Corsair H60 or Antec 620?

/Hides this thread from Aigo.

I'm thinking of swapping out my big ol dusty bent-fins-from-ziptied fans BARAM for an H60 or 620. Reviews I've looked at have shown them to be pretty close and they're within 5$ of each other in price. Anyone have experience with either of these units? Planning to mount it in either a Fractal R3 or NZXT H2, and will probably use Scythe GTs, not sure if I'm going to use one or two on it yet.

Performance might be a hair better with the all-in-one liquid coolers, but probably not by much since the Thermolab BARAM seems to be one of the nicer air coolers.

BTW I'm selling a CoolIt Vantage right now - check my forsale thread linked in my sig. It should have performance similar to the two you listed, plus has the advantage of having a fancy LCD with different colored backlights that you can choose, plus different performance profiles.

I don't have the money or desire to construct and maintain a real liquid setup.

Ok, What is your budget?

I'd like to spend less than 75$ which is just about what I can snag the H60 for.

I have a Kuhler 620. I like it quite a bit. I do have it slightly modified; the radiator is external, with a push/pull setup. I'm running an i5-750 at 3.5 and under 100% load my temps dont get above 56. For the money it's a good setup.

Personally the Noctua NH-D14 with beat any of those. But the H60 ect... give the case a nice look!

also check out Mugen 2 for $40 shipped on newegg. great cooler as well. however, if you want premade water cooler, the new H70 is top of the line now, it seems to better any air cooler on the market.

Um what? There's quite a few air coolers that are better then the H70.
