** NEW ANTEC AIO COOLERS **

[rjk]

Hi Guys

Antec came in a few weeks back with their new CPU coolers. The older generation of the Kuhler was a good performer but the pump being mounted on the fan was a design that, although brave was ultimately the biggest flaw as enthusiasts buying high performance coolers wanted to swap their stock fans out for performance fans.

This wasn't possible on the older design but it IS possible on the new Kuhlers from Antec.

The new Kuhler H600 and H1200 have undergone a total overhaul and have reverted to a more traditional AIO design. The big upgrades are based around the cold plate and the pump motor which is designed for silence. It also runs off a SATA power connector which will make cable management in nearly every case, much easier.

The tubes are the heavy duty style FEP that are the easiest to bend into tight spaces.

We have had a H1200 in the office for a few days and tested it with fantastic results. Whilst performance is on par with a lot of the other 240mm AIO coolers, the Kuhler was noticeably quieter than a lot of other AIO units we have tried out.

The price points of these new Kuhlers are what really sets them apart. The H600 is one of the most affordable 120mm AIOs right now and the H1200 comes in at the same price as 120mm coolers from other brands and previous Antec generations.

These are real standout products and we will have a H1200 to give away in a competition next week!

Let us know what you think!

from me, the h1200 performs pretty much the same as a h100i from corsair. there is literally nothing in it

the fans on the h1200 were quieter and the pump was quieter too [although this is comparing a brand new unit to an old h100i if that makes a difference]

the fact is, the performance was nigh on identical and the h100i was a £110 product when it was current.

for the money, they are bang on. they are made by asetek too which is very reassuring from a build quality point of view.


not sure if they are compatible with the corsair bracket. to my eye, it should fit. but i cannot confirm 100%

These are cheap. Why? is everything else over priced or are these just not as good.

The price is an eye catcher for sure.

they have gone for a price point and hit it.

the parts in them are as high quality as the other brands but...

antec have decided to not use any flashy lights or usb control software because, you dont really need it.

antec dont have a huge reputation in this market because corsair dominate it, so they have produced a product very similar to the corsair offerings for much less money to grab market share. for the end user, it is a win win situation.

While they look good it would be great if much thicker rads were used, 280mm and 60mm thick

it would obviously be better with a thicker rad, but then the price would go up too which would negate what they are trying to do.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro, so it should fit right in.

rjk, what's Antecs policy if the worst happens and it leaks?

~Its an Asetek built unit so will be full replacement of anything damaged. you need to remember that this is a fully sealed unit so the likelyhood of that happening is zero.

Antec have one of the best reputations with us in terms of return rate. just a shame their previous stuff never really sold well. This new model should change all that.

Unsure if I missed the punch line, but when are these coming in stock?

should be very soon, Ace Modder should be able to answer this.

 

[rjk]

If we have one leak I personally promise to come and visit you if yours leaks and I will replace all damaged components.

just hope you dont get a leak guys

you don't want Ace Modder bowling round your house.

especially if you've got beers in, you'll never get rid of him.

antec never made a 280 kuhler?

seems that the bang for buck is pretty good.
