Today I will be reviewing the Kuhler H2O 1250 by Antec. Why liquid cooling over air cooling you ask? Liquid has a higher heat density than air. Liquid absorbs heat 23 times faster than air. Component life doubles with each 10 degrees temperature decrease. Still not convinced? Unlike the days before all-in-one units, the Antec Kuhler H2O 1250 requires no maintenance, SET IT AND FORGET IT. Maintenance was one of the reasons I never was a fan of liquid cooling when extreme cooling really was not needed. Now Antec has made a liquid cooler relevant even for the non overclocking enthusiast. The Antec Kuhler 1250 is the biggest model in the Kuhler line. Chassis compatibility is the only down side when using a cooler of this massive size.
The Antec KÜHLER H2O 1250 provides maximum-performance liquid cooling for your CPU and delivers best-in-class performance in a quick, easy-to-install package. Unlike traditional liquid cooling systems, this self-contained unit comes prefilled and requires no maintenance. Two 120 mm voltage-controlled (PWM) fans and dual extra-large pumps ensure quiet, efficient cooling, while the 240 mm radiator maximizes cooling surface area to dissipate heat from the highest performance CPUs on the market. Lastly, the included Antec Grid™ software helps you monitor and control the Antec KÜHLER H2O 1250’s performance and allows you to customize its stylish RGB LED. Designed to unlock the maximum potential of your CPU, the Antec KÜHLER H2O 1250 delivers exceptional cooling when you need it the most.
