CONCLUSION
Since there’s very little reason for people (especially gamers, enthusiasts and professionals) with midi and full towers to use small single-fan 120/140mm AIO models it goes without saying that their cooling performance is nowhere near what you can get from a dual/tri-fan 240/280/360mm model. Such models however are a one way for people with small HTPC cases and although in terms of cooling efficiency the Kuhler H2O K120 doesn’t bring anything new on the table when compared to its predecessor the H600 Pro (mainly due to the higher CFM fan and the water pump located on the waterblock) it still looks slightly better, comes with Teflon sleeved tubings and has a lower-profile water block.
As I type these lines although the Kuhler H2O K120 AIO liquid CPU cooler by Antec is not available in the US (that may not change) it still has a very balanced price tag of just 54.90Euros attached to it inside the EU (Amazon UK). Overall the Kuhler K120 may not offer enough for us to recommend it to owners of its predecessor the H600 Pro but if you’re in the market looking to get a brand new 120/140mm AIO it’s certainly worth checking out.
