So your thinking of getting a h220x/h240x? Don't

Hello people.

I am basically going to just come out and say that this cooler is annoying AF! Allow me to elaborate:

Sometimes when i coldboot my pc the pump wont start up. Cooking my 5930k. (i have checked all connectors thoroughly and everything is in OK. Also i have a p2 1200w psu so i should be fine with power)

Generally the pump has an annoying whine to it. mine has not gotten to this guys stage yet but the next step for the horseshit pump is this or death.(video below)

I do not own this video. Nightmare2993 Has the rights to it and i am purely using it as an example.

 

Lastly even though the pump can be DC controlled i would have it set on an rpm profile it would ignore some times. for example it would run at full speed with all of the lovely whine as well. i would have to manually choose the profile again for it to ramp back down.

 

I do not even trust to add a potato to this loop in the near future let alone a titan x.

 

The pumps in swiftechs products are just purely shitty and they need to do something about it rather than just adding an X to the end of a previous model and throwing some f**king lights on it.

 

Do not buy this product. 9/10 you will receive a defective product with their shitty pump. BUY AN AIO OR DO A CUSTOM LOOP!!

i cannot agree any more with your hashtag.

Hello people.

What your describing there sounds like a software / bios issue rather than a pump fault. Remember the pump runs by the motherboard checking temperature and then telling the pump how hard to run...

Well I generally wouldn't want something like this. If you plan to do more than a simple CPU loop, then you should be getting a better pump and more flexible components. If you won't expand, you can get a better AIO for less.

That is what i thought. but i got this fan rpm controller with a wheel on it to adjust the speed and it still tends to do the same thing.

Exactly, i thought i would upgrade from a h100i because of the reservoir and the ability to control the pump rpm

That's a shame, I wanted to get an H-220x to replace my corsair h110. I like how you can see the coolant in it, and I was always curious about how it would perform expanded.

I liked it because of the coolant too. But with their being so many defective units having to be RMA'd then it is not worth getting one at all.

I'm wondering if it would be worth while to buy it, and an decent pump, and just leave the built in pump unplugged. The reason I wonder about that, is because you get a reservoir, radiator, and cpu block for far less than any pre-packaged kit I am aware of.

Just because your sample "might" be faulty, doesn't mean this is a shitty product. There are many people happy with their H220X and H240X, me included.

 

I had three bad Corsair AIOs either with noisy rattling pumps, or just went dead. However, I didn't go out to tell everyone don't buy Corsair AIOs. 

 

If your logic is if one has a faulty sample, other people shouldn't buy the product. Then can you show me which AIO has 100% perfect record?
