I'm selecting between comparable Asetek based 120mm AIOs, mainly entry level units. Basically between these three which are available at where I live:

1. Corsair H55
2. Zalman LQ310
3. Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer C

Any information comparing these coolers? From the local sellers I can find, the Zalman is slightly more expensive. Corsair appears to be a popular brand, but the H55 seems to have a weaker fan.

The Thermaltake is of a bit interest: all three AIOs are 120mm x 27-28mm radiators with a single fan, but the Water 3.0 Performer C lists a much heavier 750g weight (compared to about 500g for the other two), but I can't find any information on why, or if it was just a mis-spec.

Any information/comments would be appreciated.

ps. in case someone asks "why Asetek based?", well, my motherboard is the Asrock X99 ITX with the narrow ILM 2011-v3 socket, and I bought the Asetek brackets, so... ;)
 
Go with the cheap corsair just for the warranty fact... if some day you have to RMA, or you have an issue you will be in the best warranty hands of the industry.
