Awesome CPU kuhler

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System
Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System

Pros: Space saving, liquid cooling made by Antec.

Cons: new clicking sound coming from case after install. After reading on some forums, found that there can be air bubbles trapped inside the radiator and pump. Easy fix, read other thoughts.

Overall Review: Impressive cooling. Stuck this on a FX 4100 overclocked to 4.0GHz. Idles between 29-31 degrees Celcius. Annoying New sound was fixed by lightly shaking the pump and radiator to get the trapped air out. Had it for over a month and noise is gone. Easy install if you follow the directions. Worth the money, I was tired of having to have a huge heatsink and fan for descent cooling.

Most Critical Review

Nice fan but....

Arctic BioniX F140, Gaming Fan with PWM PST, 140 mm  -WHITE
Arctic BioniX F140, Gaming Fan with PWM PST, 140 mm -WHITE

Pros: Good warranty. I like Artic products.

Cons: Installed fan in the font of a Define Nano case. When I turned the computer on the fan blades were hitting the metal case frame and 3 of the blades broke off. Not sure if I got a defective fan or if it was just not compatible with the case.

Overall Review: I bought this fan and the BioniX F120. Mounted the F120 in the rear and had no issues. The font of the case is designed to fit a 140 or 120mm fan, the blades were clipping the frame somewhere. I had a 140mm Deepcool fan that worked in the same exact spot with no issues. Seems to me like the fan blades are to big for the fan frame they have put it in or maybe it is just not compatible with the Define Nano case.

Perfect for XP

Looks new

Intel 320 Series 2.5" 160GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSA2BW160G3H (Recertified)

Pros: Made by Intel, Fast boot times, Can't beat the price.

Cons: None

Overall Review: WOW! Got the SSD today, threw it into an old ACER Desktop I purchased in 2011. Performance is good. Downloaded and install Intel SSD Toolbox. The Toolbox is reporting SSD status as GOOD with 100% life remaining. I can't believe I got this for $34. I will be purchasing one more of these. If your computer only supports SATA II and you want a quality SSD for cheap this is the one to buy. SOLID! Can't even tell it is a REFURB. Thanks Newegg once again!

Keeps her cool

DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm Lucifer V2-CPU Cooler 140mm PWM Rubber Fan Twin-tower Metal Mounting Kit Fanless Option Support LGA 2066 / AM4
DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm Lucifer V2-CPU Cooler 140mm PWM Rubber Fan Twin-tower Metal Mounting Kit Fanless Option Support LGA 2066 / AM4

Pros: Keeps my OC FX 6300 nice and cool.

Cons: Large....did I say large. Installing back plate was painless but you will need an extra long Philips screw driver to reach the bracket to secure the heat sink.

Overall Review: Overall this is a great CPU cooler. Keeps my FX 6300 OC to 4Ghz at a max of 46 degrees C while running prime95. I used speccy and AMD overdrive to verify temps matched. Near silent. Bought a 2nd fan, didn't change the temps much so I do not use it. This thing is large. Would not fit in the Corsair case I purchased so I went back to using the Fractal design R3 black pearl I purchased in 2012. Buy it, great price and excellent cooling performance. Will be buying a 2nd soon for my 8320e system I am building.

Intel Pentium G3258 - Pentium Haswell Dual-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1150 53W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646G3258

Pros: Price/Performance. Easy Overclock.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Excellent price to performance ratio. Speedy processor if you overclock. Got mine stable at 4.2 with 1.15V. Seeing temps in the low 60's running prime95 with an antec Kuhler H2O 620. Added an 850 Evo SSD and an R7 260X video card, 8gb ddr3 1600. Windows 7 WEI scores 7.3, 7.4, 7.6, 7.6, 7.9. Overall very happy with this processor and ITX Build.
