Antec Kuhler H20 920 CPU Water Cooler Review @ Legit Reviews
Description: Of the self contained kits we have tested the Corsair Hydro H70 is what we would consider the Antec Kuhler H2O 920 water coolers closest competition. The Corsair Hydro H70 is the second generation self-contained water cooling kit that was designed in part by Asetek. The Antec Kuhler H2O 920 is the third generation self-contained water cooling kit that was also just happens to designed by Asetek. Due to the fact that Asetek helped design both CPU coolers it makes sense that their newer product cools better than the previous model.

Antec Kuhler H2O 920 Liquid Cooler @ Benchmark Reviews
Description: Since Corsair popularized their version of Asetecs "LCLC" (low cost liquid cooling) system back in 2009, it seems that every time you look, another variation on the theme appears. Other manufacturers have leapt into the fray, and Antecs initial entry into the market, the Kühler 620, impressed us with its amazing performance. Now Antecs introduced a new product, the Kühler 920. At first glance it seems very similar to Corsairs Hydro H70 product, but Antec distinguishes their offering with exceptional performance and features.
Cubitek HPTX Tank Review @ Vortez
Description: The Tank series features 3 different designs, we will be taking a look at the biggest of the 3 today - HPTX Tank. As with all the cases in this series, the HPTX Tank is fully aluminium. It is wide, allowing up to 190mm tall CPU coolers to be installed and can house XL-ATX motherboards such as GIGABYTEs G1 Assassin and EVGAs SR-2. Being able to house such big hardware also means long graphics cards can also be installed within the HPTX Tank, in fact up to 340mm of clearance is available! With lots of cooling, lots of space and lots of features Im expecting some good results from this case, Lian Li ought to be very afraid.

Cyberpower Gamer Xtreme 4000 Sandy Bridge System Review @ Legit Reviews
Description: What can be said about a full system that does exactly what we expected it to do? More specifically, what cant we say!
