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!

I can't believe Antec had to go to market with the product before they identified this issue. I think as soon as it was announced a number of people on this forum spotted the issue straight away.

Good that they have reverted to the tried and tested though rather than sticking with their idea to make it work or coming up with something else equally as flawed.

Let's just hope the reliability and performance are there with these new ones.
 
1200 looks interesting for the price. Wonder how this would cope with an oc'd 5820k. Currently using a k2 air cooler. But fancy something that takes up a bit less room.
 
Is it possbile to add another 120mm fan to the H600 for push/pull config?

Do they come with a socket 1366 bracket as standard?

Antec do not have the webpage live for this product yet.
