CONCLUSION

   When we finished testing the Antec K120 AIO model a few days back we weren’t really impressed with its cooling performance so since next in line was the new Hydro H60 revision naturally our hopes fell on that and in a way we got exactly what we were expecting. Certainly when you have two almost identical models it mostly comes down to the fan used (RPM/Airflow/Pressure) so although the Hydro H60 did outperform the K120 its SP series 120mm PWM fan was quite a bit noisier. True it wasn’t by much but for some people it just might be enough for them to choose something else. Unfortunately the Hydro H60 is not compatible with CORSAIR’s LINK software so you can’t access different cooling modes but honestly when you get a single fan 120/140mm AIO performance mode (100%) is the way to go.

   CORSAIR always had a rather aggressive pricing policy and that is especially evident in the new Hydro H60 AIO (CW-9060036-WW) since you can currently get one for just USD69.99 in the USA (Amazon.com) and for 79.90Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Of course for roughly the same amount one can opt for the NH-D15 by Noctua or the Dark Rock Pro 4 by be quiet! both of which offer slightly better cooling performance. At the end of the day however the latest revision of the Hydro H60 AIO liquid CPU cooler really delivers and that’s why it gets our Golden Award.
