NZXT Kraken X60 vs Corsair H110 vs CM Glacer 240L vs Swiftech H220. Which one performs the best?

[Yatin]

I don't care if this is a fair comparison or not. Please just tell me which one performs the best and don't leave any irrelevant post. Thanks in advance!

it does.

it does.

Oh whoops lol! I misread that.

H220 will beat everything. But i recommend going for the bequiet! Dark Rock 3 Pro cause it's silent and sexy. 

[Yatin]

Well, I heard that the Glacer 240L is a kind of successor to the H220

H220 is pretty sexy.. just got mine a few days ago and 10 1/2hr prime95 on i5 2500k at 4.3 was about 60-62c I also run Noctua NF-F12 fans on it and put the Helix fans from the H220 on my wifes Hyper 212 Evo.

 

Here is a video of our own Linus doing a product demo and comparison :

Just curious, how is it that the h220 is so much better, especially than the h110, when the h110 runs 140mm fans?  Is the rad much thicker on the h220 or something?

[Skiiwee29]

The RAD with the H220 is actually made of Copper, which has much better heat dissipation compared to the standard RAD from Corsair that is Aluminum. In either this one of the other H220 review/Benchmark videos that Linus did he explains it.

Cool thanks! Definitely gonna watch that. I noticed you have one and use noctua fans. Have you run it in a push configuration ever? I'm wondering if there would be an improvement because of the way the noctua fans are designed?

[Skiiwee29]

There is really no different in Push or Pull, Linus recommends Pull simply for cleaning purpose. The temp difference is maybe 1-2c at most. I personally use it in Pull.

Got ya. Thanks.

So the H220 is better. But I heard that the Glacer 240L is the successor to the H220? Is that really true?

Can't be, made by 2 different companies...

 

Edit: Stand corrected.. looks like the 240L is a rebadge of the H220. Apparently Swiftech is lending there tech to Cooler Master now..

Uhm. Noob here. How do I configure it as a "pull" or a "push"? Is this related to the fans being in exhaust or intake? If not, is it recommended to put these fans in exhaust or intake for the case. Cheers!

It's just how you position your fans. The radiator will have mounting options for either side, and then it's a matter of which way you point your fans (airflow into the radiator or directed away from the radiator).

Depends on the context. If you're talking Fluid Mechanics, then push and pull refers to exhaust and intake. PC enthusiasts have, however, adapted the term for their fan orientation with radiators.
