THE KUHLER H2O K120

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just as always the K120 is nothing new in terms of design, basically just a radiator connected to a waterblock via two tubes.

 

 


The radiator is 27mm thick and features an FPI (fins per inch) count of 16 (Antec says 17 so perhaps it varies slightly from sample to sample).

 

 

What makes the K120 stand out from most AIO coolers in the market is the fact that its water pump is integrated with the radiator (first thing to notice since the eSATA power connector exits from that area).

 

 

Both rubber tubes are sleeved with Teflon so you don’t have to worry about durability.

 

 

The water block has the company logo on it but unfortunately it's not illuminated.

 

 

Antec ships the K120 with a thin layer of thermal conductive material on the copper water block.

 

 

Typically both tubes can be rotated from the water block to further simplify installation.

 

 

The 120mm PWM blue LED fan Antec has used can reach speeds of up to 1800RPM (+-10%) to produce up to 73.31CFM of airflow with just 30dBA of noise.

 

 

This fan features specially designed blades for optimal airflow and anti-vibration rubber pads on all 4 corners.

 

 


With the fan mounted the thickness of the coolers goes up to just under 51mm.

 

 

A single color LED fan may feel a bit off since RGB lighting is very popular now but still we think it looks great (as always we recommend turning on the unit prior to mounting it to test for possible leaks).
