Long story short I've got a rosewill blackhawk mid tower case that doesn't like tower cpu air coolers. All the forum posts complain about how it hits the side fan when you install a heatsink like the 212+ evo. I'm going to be overclocking the phenom x4 965 BE, so i needed better cooling. The closed loop liquid coolers are the best option because of the space requirements I have. Which is better the corsair h60 or the antec kuhler h20 620. both are on sale right now at NCIX.us and newegg.com. the h60 is 40 after mail-in-rebate, but the antec is $55 shipped out the door. From the reviews both are good, but i'm leaning towards the antec, should i get it?
A read about the Asus water loop kits a few months back and from what I saw they were quite nice. I'd say go for the Kuhler.
I bought a "Corsair CPU Kühler(cooler) H70 Hydro Series F/ LGA1156 LGA775 LGA1366 AM2/3" a couple years ago. It's awesome, works great, is quiet, never had any problems. I'd buy another.
I have all BeQuiet fans, I can't stand the noise... so everything is nice and silent for the most part. When my other computers are running there is a major difference.
If you don't want liquid cooling then I would go with "be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 CPU-Kühler (120mm) für Intel und AMD"
Just make sure there is enough room.
Since you're going to overclock, I read some negative reviews on amazon about how the Antec wasn't cool enough for overclocking someone had posted. German Amazon website. I would go with the better cooler which I could use on a future system upgrade whenever that happens/if ever. As long as your current case has enough room.
Thanks for the help guys, i got the antec kuhler h20 620 because it was on sale at ncix for 44 bucks and added in a tube of thermal paste then got free shipping :). From the review i've read and the youtube videos i've seen the antec kuhler works almost as good as an h70 like 1 degree difference load and idle. It beat the h50, but at the time most people reviewed it the h60 was not out yet.

yeah i've rather have gone with a cheaper air cooler, but i've got an overclocked evga 650ti in the system and i'd rather have a side fan drawing in fresh air. Rather than buy a huge 140mm cpu fan and then have it hit the side fan or top panel i'd rather just get something that i know is going to fit. and that i know is going to work/keep the cpu kuhler. The reviews on neweegg/amazon where all mostly positive i was impressed with some of the overclocks people got with their 1055t/i7 920s. It seemed to be a good buy, who knows i'll pm you the temps if you want.
