Hi guys i would like to upgrade my stock cpu cooler.
on an i5 760

and i was wondering which of the 2 are better.

im eiether looking at.

CORSAIR H60
or
ANTEC H20 620

i know there both roughly around the same price but what 1 is better
as i cant make my mind up and reviews are saying both are good or 1 is better then the other?

Help is much appreciated thank you

what case do you have? you may find that you can get something thats quieter with better cooling for less money than the H50/khuler 620, because the all in one watercoolers are quite expensive for their performance.

however, if you plan to move the PC quite a bit, then the watercoolers are the way to go.

if you do hae to go for a water cooler, i would go for the antec 620, as it seems to be ever so slightly better in performance and noise:

corsair H60 benchmark
antec khuler 620 benchmark

however, if you arent planning on moving the computer around a lot, let us know what case you have, and what RAM you have, then i can recommend you an air cooler that is almost certainly better than both of those

in that case you will probably be better off with a decent air cooler instead.
for the same price as the antec 620 and the corsair H60 you can get a thermalright silver arrow, which, if it fits in your case, is a far better cooler than either of those watercooled options:

thermalright benchmark
its a touch quieter than the antec, while being 6C colder

however, i'm going to need to know what model thermaltake case you have before i suggest using it, because its quite big (163mm tall)
