Hi All-- I am looking to get into Liquid Cooling for my computer (Mainly for something to do, and something to look cool ;) ) I have read the Tom's Hardware sticky and watched the Tech Tips episode on WC-ing, and have decided that for now, a Kit is the best path for me to take. I have the i5 3570k and a GTX 660 right now (Planning to upgrade my GPU in the next cycle to either a GTX 800 series or to a Radeon 8000 series next year) At that point I will add a GPU to my loop. I have look at all of the recommended kits on the Tom's Hardware sticky and have found two that are about the same price, but I can't find comparisons anywhere... The two I have been looking at are the XSPC RayStorm D5 Laing EX360 (http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/xsrad5exwaki1.html) AND H2O-X20 Elite Series (120mm x 3 version) (http://www.swiftech.com/h2o-x20-elite.aspx) Which would be best and most reliable? I would like to overclock my CPU, and when added, my GPU. I also like good customer service behind it. Or is there something better for the money? I live in the US, but am in Michigan so NCIX.ca shipping isn't too bad if an H220 would be better for me. Thanks, AM98 -
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 :(

i have this case thing is idk how iam gonna put the swiftech h320 in it, i know it can fit but how? 380mm in a 400mm space but no holes for the triple fans Thanks

Hi all. I was wondering if I could pair these three components together - The Define R4 + H220 + MSI Z87 G45. I want to fit the cooler at the top of the case. Nothing on the outside. Thanks very much.

whats your views on the Apogee Drive?

I'm making a mostly white rig, and was considering Swiftech Helix 120 fans. Can anyone tell me how loud these fans are (not just a measurement, but if it's an annoying sound or just a low woosh)? If you could compare them either nf-f12s, sp120 quiet editions, or spectre pros that would make it a lot easier to gauge for me. Thanks!

Hey everyone What is the best fan for a SILENT system with 4 radiators Swiftech Helix 120mm on 4x480mm Radiators Swiftech Helix 140mm on 4x560mm Radiators Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1150rpm on 4x480mm Radiators NoiseBlockers? If you have any other suggestions for better solutions please post them below Thanks -
Also tell me if either of 'em fits in the Bitfenix Prodigy.

I actually have a Phantom 530, and Linus said that the 220X will be sold also in 360mm version... Does it fit in my case? I was wondering because i have a dvd reader in the lowest bay, so the reservoir may hit that...

Hi, My water cooling loop has been complete for a while but my D5 pump is the noisiest part of my system. I can't really hear any of the fans but I can hear the high pitch whining of the pump. Is there any way that I can make this quieter? I have the non-vario version of the pump so I will have to use another method to silence it. What I was thinking was to make some sort of box made of acrylic, and put it over the pump. Would something like this have much of an effect? The pump is sitting in a bay res in the drive bays so it is hidden and doesn't need to look extremely pretty, Any tips would be helpful. Thanks

Does anyone know how to get there hands on swiftechs h220 (aio) cooler in the usa. I am being driven insane and need this cooler (and yes I am going to use high static pressure fans). APPARENTLY there is copyright and patent issues within the us that is causing swiftech to not sell these in the us. This is making me insane. I am looking for somewhere reputable to sell me this item at it actual price range 130-150 and not mark the product up 50 dollars or more. Also id like to not pay for 40 dollars in shipping because its coming from Malaysia or some obscure eastern country(I joke but one \Korean site wanted me to pay 60 dollars in shipping at a 160 dollar price -.-). Anyone know? and yes I do want a reputable source not a place where I have to worry about my credit card information being stolen.

What you guys think of the new design? Personally I think it looks better. The CPU block is sweet. The whole rad, pump and reservoir combo looks limiting into where you can place it in your case. Also it will probably have compatibility issues with a lot of smaller cases. -
Cooler Master, with partnership and help from minds like Swiftech, has released an AIO which is fully customizable, just like the H220. This new cooler is specifically made for the US as the Asetek v. Swiftech ordeal with pantents. This AIO is fully capable of supporting more water cooling components as it is not fully sealed. @Ghost , your thoughts? Source: techpowerup.com SPECS: Official Product Page given by @IsaaX : http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=10101&product_name=Glacer%20240L Info Given by @Phelan : From Swiftech's Website: Available now! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103196 Thanks to @IsaaX we have further information of the cooler itself According to him and what the picture shows, the pump is a "debadged" Swiftech pump found on H220/H320. This shows that we still are able to get the reliable and funcionality of the classic DIY AIO everyone loved! Our own forum user @IsaaX has now made a build with the cooler in this thread! As you can see the temperatures are VERY well preforming. Thanks for the share @IsaaX !

Installing Noctua Fans on Swiftech H320/H220
jonesy posted a topic in Custom Loop and Exotic Cooling
I just purchased a H320 and was planning on running 6 Noctua NF-F12's on it in push/pull. I found the supplied screws (M3x6mm I believe) are ever so slightly too short because of the silencing rubber on each corner of the fans. If I take this off then the screws are just about long enough. Has anyone else found the same issue? In the meantime, I have order some slightly longer screws so I can keep the rubber on I will update once they arrive and have tested this out. Thanks. -
I just recently installed my Swiftech H220 and the Noctua NF-F12 fans with it. the H220 manual seems somewhat vague on where to plug everything in, but what i got from it was to: -plug the pump into the "CPU fan" header, and the fans into my motherboards "Opt fan" (option fan) header that is directly next to the CPU fan header. the pump runs around 2k rpm at idle and the fans sit around 650 rpm at idle. if i switch the fans to the CPU fan header and the pump to the option fan header, will that make a difference in the performance or cooling? or is it best to leave things where they are? -
NCIX: http://bit.ly/1kuzMNo Amazon: http://georiot.co/495q Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103196 Buy Direct: Cooler Master: http://www.cmstore-usa.com/glacer-240l-cpu-water-cooling/ The Glacer 240L is one of the best liquid cooling solutions on the market today. It's the result of a collaboration between Cooler Master and Swiftech to create a CPU cooler with the simplicity of an all-in-one, pre-filled water cooler, and the performance and upgradability of a custom water cooling loop So basically the choice is yours. You can use it the way it comes (even the mounting hardware for Intel is pre-installed) or you can add more radiators, GPU blocks, extra pumps, the works and turn it into a full-fledged water cooler.

I have been doing some research on an good, affordable 360mm AIO and it seems the best option for me at this point is the H320. But the problem is, I can't find it anywhere as it seems that PC case gear and Scorptec have stopped stocking them. If anyone can find somewhere in Aus that sells them (preferably not ebay) please post a link. Thanks

This is a strange one. So, Swiftech are having a sale on their MCR-H220 Radiator. It's the radiator and fans off of an H220. Sounds like a strange prospect. They are being sold as-is, and anyone looking to save a bit on their watercooling loop or looking to expand their H220 can take advantage of this. Remember, you get a 240mm radiator for $39.99 along with fans. From Swiftech themselves. The deal exists while supplies last only though. More information can be found on the product page. The original price is, according to the Swiftech website, $71.34 http://www.swiftech.com/MCR-H220-RADIATOR.aspx

Last night I installed the CM Glacer 240L in my 900D with four Corsair SP120 (The High Performance Ones) hooked into one of the NZXT Fan Hubs (So no PWM fan control, even if the fans had four pins.) with the low voltage adapters on all of them. The cooler itself is perfectly fine so far, however the noise is unbearable... and I'm not horribly picky about noise levels. So, I'm not sure if it's something like fan/case vibration or if the fans are really just that loud, but when I unplug the fan hub and then boot the system for around fifteen seconds, it's nearly silent (or at the very least comparable to the noise level of my system prior to the LCS) with just the pump running. Anyway, I guess my question is this: How do I go about dampening the noise from these fans? At idle, the noise level is around 50-55 dB, and the room's natural ambient noise falls around 30-40 dB. Currently, the only thing I can think of is to pick up some rubber grommets or a fan silencer. Also, If it matters at all, the fans are currently only being held in by two screws on each fan in a criss-cross pattern.

Hi, I currently have a major issue and wondering what to do. I have a white air 540 case, Swiftech H320, and a 290 Tri-X. Annoyingly the rad won't fit in the front because of the 12 inch gpu. I have a few options. I can either sell the case and buy a enthoo primo? or sell the cooler and buy the Silverstone TD02 as that would look pretty smart with the white case and Dominator Platinum RAM. Thoughts?

I've been thinking about water cooling for awhile now, but my case is so small I'll have to mount a rad externally. That's fine, but I'm concerned about situations where I'd have to move my computer around, in which case the external rad (I was thinking 3x120mm) would be a huge pain, so I'd like to have an easy way to disconnect the "main loop" and external rad while still being able to (less efficiently) cool my PC. For the CPU (I only have the stock air cooler on it now...) I'd like to get an Apogee XL. I was trying to find solutions for a sort of "custom" All-In-One so that if needed I could disconnect it from the main loop (with the large external rad) and instead connect it to a single 120mm rad mounted in the rear fan slot of the case. The CPU would be the only component connected to it in this configuration, so I'd think it should be able to handle cooling it fine. Unfortunately, this means that the 120mm rad would have to have an integrated pump (instead of pump on the CPU block like most AIOs) and I just can't find one in this size. I essentially want something just like the Swiftech H220-X but as a single 120mm unit. I've found an Aquacomputer radiator/pump single 140mm unit and I even saw that at one point Swiftech was considering an H220-X unit in a single 140mm size, but my case is very small and wouldn't even be able to fit a 140mm size unit in the back. I have no place/room to mount it in the top/front/bottom either, so that's really my only choice. Does anyone now of a single 120mm rad/pump unit or has anyone tried to make something similar on their own? Do you think I could cannibalize the Aquacomputer 140mm unit and replace the fan/rad with a 120mm one, or is it not able to come apart like that? However, both it and the H220X come with a beefy D5 pump, and I really don't think I'd need that for a single CPU so any sort of custom/Jerry-rigged solution could use a much cheaper/smaller pump. Any other suggetions? If I get something like this working, would it be worth it to connect it to the main loop when I'm using the "full" water cooling capabilitiy to give it a small "boost" in performance, or leave it as just a single D5 pump + 3x120mm external rad? Edit: Just found this Swiftech MCR-X20 dual/tri 120mm rad/pump unit - does anyone know if I could get that and attach the pump unit to a 120mm rad instead? For the GPU I'm really liking the idea of the Asus Poseidon which can be both air/water cooled - I could easily disconnect it from the water loop and it can still be air cooled without having to change anything out (though I probably would want to drain it out first, right?). In the US it seems that only the Poseidon 780 (Platinum?) - does anyone know if I could get that and attach the pump unit to a 120mm rad instead? For the GPU I'm really liking the idea of the Asus Poseidon which can be both air/water cooled - I could easily disconnect it from the water loop and it can still be air cooled without having to change anything out (though I probably would want to drain it out first, right?). In the US it seems that only the Poseidon 780 (Platinum?) has been released, but on Asus' website it also lists a Poseidon 770 (Platinum) version which I would be much more interested in, especially if I could get 2 for somwhere in the range of $300-400 for SLI. I have seen this for sale on a few UK sites (as well as Amazon UK) but with the exchange rate and shipping it'd be almost as much as the 780 so not worth it at all. Does anyone know if Asus is planning to release the Poseidon 770 in the US? Also, is it typical for Asus to only release certain products in certain regions like that? I'd never heard of that before for graphics cards. Edit 2: For those interested my case is a yellow Super Blade Color (also pictured in my current avatar). Its a Mid Tower (I think) case, so not very big, and some might think its a bit... gaudy, but I really wanted a predominantly yellow case (there really only a few out there) and I liked the look of the front panel. TL;DR in bold -
So I have the buzzing issue with my Swiftech H220, and I was wondering how people were able to fix it. I think it's just air trapped in my pump, but I'm not entirely sure. I tried all the remedies suggested by Swiftech and they didn't work, so I requested an RMA. They basically told me to screw off and deal with it as it is "normal" and should operate like this. But, it is VERY loud and clearly audible, even with headphones on. Clearly, it shouldn't be like this. So does anyone have a way to fix this? I'm really upset with how their customer service is and how the unit is behaving. I was expecting great things, and then I got this. As a side note, are ~70C temps under full load with a 4770k 4.3Ghz 1.26v normal? Or do they seem a bit high? I was expecting them to be a bit lower.

Hi, I currently have a Swiftech H320 which has a 360mm radiator with 3 fans of 120mm each in a pull configuration which pulls air from outside from my 4790K. The thing I need to ask is that is there any other AIO cooler which has a 360mm radiator which needs 3 fans? Or if I for example change my Swiftech fans to some other lets say the Bitfenix Spectre Pro will my cooler have a performance decrease or increase? Thanks
