Hi community,
I am planning to buy an all in one liquid cooling system for my rig sometime this week but can't decide on which one. I do some OCing and ended up with the Corsair H60 and Antech Kuhler 620. I've done some research about both of them but the answers I've found are pretty mixed. Since they're both similarly priced, which one should I go with?

At 60-70$, you can get an air cooler that is CONSIDERABLY better than either of those 2. CLCs are generally a niche product that should be used in limited height enclosures.
They are still pretty expensive for the performance you get.

My suggestion, look at air coolers at that price range.

I have to agree with the above poster. While I did recently pick up an H80i on sale to try it(yeah, I do stuff like this from time to time.). My air cooler worked as well(at a given fan speed) and has much quieter fans stock. So while the H80i can perform a bit better at higher fan speeds, it would be quite loud for my tastes.

In my case the H80i may stay in the system because my case is actually kind of cramped to the point that it is actually hard to remove my video card for cleaning.

I did notice some slight marks on the board from the cooler that was on before and the back-plate was very hard to remove(no glue just rubber). This board has had a few coolers so I am not sure what made the slight marks.

For overall performance higher end air is still very good. If you want very good performance, custom water is the way to go.

I've read that most fan coolers do a better job than low cost liquid coolers but I want to try something different. i am using the stock fan and i know it's not going to be adequate for over clocking. I've also saw some open loop sets around $12x and was considering getting one of those in the future.

Then just get a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO or Xigmatic Gaia while you save up for a REAL custom loop, you will be wasting serious cash on the H60.

I'll keep that in mind. Where would you get open loop accessories though? The only place I know of is FrozenCPU and ebay.
