For our temperature tests we loaded the system for 10 minutes using Prime 95 and recorded the CPU temperature using CPUID HWMonitor. We then restarted the system and left it idling at the desktop for 10 minutes before recording temperatures. The temperatures recorded are based on an ambient temperature of 20 degrees C.
We were impressed with the X60 in our tests as it offered comparable performance to the Corsair H110 in ‘Extreme' mode. We would highly recommend not running the fans at maximum RPM however as they are deafeningly loud.
Monster! Corsair H110/H100i is hard to beat, but I like this cooler too. I might buy it to compare myself.
Kick ass !

Best review I have read of this yet. just ordered one. thanks.
NZXT rock. I have one of their phantom cases, this is next on my life. great review.
Now I need to persuade my credit card to accept the charge !
These are great coolers, but the size and mounting positions mean they won’t work in a lot of cases.
Please check everyone before buying it could be an expensive mistake!
I just bought the Corsair H110, love it. this looks good too, so many great coolers now hard to choose.
Bought the X40 last week and its brilliant. X60 wouldnt fit in my case sadly, too big.
No intention of changing my Noctua NH D14 – its much quieter than any of these coolers.
Ordered this for my Phantom. cant wait !
Is is just me or are these coolers just getting bigger and bigger? I know many people said the Phantenks and Noctua took up too much space around the CPU socket, but these liquid coolers need half the case and huge mounting positions at the top of the case, hogging a lot of room?
Who cares if its taking up space on the top of the case? if its out of the way of the memory slots etc, its a winner. I love the D14, but I sold mine to get a H100i. The D14 is just as good at cooling, but I could never get at things I needed to
Already own the X60, bought it last week. and its fantastic. bit big for a lot of cases, but its obvious with a radiator this size.
I am using Bequiet fans on mine and its much better, cost another £20 but I dont care.
I must admit I think the Corsair H100i is a bit better looking by design.
Cant buy it here anyway, has to be Corsair for me.
I will buy this for my boyfriend for his new system, birthday present sorted thanks!
What is the best case to run this in?
Corsair Obsidan 650 works well with this cooler.
I don’t think there’s much to choose between the H110 & the X60 performance wise. You pays your money & takes your choice. That said I still use my old Antec Kuhler 920 & apart from it’s over elaborate (read pain in the ass) mounting system it probably performs just as well as newer competing brands in it’s class.
