Swiftech H240x

Hello guys.

I want to change my corsair H110 with the Swiftech H240x.

Worth it?

will I see any difference?

Definitely not worth it, I'd be surprised if you see any better performance at all and that is coming from a swiftech fanboy. The only reason I'd see upgrading to a swiftech AIO is if you also plan on getting a GPU block and doing a custom loop.

No, the performance is nearly identical.

If you want something better buy a custom watercooling kit and build your own loop with a 360mm rad or more.

Thank you guys.

I will go for a custom loop with 360 rad.

If you are upgrading so you can have a larger loop, swiftech would give you the option to add extra rads and waterblocks for gpus. This is due to the pump being quite a bit more powerful than needed for the loop. The selling point is actually the quiet fans/pump (for its efficiency) and it can be controlled by pwm.

If you are just switching between one aio to another (without any modification), there actually will be a change but, it is within 5 or so degrees; which for most people is negligible.

I honestly don't see a need for you to upgrade your cooling, unless you are having temp issues. Since you are thinking of going to a 360mm in a custom loop, you could do a swiftech with an extra rad instead. Just check costs and how much you want and go for the cheaper alternative.
