Antec Kühler H2O 620 CPU Cooler Review

Cooling/Water Cooling by stefan @ 2011-03-18

The Kühler H2O 620 from Antec is another all-in-one water cooler which does not need any maintenance during its lifetime, and it is recommended for people who want a very easy installation, without the hassle of building a complete water cooling loop from scratch.

Product Installation

The tests have taken place on a LGA1156 system, so we will use the appropriate mounting system for it; the first step would be to insert the blue plastic adapters into the mounting ring:

 

 

 

Each tiny blue adapter is also provided with a clip, for easy mounting/removal:

 

 

 

Next, we have to insert the provided nuts into the instructed holes (there is a separate hole for each socket):

 

 

 

 

To aid the installation procedure, we can use the adhesives Antec has provided on the other side of the plastic backplate:

 

 

 

Here is how the backplate does look, when mounted on the motherboard:

 

 

 

With the included special screws, we can then loosely place the mounting ring onto the motherboard; if the ring is tightly fixed, we won't be able to fix on it the pump/plate assembly:

 

 

 

 

The radiator can be mounted easily with the provided long screws; the 120mm fan will be sandwiched between the back of the case and the radiator and must be placed to pull air from the radiator and evacuate it out of the case:

 

 

 

After placing the pump/plate onto the CPU, we must rotate it a little so the plastic feet will align with the metallic feet on the ring:
