Conclusion

General   + -
Antecs H2O 920 closed-loop watercooler was able to convince us. Not only the performance was excellent, the build quality as well as the noise level was very good too. It really doesn't matter what you're looking at when you have the H2O 920 in your hands. The only thing that could have been done better is the surface of the cooling block. This one could have been mirror lapped, although that would be only for the looks and doesn't affect cooling performance. Also the pump has been a good choice, since it's only causing a very silent humming noise, which you won't hear, when it's in a case.   - Cooling capacity
- Noise level
- Fins
       
Installation   + -
The installation process is very easy and there are very few coolers, which are easier to install. If you decide to mount both fans, you should just make sure, that there is plenty of interior space to place the cooler.   - Super easy
- Compatible with Intel and AMD sockets
 
       
Performance   + -
During our tests we used the Antec fans, which were included in delivery. If you drive these 120 millimeter fans at 7 Volt they are silent and at 12 Volt (2'500 rpm) they can be described as very loud. A closer look at the test results shows that the H2O 920 shows excellent cooling capabilites at 12 Volt as well as at 7 Volt.   - Excellent cooling capacity
- 4-Pin PWM
- Noise level at max rpm
       
Recommendation   + -
If you should be thinking about buying an all-in-one watercooler and you have a case that can house a 49 millimeter thick radiator, then the H2O 920 from Antec is a great choice. Last but not least about 80 Euro is an attractive price tag for such a product.   - Enthusiast PC
- Gaming PC
- Slient-PC (7V)
