Question 1

Maybe I'm just daft today, but I can't seem to find any info regarding tube length.  My case is a Cooler Master HAF Stacker, using the top 915 as a dedicated rad box.  Has anybody used this cooler unit in that case and can vouch that there's enough tube?  Or, better yet, can anybody just tell me how much I've got to work with between block and rad?  Thanks a bunch in advance!

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is enough room. Place the rad on either side panel of the 915, closest mounts to the io shield area. It works perfect for me, but if you want it exhaust through the top panel, it depends on where your cpu socket is. That would be tight. Otherwise, it will fit. Source: i have same exact setup that you want to create

Question 2

Will this fit the corsair 380t mini itx?

Accepted Answer

yes I had this cpu cooler -on your settings there were three settings if I remember right, normal - custom- extreme, no matter what I set mine on and get out out of the display-it would always go back to normal setting and not what I had configured it to run my fans. second of all one of my fans quite working--personally I would not recomend this set up-especially if it,s not going to last any longer than three months and the fans are not inter-changeable-was not a good set up for me-I,ve replaced mine with another set up and doing just fine-I hope this helps you on your decision!!

The antec kuhler 1250 has plastic backplate brackets for both Amd and Intel chipsets.  You will have to take the original backplate off of the mother board yourself( ultra easy).  Once secured install your processor as you would normally.  I used arctic silver 5 compound on top of the slight amount that is painted on the cold plate.  The cold plate for the antec 1250 has spacer settings for both Amd chipsets and Intel chipsets.  So, do read the instructions.  Once set, simply push it down on top of the processor and begin putting the set screws in place in a round robin fashion with only a few turns each until all 4 are in place and then begin tightening them.

Radiator install:  You will need to ensure that your case has a mount for a 240mm radiator.  My particular case was a cooler master haf 932 .  so my radiator mounted directly to the top of the case.  The kuhler unit then allowed me to mount 2 120 mm fans on the topside (exterior) of the case that attached to the wire harness included with the 1250.  So now this unit has a push/pull feature.  Although this is optional and not required.

I highly recommend installing the included software to manually control the fan speed and color of the LED.

Although you seek to do this to Intel I will share my performance now.

Idle temp: 27*c
Processor: amd 9370 4.4ghz 8 core.

Under a full load (bf4) it gets to the high 30s and never seems to hit the 40s.  Although this will vary with whatever case you choose, as well as room temp and ambient temp.  Overall though, this will work for you if your selected case again has a 240mm mount for a radiator.

I hope this helped.

Question 4

Is this product compatible with intel processor i7 2011 pins? What is it's level noise in dB?

Accepted Answer

I don't have an answer to the Intel part, but this is the best liquid cooler I've owned.  It's far quieter than the Corsair H100i.  Just to be clear, you have to horizontally mount it higher than the CPU.  I play hardcore gaming mode with an overclocked processor while in silent mode and it can handle anything I can throw at it including a 5Ghz overclock on an AMD 9590.  It's quieter than the fan on my 1200w power supply.  It uses the Antec Grid software to control the pump, so you can put it in Extreme mode which is very loud, but the only time I do that is into a 3 hour gaming session where my temps are mildly high.  Hope that helsp....

Question 5

what cpus does it fit?

Accepted Answer

Intel LGA - 775, 1150, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011
AMD - AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2

Question 6

are the fans and pumps replaceable on this system??

Accepted Answer

Hi, I've owned the coer for a few months now. The pump's (Yes, plural) are located on top of the fans. They are not replaceable, but I'm sure you could RMA them if they went bad. If you're planning on using aftermarket fans, this is probably not the system for you.

Question 7

Is this compatible with 2011 v3?

Accepted Answer

It's very universal.  Mine came with about 5 different interchangeable mounts.  HOWEVER, make sure you have some time and a lot of patience.  It took me what seemed forever to mount everything and the actual cooling fans had to be installed on the outside of the case.  BUT, I will say it keeps my CPU at a constant 60F.

Question 8

Is NewEgg currently selling version 2?

Accepted Answer

I do not believe that they are, however, if this version is cheaper, I would save the money. Version 2 is not substantially different that this version.

Question 9

Can i flip the stock fans to pull configuration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you are pull hot air from the radiator into the case.

Question 10

Will this case fit in Antec 1200 V3?

Accepted Answer

Nope.  I have this exact setup.  I made it work with some messing around.  It's just slightly too big to fit on the back fan slots.  There is no way to hook it to the top, because the big top fan is in the way.  I kludged it around in the front, but I would NOT recommend doing the same way I did.  The integrated fans make it a pain to maintain the airflow direction.  You need one of the Antec 1900 cases or similar to fit this cooler.
