Honestly if everything (mobo, cpu, Glacer) is tight and you're getting that sound, I would RMA it. What it sounds like to me that the pressure of mounting it adds just enough pressure for the impeller to be making contact somewhere inside the pump when its at higher speeds. These things are made to very low tolerances, but also very tight gaps. So an exceedingly soft piece of acetal could be the culprit in this case. That's my theory on it anyway.That being said, if using it as an AIO, 2000 rpm is overkill anyway. 1500-1800 is the sweet spot between noise and performance. Once you have "enough" flow, which the unit does as an AIO CPU cooler at ~1500 rpm, more flow will hardly affect temperatures at all. About 1*C difference in this case between 1500 rpm and 3000.

What 140 fans are you wanting? I've only seen a few that would be good on radiators, since static pressure is more important than CFM on rads.
-
Most likely will be a 360 version at some point, thought the 240 variant already outperforms the H110. 280 and 140 variants are unkown at this time, but almost definitely will not be a 420mm version any time soon, since Swiftech does not make a 420mm radiator currently. BTW sorry for the multiple posts, I can't multi-quote on mobile.

What case do you have?
-
It will eventually be sold worldwide alongside the H220 but no ETA at this time.
-
Enough to see it's rebranded H220? Yes. Enough to know it's a beefed up variant? No

Som more info, pulled from Swiftech's press release shared today on their site: Another interesting note, the H220 has 400mm tubing whereas the Glacer 240L has 420mm.
-
Not sure what other info on the deal you would want.. It's only a little different than Cooler Master's deal with Alphacool for the Eisberg. Cooler Master worked witg the Germans to release a premium product in Europe first, then relased it stateside, and now they worked with an American company, Swiftech, to release a product first here in the NA.

Pretty close, but these are higher RPM variants than the ones on the Hyper 212. 2500 vs 2000. $$$. At $140 for a capable pump, block, radiator, and fans, it's a hefty performer for the price. A custom loop of comparable power would cost a bit more. The Glacer is designed and assembled by swiftech for Cooler Master, which a couple spec changes I mentioned earlier, per Cooler Master's requests. So again reliability will not be a problem.

Would a Swifttech h220 be enough for a 7970 and 6300?
Phelan replied to RainColt's topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
The H220 would be plenty to cool the CPU and single GPU. Gabe had a build at CES that ran 2 680s and a 3770K @ 4.5 GHz on the single rad with just push fans. As long as you don't have crazy OCs on the CPU and GPU the temps should never reach 80*C under load. Also, don't use the Noctua LNAs on the Helix fans. You can ask Linus why not (LNAs are voltage resistors, and the PWM Helix fans are not designed for voltage modulation. Only change their RPMs via PWM modulation). -
Cooler Master went with the barbs because that's how Swiftech designed it and they didn't change the unit too much. Swiftech chose the swivel barbs over fittings for cost and compatibility reasons. The swivel barbs allow the unit to be used in several applications in which a full-sized Apogee Drive II would not fit, like low-profile SFF builds, and allows the radiator to be mounted in any orientation. The barbs also keep the H220 from cannibalizing too many Apogee Drive II sales by not supporting G1/4" fittings, since the APD2 is generally overkill from a performance perspective. You can change the tubing size as long as the ID is still 3/8", but you will have to use your own clamps if the OD is not 5/8".

It's already for sale on Newegg at the same MSRP as the H220, $140. When I looked yesterday it was on sale for $130.
-
Yep . SFF is kinda my thing these days. I have a 7990 that I want to put in an SG08 with a 4770K and an Impact, watercooled. We'll se how soon I get to start on that . Right now I'm 8 months into my Mini Phantom build (Phantom Full Tower that I cut down 5.125" in height and 3" in length)
-
Do you mean 2 GPU blocks and 2 extra rads or 1 gpu block in addition to the pump block? Either way this unit will power it no prob, as long as you run any multi-GPU setups in parallel so you don't needlessly impair flow-rate. You can effectively cool the devices in the setup you mention no problem, though you could possibly squeeze another 1-3* C out adding a second pump in the loop. All the info I have came straight from the horse's mouth. Most of my H220 info came from Gabe Rouchon (Swiftech CEO), and some from Bryan and Stephen @ Swiftech as well, whereas the Glacer info came from PMs with Jon @ Cooler Master. I've also read and kept up with all 700+ pages of the owners' group on OCN, which I started. I know I'm obviously not active here, but fortunately have previously registered here so I can post. But I am very active OCN, keeping up with my subscriptions and some new threads by the hour .
