The Kuhler 1250 from Antec is a dual pump, dual 120mm fan CPU liquid cooler. Performance-wise we're looking at pretty decent numbers, but I feel like a big part of that is simply due to raw surface area and not because the design is particularly efficient. The cooler could perform better in push/pull, but unfortunately we don't test coolers in push/pull due to the extremely limited number of cases that can accommodate that configuration, particularly with this radiator & pump combination.

Considering the times these videos are released, I can't help but wonder what Linus' "work hours" are.

I can be a cynical a**hole at times. I apologize if I cause any offence at those time. I also occasionally have issues communicating my point. Extreme introversion + Photographic memory + Some other things.

Please. CPUs don't need that absurd amount of cooling. It's the high end GPUs that do.

$220 for a AIO cooler that falls short on everything we need for one? The only thing I can say is positive about this is they tried something new.

 

I'd still rather pick up a Glacer 240L or H220/H320.

Not sure if you didn't notice or get them, but in the video from Newegg about this they got offset brackets which would increase compatibility by allowing you to shift the location of the radiator in relation to the screw holes so you can move it a little away from the motherboard if it doesn't fit.

 

Also, what is with the pricing at amazon? It's $100 more than other places.
