Antec Kuhler H2O 620 temps

[Okedokey]

Ok, i installed the above mentioned cooler, OCd to 4.4GHz and at idle i get 26oC and on max prime 95 (small fft) i get 59oC, i think that is pretty good. Thoughts? Particularly those with a similar rig, looking for decent air cooler comparisons. Just for reference, the stock Intel cooler when to 92oc in 10 secs. BOO!

They aren't bad coolers A lot of people with their own loop like to bash these things, but for ~$100-$150 it's better value than buying a full custom loop.

Have you done any modifications on the Kuhler??
And also what is your ambient temp?

Those are really nice temps.And at 59 full load you can also keep this as your daily overclock. :good:

You're a very smart man mihir. I have indeed done a mod. I had a noctura fan installed on my case so i left it there and installed the supplied fan on the other side of the radiator pushing out doubling the air flow. Made a significant difference. Ambient is 24 oC with ducted heating

That's good for a 24c ambient

I have to install my 1850rpm GT's when I get home.
