CONCLUSION

   Liquid CPU Coolers such as the Kuhler H2O 920 are very easy to install and produce excellent cooling efficiency if you choose the right path and judging from our results if you own a tower with good airflow and a top exhaust fan (or fans) it's better to have both fans facing inwards since naturally all the hot air in the interior will escape from the top. Still that also means that if you don't have a top exhaust fan then you don't really have a choice but to have both fans facing outwards otherwise all the hot air inside will have nowhere to go (unless that is you also turn your front fans outwards as well). Noise-wise the Kuhler H2O 920 may not be the most silent CPU Cooler out there but as you can see from our charts it's not very far from that.

   Just over a year has passed since the initial release of the Kuhler H2O 920 by Antec and so naturally its price has gone down a bit so currently you can find it at USD91.99 inside the USA (Newegg) and 105Euros inside the EU (Overclockers.Uk). Overall the Kuhler H2O 920 is still a great Liquid CPU Cooler even when used with a high end, power hungry CPU such as the i3930k. Granted it may not be just as good as the more high end/custom made dual/triple/quad radiator solutions but let's face it, you need to spend at least over two times as much to build a custom water cooler that could outperform the Kuhler H2O 920 so at least for me it's simply not worth it. Excellent performance, relatively low noise levels, easy installation and zero clearance issues are the reasons as to why the Antec Kuhler H2O 920 walks away with our Platinum award.
