Hey guys,

Antec is, of course, awesome as ever.  Just wanted to let you guys know if you have any questions or want to game you can also feel free to hit me up =)

Cheers,

They all work great until they leak.I just sent my H50 in for RMA today after a year and a half.Scares the hell out of you too when you see that white puddle on top of your graphics card.

well i got one question that i didn't really get fully answered thru email

will the cooling efficiency be worse if i use a cooler master silent red led fan instead of the antec fan

also my radiator came with many broken i don't know what to call it things is that important? like someome put there finger on it and broke some of them

the soft flaps things inside the radiator

Hey man,
Can you send me a pic of those bent fins?  That shouldn't be the case and I would like to take that to the people that need to see it.

About the fan:
Our thermal engineers design a unit around the complete package.  This means we go through a pretty good fan selection process to ensure the proper amount of air is moving through the radiator.  There are of course better fans, but we start you out of the box with a good one. 

In answer to your question, you can use any fan you would like and I can't speak to that specific fan simply because I don't know its specs.  From what it sounded like, you aren't doing any overclocking so I wouldn't be overly concerned.  There is also the option of slapping that fan on in addition to the one we provided.

Sorry, but I can't see anything in this picture.  Does your camera have a macro mode (indicated by a flower)  it will help you focus close up.  Right now, this could be a picture o the loch ness monster for all i know ;)

Oh cool. Asetek is in the house...
Yeah I've been telling to who would listen (also on the hardforum) that the Antec is the better unit. It performs almost on par with the H70 when put together with two fans.
Only things I don't like:
1) the rotating installation mechanism preventing the use of some exotic TIM. Although it has its advantages by offering more flexibility for the tubings.
2) Also the fan header is only a two pin and does not have fan speed monitoring. Would be best if it was a PWM fan. I am actually tempted to cut this cable since I am not using it.

For reference, I owned the H50 and coolit vantage. They are both 16fpi rads. The H70 like the Antec are 20fpi. The latter two benefit more from higher pressure fans and push pull configs.

Hey rafale,
Thanks for the support!
1)  You can actually install the system without rotating it.  What you can do is put the ring onto the pump in the orientation you would like.  Then, while holding the ring on with your fingers while holding the pump in one hand, you can place the pump down on the cpu and use your free hand to screws in the screws.  I will be making a video to demonstrate this and other installations soon.  We have been making a bunch of content over at Asetek.com/blog to assist our community =)

2)  The fan connector on the 620 has fan control.  We use voltage regulation to speed up or slow down the fan.  PWM is on its way.  Since it takes more to do, it will be on a higher end product that will remain a mystery for a few more days ;) 

Can you cut the cable? Yes, but be sure to shrinktube or tape off the wires.  Keep in mind, THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY sorry for the caps, but I need to make that clear haha

You are correct on your final points =)

Cheers,
Stu

Since I see some members have the Kuhler 620 I'd like to as them a question.

Are you able to run any fan with the Kuhler and not have the RPM limited by the fan controller on the Kuhler? In other words, can you just connect your fans (assuming you use 2 120mm fans)  to the motherboard standoffs or does one have to go through the fan controller on the Kuhler itself?
