Been looking for one of these myself and this looks like a pretty sweet deal for an all in one cooler, this is the newer model which came out recently and is meant to be a pretty big improvement over the old one.
These things are almost as cheap as air coolers these days!
Cheers

120mm AIOs are decent coolers (especially for less than 40 quid), but be in no doubt that, in most decent sized cases, they'll easily be outperformed by a high end air cooler, such as a Noctua NH-D15. These are NOT a cut price alternative to a 240, 280 or 360mm AIO cooler.
What these 120mm AIOs are good for getting the heat from your CPU out of a smaller case, or a case with restricted air flow. High end air coolers often don't fit (they're too tall) in smaller cases and don't work nearly as well if they don't have a good supply of fresh, cool air.
Anyway, heat added, a good price for a brand new 120mm AIO cooler, just make sure a 120mm AIO fits your needs :smiley:.

If anyone is ordering this tonight or early tomorrow... order it via the "Today Only" page and its £32.39, so a couple of quid cheaper :wink:

I thought that's the CPU job to make the heat.

How do you get free delivery from UPs collection, it says £4.79 for me?
cokeboy to clnsndrs
22 Mar 16#6
I just tried and it offered me free UPS collection - see screen shot

Mine says £3.99 - tried lots of stores.

I think it is postcode dependant, scottish highlands for example is £3.99 UPS access point. But mainland UK is free.

22 Mar 16#10
what is your postcode?

22 Mar 161#11
SE18 6GJ mainland LONDON! lol!

22 Mar 16#12
ah its £3.99 for me, once I actually select a store too.

22 Mar 16#13
Yeah mine shows £0.00 under UPS but I've tried my work address and family members address and can't find a free one!
cokeboy
22 Mar 16#14
well even at £3.99 postage its still a decent deal for sure.

22 Mar 162#15
Yep sorry guys, I did the same as cokeboy above, didn't select the access point and it was showing £0 delivery for me - DPD is only £3.33+vat though, have updated the post.

I wouldn't pick up from Barmy Bills - they lost a ups parcel of mine once and then claimed that I picked it up with a dodgy signature. All sorted in the end, but there's loads of better places to pick your stuff up from round here lol

Fair comments. Which AIO coolers do you recommend? Or do you prefer custom watercooling?

The H1200 AIO 240mm CPU cooler is only £53.79 as well.
with 4 fans are you limited by what case you can use?
matt101101 to cokeboy
22 Mar 16#27
Yes, you would be. Once you exceed 240mm with fans on one side, your case options are significantly more limited, especially if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
I have, and thoroughly recommend, the Fractal Design Define S. It's a fantastic, cheap (for what it is) and versatile water cooling case. The only thing which some people might not like is that it has no optical disc drive bays.
With regard to a push/pull 240mm AIO cooler, the Define S can fit one in the top and one in the front (yes, simultaneously). In fact, I believe you can put up to a 420mm radiator in the top, whilst still having a 240mm push/pull in the front!
stevej1976 to cokeboy

You don't have to use the 4, it will work with 2 on it just fine. Gives you 2 spare fans to use some her in the case.

not a good cooler according to review, wouldn't use for overclocking.
matt101101 to pcangeldust
22 Mar 16#26
You'd get a modest overclock with this cooler, though you'd likely run into thermal limits before you reached your CPU's maximum safe voltage.
matt101101
22 Mar 16#25
Whilst I know a full custom loop with a massive 420mm radiator and Noctua fans is probably the outright best option for cooling (excluding phase change and other craziness), I couldn't bring myself to spend that much when a large AIO cooler will do the job nearly as well for a fraction of the price.
I have an H110i GT (now called an H110i, under Corsair's new naming system), which is a 280mm AIO cooler and I'm very happy with it. Using Corsair Link I have its stock fans set at minimum speed, which is 500RPM, and it easily keeps my overclocked 4690k under control whilst being practically silent.

Is this any good for a FX 8350, some reviews seem otherwise?
matt101101 to clnsndrs
23 Mar 16#29
It'll be alright at stock speeds...that's about it; the 8350 is a hot, power hungry chip with a high TDP.
If you wish to overclock or have a very quiet system, you'd be much better served with either a high end air cooler, such an a Noctua NH-D14 or 15, or a 240mm+ AIO liquid cooler. Which one suits you best depends on your case, airflow and budget.

This or a Hyper 212 EVO?
I'll be running an i5-4690K at stock to start with, will be looking to OC in the future though.
awoodhall2003 to hornblowerracing
23 Mar 16#36
This what my thinking. This H600 seems alright, and for stock seems better for idle temps. But for OC appears the 212 performs slightly better and is cheaper. My thoughts are putting it on a i5-6600k.
matt101101 to hornblowerracing
23 Mar 16#37
You won't get the best out of even an average 4690k with either this or a 212 Evo. Either will be fine for stock speeds (however, so is the free Intel cooler), but you'll need a 240mm+ AIO or a high end air cooler for safe maximum voltage to become your limiting factor in overclocking, as opposed to temperature.

I'm looking to build a PC with a EVGA SuperNova 850W Gold, an Antec ISK600 ITX case, 390x or 970 GPU, a couple of HDDs, an SSD and a £100+ CPU. Would this water cooler be adequate considering I only have 1 120mm fan slot to work with?
hitman007
23 Mar 16#35
Yes.
hornblowerracing
23 Mar 16#38
Cheers, I got an i5-4690K from CEX and it did not come with the stock cooler. So rather than getting the cheapest, I was trying to plan ahead a little.
What would you recommend for a good OC in the future?
matt101101
23 Mar 16#39
Don't worry about idle temps, they really don't matter at all. Temps under load give a far better indication of the true capability of any cooler.
That said, as I suggested to the person above with a 4690k, you won't get the best out of a 6600k with this or a 212 Evo. Neither are designed for heavy overclocking, they're more for small overclocks or just being quieter than the stock Intel cooler when under load (though I understand the 6600k doesn't come with an Intel cooler).
matt101101
23 Mar 16#40
I've easily reached the safe voltage limit of my 4690k with an H110i (a 280mm AIO cooler), but I suspect if you were willing to have your CPU cooler's fans run at more than the silent 500RPM I have mine set to, you could easily max out a 4690k's overclocking potential with a decent 240mm AIO, such as one of the H100i variants.
If you wanted to take the air cooling route, something like a Noctua NH-D15 would also get the best out of a 4690k, though you need good case air flow to keep it fed with cool air and allow it to effectively exhaust its hot air out of the case. If not, it just ends up recycling hot air, which obviously reduces its effectiveness.
hornblowerracing
23 Mar 16#41
I'll look at buying something bigger as you suggest in this case, will save spending out again in the future. Do you know if the stock fan on an i3-4170 would keep the i5-4690K cool enough at stock speeds?
matt101101
23 Mar 161#42
I believe that all stock Intel coolers which have the same mounting hardware, which both being Haswell LGA 1150 chips the 4690k and 4170 will have, are the same. I know there are some exceptions for Extreme Edition chips, but that's not relevant here.
Therefore, yes, to the best of my knowledge the stock cooler from a 4170, despite being an i3, will keep a 4690k cool (well, within an acceptable temperature range), at stock speeds.
awoodhall2003
23 Mar 16#43
Oh agreed, if you are going for maximum OC then yes you will need something a bit more heavy duty, but for a mid/sensible OC both should be fine, obviously depending on how quiet you want your system to be!

Are these Antec coolers any more reliable or better than corsair AIO water coolers?
Thanks in advance
matt101101 to Smosekum
24 Mar 161#47
Probably about the same, in reality. Most AIO coolers are actually made by either Asetek or CoolIT, not Antec, Corsair, Fractal Design etc. This will be quieter than a stock Intel Cooler when under load, but possibly not at idle due to this having a pump which has to run all the time.

Will this help with noise reduction for my PC? I've got plenty of fans but I've also got a stock Intel cooler which I feel is raising the decibels under load.
pcangeldust
24 Mar 16#46
I took the plunge and ordered this cooler for a new mini-ITX build am working on. Hopefully, it will serve me well. Never used an AIO liquid cooler or any type liquid cooling for that matter so am a bit wary. I wanted to get the Coolermaster Nepton 120XL but this was less than half price so it's worth a shot I guess, still wondering if it comes with additional fan screws for push pull configuration.
