed it then.

Might wait till it's on sale again then. Thanks for all the info guys.

I'd seriously go for the H50. I've had mine for a few months now on my 1055T clocked @ 4Ghz and on idle i never break 40C and under load on games I never break 46C. Prime95 doesnt break 52C. Wonderfull piece of kit! =)

So it's basically out of the Corsair H50 and the Antec Kúhler H2O.

Need a poll to be honest.

I would say the H60 also. But Im bias cos I've just installed one!

What I liked about the H60 over the H50 is there is no 'twist and clamp' when installing the pump/heatsink over the CPU like on the H50. The H60 is square with a lower profile pump and just has 4 bolts holding it down for the Intel install, not sure about the AMD install, I think it just has different brackets. Install is easy and its really quiet.

Whats it like for overclocking? I wouldnt know as I havent overclocked yet.

The only con I can see at this time is the price is higher for the H60.

HTH's.

Agreed. H50 is still better than the H60 in my opinion though for only two reasons. One the price like you said for hardly any performance difference seeing as they both use the same radiator and secondly for the fact that the H60 has a flat cpu block (pump) so surely it would shift a bit less water but there's not that much difference tbh. Just get a H50

i went for the antec kuhler 620 over the h50 as it seems to have better cooling power between the h60 and h70 i didnt like the look of the plastic clamp bits on the coolit one
