But lets not forget about the Antec H2O 620 cooler. They provide high performance cooling in a very simple to install package through the use of a closed loop 120mm Radiator + Heatsink/Pump arrangement. The 620 is ideal for systems which are often in transit as the majority of the weight of the cooling apparatus is supported by the system chassis rather than the motherboard; its performance should allow it to easily keep up with overclocking your LGA1155 CPU (which ever one you choose, *wink*).
If you want to take advantage of the offer you will need to be quick off the mark when the product pages go live, it's only the first 30 customers at each of GIGABYTE's official retail partners who will be lucky enough to get the cooler.
Editor's Note: a few retailers have already placed the Z77X-UD5H motherboards up for sale with the special offer listed. Novatech and Aria don't yet have the motherboards listed, so it may well be worth checking regularly.
