Rewind the clock by 2 years, back to a time when Cool-IT and Corsair shook the cooling world with the release of their ground breaking all-in-one liquid CPU coolers. They brought liquid cooling to the mainstream market and allowed users to cool their CPU with the all of the benefits that using water as a heat transfer medium brings but without the hassle and constant maintenance it also demands. They proved to be effective coolers and offered good performance even when compared to the largest of air coolers. 2 years later and a lot of things have changed. Corsair and Asetek (the company which helped produce Corsair's H50 and H70) have now parted so Antec took the opportunity to grab themselves a great partner for producing their all-in-one liquid cooling solutions in Asetek.

The Antec Kühler H2O 620 Liquid CPU Cooler is the mainstream brother to the Antec Kühler H2O 920 Liquid CPU Cooler. Both products make up Antec's first venture into the all-in-one liquid CPU cooler market. Antec haven't decided to partner with Asetek just to release re-named models of Corsair's H50 and H70 though. They want to really make a push in the high end and mainstream cooling markets. They aim to do this by making improvements over the previous generations of all-in-one liquid CPU coolers by adding useful features such as improved tubing flexibility and a "latest generation copper cold plate". The low profile pump ensures that the Kühler 620 will not cause any interference issues with tall RAM or overhanging VRM heatsinks.
