Antec has been a maker of PC cases and power supplies for years. Now Antec has stepped into the world of CPU coolers, both air and water. Today we look at their second self-contained water cooling kit offering, the Kuhler H2O 920. Join us as we put the Kuhler H2O 920 through the paces on our Intel Core i7 test system and see how it performs.
Thanks to Legit Reviews for doing an incredibly thorough review of the 920. If you guys have any questions about the product, I'm happy to answer them for you.
I totally agree... I want control over any lights in my system.
This looks like a decent cooling kit. I need to see if I can get my hands on one to try it out myself... Maybe change the fans with some different ones and see if I can keep the performance up there and the noise down.
Might be time to upgrade to a Sandy Bridge system with one of these!
Thinking my weekend is going to be not so jam packed. Think I might put this back on the test bench switch it around to "intake" in "silent" mode to see how this does. I'm hoping within a couple degrees of the H70. I'd like to get my hands on a set of Gentle Typhoons, but they are out of stock every where I have looked.

I'm going to add another thank you for underlining the review product in the charts, so much easier to spot and compare now.
If you're going to play around with the unit some more I think two custom settings between the Silent and Extreme profile would be nice, let's call them Normal and Gaming. Normal would be the same level as your Scythe case fans, and Gaming would be the same level as a GPU spun up a bit during a normal gaming session.
The min and max are nice to have, but I would think most users would probably want something between the two, given the poor performance of the Silent profile and the ear-splitting performance of Extreme.
