This bit is context, skip to second paragraph for question. So i've always had a wanting to make a custom loop for my ncase system, but due to my lack of overall knowledge and how cheap i am, plus asthetics, i never got around to it. Skip to now, i had looked into the ekwb predator expandable aio, and just adding a block to my gpu as well sounded like a relatively cheap and easy idea. That went to hell when i found out it would only fit if i bent the ncase a bit (NOOOOOOO). So finally i came across the swiftech h220. It fits according to the specs, but thats all i seem to know. With the h220 I need to know 2 things, the first is, if i added a gpu block, would the pump be able to handle it without trouble. Secondly, how would that affect the temps knowing I want to keep the fan rpm's low (this is all about lower temps and being quieter) *NOTE* this is the original h220, not the 220x or etc.

Hello everyone! My litle brother was done with his old rig so he left me a swiftech h220. So i took it cleaned it and put it in an old rig i have laying around. I turned it on and there it was 'pssssss' white smoke, The black wire burned. ive never used watercooling before but understand the basics, so yes it was filled etc. now for the Question part: The rad of the 220 is pretty good i read, so i wanne re-use it. can i use the cpu block of the 220 (maybe clear the rotor/magnet out and put a pump to it? ow and any recomendations on what pump to get for it? (pref cheap but decent) Thanks in advance!

Hello, My friend has a H220, but the tubes are too long, as on most H220's. He would like to know if he could replace the tubing with hardline 10/16mm, or if that would not work with the included barbs on the H220 ( if not, then I'l just shorten the tubing for him ) Thanks !

Hello, I recently got my H220 back from swiftech , just put it in my system to find it being UNBEARABLY noisy . I plugged it in a PWM header on my X99s SLI PLUS , and bought it to it's lowest RPM ( 1680-1720 rpm ) . At these speeds , it's acceptable ( equivalent or a bit noisier than my H55 and liqtech 240) , but not silent like the reviews state , but it's the fact that as soon as I go above 25% , it becomes very loud with a whiny sound ( 50 , 75 and 100% ) Running it at 25% is fine for the moment , but I have a 360mm rad and a R9 290 block coming and I doubt 1700 rpm will be enough . Does this sound like a defect ( a nother rma would really be a pain ) ? Is it normal that at 50% ( 2200rpm ) it's really noisy with a small "brrr" noise from the pump ? thanks

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) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVr_pt5XucM 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!! - Pasha786 -
Yesterday disaster has struck, my computer was on but unused at the time when there was a series of loud pops, the monitor went blank and suddenly there was smoke coming out of the top of my case. I quickly unplugged the computer and took it outside. There I have learned that it wasn't my entire computer on fire, in fact I could not really spot the problem. I was searching for dead, blown capacitors but i couldn't find any. Only after some searching I have found the source of the smoke, and the smell. There were signs of damage around the cpu socket, the cpu cooler my H220 was also destroyed. The place on the pump block where the wires hook up to it, the pump has "exploded". The wires were bare and the outside with their rubber coating melted away. The unit has also seemed to have spat out an amount of fused together metal and melted plastic, coating and sticking to my ram, as well as coating the area between the cpu socket and the ram with fine metal filings, powder. I have contacted swiftech because I thought that the H220 pump was the one that caused the problem was my cpu cooler, however after further investigation and some emails back and fort, I was told that there is no way the pump would have "spat' out all of that metal. They suggested it is the capacitor that blew. With their help I have found that my motherboard has some damages too, (I guess) and I was told to turn to corsair to get my system replaced. I was toldt it seems like a cascading power surge has fried all components inside. i don't know what would still function, and I am unable to test all of my other parts individually, and I don't want to risk damaging my other PC. What are your opinions on the matter? is it really a pwoer surge that would cause thses issues? Does that capacitor look blown to you guys? How would I go about, is it safe to test the parts from this system in another one?

Hello folks I am strongly considering getting an H220 due to its strong performance reviews. But what i have not yet seen is any endurance reviews. After reading some of the reviews on newegg I am slightly shied away from jumping into this purchase. I really want this unit, but to have it fail much the same way as these users then it's a bit of a dealbreaker. Some reviews.... http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=35-108-183&SortField=3&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29&Page=1#scrollFullInfo What do you guys think?

Hey, I have a H80i with a 3570k at the moment and the temps seem quite high. Wondering what would be the best AIO Water Cooler or wait for the H360/H280 from Swiftech? Can you get the H220 and link it up to a 280mm rad? H220 at top and 280mm rad in front? Suggestions? :D Thanks. BTW I am using the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2! Beast of a case! Any modding suggestions for it? :rolleyes: -

Hey guys, i am planning on building a computer soon and have started looking into great parts for my gaming build. I am thinking about buying the H220 cpu cooler and put it on a Sabertooth Z87 mobo and put them in a R4. My question here though is, will it fit? I have heard about the R4 being big but not having a lot of space above the atx motherboards when installed. Meanwhile, the Sabertooth is pretty big and the heatsink might make it even harder to fit the H220 in. This when putting the fans on the top. If not, would it be as efficient to put it in the front instead with the hdd cases removed? The reasons to why i am stuck to those parts are that i want a great cpu cooler so i can overclock without worrying, and the Sabertooth Z87 looks great and is "more secure" (in my opinion) for people that aren't used to dealing with computer components. And i want the R4 because i have had a R3 which i loved because of the looks and the possibilities it offered. Sorry if my questions are unclear or if my spelling is bad, thanks in advance. -
so, i got myself a H220 on a good deal. I know that some of their units have pump problems, but i got one anyways, but seems like mine is no exception. First off, i mounted my H220 with the reservoir down (see pictures), because it wouldn't fit the other way around (res up). Is that a problem? My temps are also pretty terrible, with 50-60 °C idle, with all fans on 100%. The only way to lower it to sub 50 °C is to turn the pump up to ~60%, which is obnoxiously loud. I have a video about the noise, but Youtube's a bitch, so no video. It's similar to this guy's H220, but not THAT crazy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aOg9XFnRds It's a high pitched flickering noise, and at full load the pump goes nuts! I read a lot about air bubbles getting catched inside the pump but idk what it really is. Other people wrote that their H220 was dead silent, so i am hoping for the best. I could RMA it, but i would like to put that as last option. I don't have money or space to put an extra reservoir in the loop, but i want to keep the H220 because i do plan to expand my loop with Maxwell.

I know this question has probably been beaten to death already, but what would be the best AIO cooler for about 100 bucks? My case accepts double 120mm/140mm or triple 120mm/140mm. Looking to cool my i7 4770k so I can overclock to about 4.5-4.6Ghz. Mainly looking for the coolest temperature. I was looking at the Swiftech H220 because I heard it has the best performance, but does anyone else have a different recommendation?

Hello there I'm planning to upgrade my loop, and I don't know if the swiftech h220 pump will be enough. Currently I'm running it with the stock radiator (Noctua Fans) and the swiftech Komodo wáter block for the gtx 780. The temperaturas are fine for now (75ºC CPU, 52º GPU), but this summer the ambient may raise up, and I don't to overheat my cpu. So I think that a new radiator (240mm) and a resevoir give me space to don't overheat the system. My questions are, this makes sense ? and if the pump will deal with it ... Thanks, any answer is welcome !

Hey TechTips, I'm looking for a case and wanted to see if people have any recommendations. I was looking at the NZXT H440, but I figured I would see what other people have to say about cases. Only requirements are it has to be mid tower, or hold an ATX board, be able to house a 2x120mm radiator, and have a windowed side panel. I would like to try and keep it around the U.S. $120-150 mark. let me know what I should look at

Hey all, Right now I am completely fed up with the pump noise I'm getting from my H220. Simply put, it's not silent enough, but the problem is not actually the pump's fault. I have the pump plugged into the Swiftech PWM splitter that came with the H220 unit, which is then plugged into my motherboard's PWM header (though I have tried plugging the pump directly to the motherboard's PWM headers). The motherboard in mind is the MSI Z77MA-G45, and it is reading the rpm of the pump at somewhere around 2500 rpm. I want to get the pump down to as low as it can get (which I believe is somewhere around 1200 rpm), but whatever tinkering I do in the BIOS and in SpeedFan comes to no avail. I am out a warranty on the motherboard and I have actually RMA's this motherboard once already for this exact issue. To isolate the issue, I have plugged the pump to a separate ASUS motherboard that I have, and I have complete control over the pump with that motherboard. Unfortunately, my current rig will not allow me to downgrade to that ASUS motherboard, and I do not want to completely overhaul this system yet, so I am looking for some way to control this 4-pin PWM pump. Does anyone know of any fan controller or any other possible solutions that I could do to drop my pump's speed? I don't think I'm savvy enough to do anything DIY, so I would prefer a complete solution, but I do realize that this is something most people don't shop for. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. [Also as a side note, I have the rig fully enclosed in an Antec P280 (which is a "silence" oriented case) and the H220 pump is fairly audible. The rig is under a desk and about 4 feet away from my ear.]

Good Afternoon I wanted to use either a swiftech or corsair with these new fans and i was wondering how they preform with them. It would be really nice to have someone like Linus since he has them ALL. Help would be very nice -
im planning on building a itx gaming rig in a prodigy using one of asus's new z87i-deluxe boards and a haswell cpu when released next month. just wandering if a h220 will be compatible with the new socket? also wandering if the single 240mm rad on the h220 will be able to cool a slightly overclocked cpu and a gpu if i choose to expand to a gpu block aswell? Thanks for any help! -
For my next build I want to try watercooling. Rather than getting a whole bunch of parts and starting my own watercooling setup I wanted to go for an all in one cooler as this is my first watercooling build. I was looking at many different ones and the one I found most appealing to me was the Swiftech H220. I also wanted to get that cool look of having seethrough tubing, basically would I be able to drain the coolant from the H220 change the tubing and refill the coolant?

Hey guys, This is actually my first post (whoo!), but anyway, here's my question... I built my first computer a few months ago, and everythings all inside this gigantic (in my oppinion) HAF932. I've been staring down Swiftech's H220 AIO liquid cooler ever since Linus did his CES video on it. I've finally decided to go ahead and buy it (just for it to be on back order, great :P). My problem/question is that my case, the HAF932, comes preinstalled with 2 230mm intake fans (one side, one front) and one 230mm exaust (top) and one 140mm exaust (back). When I install the H220 at the top of the case, it would then be an active intake, no longer exaust. I am worried that just one 140mm exaust fan won't be able to keep up with a total of 4 intake fans bringing air in (two 230mm, two radiator fans). I searched this up and some people said it should be fine, some said the opposite. Any oppinions? Thanks!

UPDATE: Replacement Siwftech H220 has ALSO failed. Pump failure was the cuase, but this time, in a less "chaotic" way. Well...I received my Swiftech H220 from NCIX last week. I Performed a full inspection on the exterior of the unit - all checked out okay, other then a few minor bent radiator fins. Installed the unit into my system today, and approximately after 20 minutes of operation, white electrical smoke started to emerge from the 4-pin PWM connection that comes out from the CPU water block / pump. Powered the system down IMMEDIATELY by pressing and holding the power button on my computer. Thankfully I was standing right beside my computer. Inspected the unit and saw part of the insulation on the 4-pin PWN connector is melted, and a bit of the black plastic on the block itself (near the connector) is burnt / melted. The CPU water block / pump was quite warm to the touch. I don't even know what to say. Quite literally less than 30 minutes of operation. I'm actually shocked that this happened. I've installed the unit according to the instruction booklet provided with the H220 unit, AND referred to the instructional videos on Swiftech's website. Additionally, I checked the BIOS to make sure the pump was being controlled via PWM. After clearing the smoke from my house (smell is still lingering), I began to do some research. This seems to be a common issue with the H220 - premature pump failure. I noticed a bit of what seemed like the sound of water rushing through when I was handling the H220. I'm beginning to assume the kit was not completely filled with liquid from the factory, and there were air bubbles in the loop. As a result, the air might of gotten trapped at the pump and made it operate dry, causing this failure to occur. I've already started an RMA with my retailer, NCIX, hopefully some-what better news will come back from them and/or Swiftech. Was thinking Swiftech, a company known for their liquid cooling products, and the concept of an expandable liquid cooling All-In-One kit...being able to overclock my FX-8350 further than 4.8GHz, hopefully into the 5GHz zone...and stay cool during the summer temperatures...just...I don't know what to say.

Hey guys. I'm in need of a new case and i was wondering if the h220 would work in the Fractal Design Define r4 Windowed. Thanks!

My Swiftech H220 finally came in. I carefully inspected the entire unit, and there didn't seem to be any issues other than very minor bent radiator fins. Copper radiators are more delicate than aluminum so it's totally understandable. Plus, Swiftech does say that having a bent fin or two is normal. I decided to do some minor work on it by carefully straightening up some of the bent copper fins with a pair of tweezers, thin sewing needles, and wooden toothpicks. After all that is said and done, I realized some of the original black paint on the radiator has come off (since they apply a thing layer anyways), exposing the copper. To me, it seems that having exposed copper is not something you want, so I wish to fix that. I'm afraid it will begin to discolour and/or oxidize as time goes by. Now, the big question is: Is it okay to use Acrylic Paint on copper? Members on the forums here suggested using a black Sharpie pen. Would that be a suitable solution as well? If I do decide to use Acrylic Paint, it will be a very thin amount - almost quite literally just touching it with the paint brush. Any tips?

So I just bought a used Swiftech H220, and the pump is very loud in the low RPMs. I am thinking it may be air stuck in the pump because the package was sitting in 90 degree heat today while I was at school. But anywho, this loud noise is only audible at low RPMs, so I am wondering how can I lock in my pump to just always run at 2700 RPM? I have monitored my pump speed, and under 100% load, this is what my pump gets to, and it is dead silent at this speed suprisingly. But, because it gets to this at 100% load, I know there won't be any issues with the pump not going high enough to cool the CPU, because that is what the pump peaks at anyways. I am running a Gigabyte motherboard, so if anyone knows a setting in the BIOS to lock it into 2700 RPM, or an application that will let me do this, that would be great :3

So I just got my Swiftech H220, and I am dialing in my OC. Right now, Intel Extreme Tuning is running, and my CPU seems to be stable at 4.3Ghz with 1.2 volts. How good is my chip? Slightly below average? What are somethings I can try to get my clock higher? I don't wanna go too much above 1.2 volts, because I am sitting right at 60 degrees. Should I just be happy with 4.3Ghz at 1.2 volts?

Between Tiny Tom Logan's review and Linus's review of the H220, it was a toss up whether the H220 was worth its weight in gold. Paul just answered that question with a round up of all four of today's premium all in one coolers on the market today. Too bad the H220 isnt being sold anymore :(
