This is the mounting ring, the one ring fits all sockets by sliding the lugs around the circumference.

IMG_4024_zps62a5d0cb.jpg~original


Then lock the lugs into position with these plastic bits.

These two brackets allow you to shift the position of the Kuhler radiator away from motherboard VRM heatsinks or any other obstruction at the top of a case.

IMG_4027_zpsca3e5ff6.jpg~original


They fit like so and you have a bit of adjustment due to the slotted holes.


The kuhler.

This is certainly different, the pumps are now part of the fan motors, there are two pumps and the coolant gores into one pump then out through one side of the radiator, up into another pump and then back out through the other side of the radiator and off to the CPU block.

This is one of the two fans, I wonder how much air flow is lost from the sides with there being no fan frame?

IMG_4032_zps889c8039.jpg~original


IMG_4053_zps93381227.jpg~original


Mostly black cables.

IMG_4055_zps7e567272.jpg~original


The Antec logo is illuminated via RGB

IMG_4054_zps209b37d3.jpg~original


Cold plate base comes with silver based thermal paster pre-applied.


Included software.

Included on the enclosed disk is Antec's new GRID software for easy control and logging of the Kuhler.

Very simple indeed.


Noise and LED illumination.

Below are two quick videos I have made showing the LED illumination and the fan noise from this Kuhler.

DVD-ROM, means you cant burn disks, a writer is a few £ more.

MSI have a special board+cooler deal at the moment - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-202-MS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=2261

So you are getting a newer chipset.

I had an Asrock board, It died not long after I sold it, their warranty is poor at only 2 years (the last year needs posting back to the Netherlands) MSI/Gigabyte have 3year warranties.

Will take a look into it Stu, thanks! :)

I always thought AsRock made some epic boards, is the warranty the only thing that lets them down?
