Swiftech Releases the H220-X CPU Liquid Cooling Kit

Rouchon Industries Inc., dba Swiftech today announced the release of the H220-X all-in-one CPU liquid cooling kit. The patent pending H220-X liquid cooling system is Swiftech's next generation all-in-one CPU cooler featuring a dual 120 mm copper radiator coupled to an enthusiast grade pump and water-block.

As in previous Swiftech offerings, the product remains entirely focused on low to inaudible operating noise with extreme thermal performance, and it is engineered to appeal to the broadest possible spectrum of performance oriented users ranging from casual to hard-core enthusiasts. For casual users, the kit is shipped factory pre-filled, ready for plug-and-play installation, and it is maintenance free during its three year warranty period. For enthusiast users, the kit can be fully customized thanks to easily replaceable tubing and fittings, and its powerful pump can easily support additional components such as graphics cards and/or extra radiator(s).
The H220-X leverages Swiftech's patent pending technology initially developed for the MCR-X20 Drive series of radiators, in which the pump is fully integrated into the radiator instead of being built into the waterblock. It features a compact dual 120 mm copper and brass radiator, a built-in backlit reservoir with visible coolant level, and Swiftech's recently released flagship Apogee XL waterblock for extreme cooling performance.

Gabriel Rouchon, Swiftech's chairman and CEO declared: "Our patent pending technology is the result of years of development and it clearly demonstrates Swiftech's ability to think outside the box. The H220-X CPU cooling kit embodies everything we stand for at Swiftech: innovation, performance, quality, and most importantly an unwavering dedication to our customers. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the entire staff at Swiftech for the passion and perseverance that have led us to this moment. Development of the H220-X has allowed us to implement several enhancements to the pump that is also at the heart of the original H220 kit, and the H220 will continue to be marketed in regions where intellectual property rights are not disputed; in the end, both H220 and H220-X have greatly benefited from these efforts, and I look forward to see them fill different market niches based on users tastes and preferences".

MSRP: $139.95

yea accept the NH-D15 can block the primary expansion slot which depending on the motherboard can mean NO GPU period or blocks the primary x16 in some cases which makes SLI / Xfire impossible same goes with Artic cooling for the GPU so in reality depending on the setup High end air and aftermarket GPU cooling are not an option.

nekrikClosed premade Loops sucks donkey ass!!! Both from performance and built quality point of view. If you are going to cool some expensive and high end hardware like let's say Asus rampage IV BE + i7 4960X etc, better to make your own custom loop !!
I love my Antec H2O 920 and i'd never be able to achieve such temperatures with any air cooler. Especially because i have no room to work with over the CPU socket. But with closed loop, water block is a tiny thing on top of a CPU and the huge radiator is on the front of the case. It's cooling my Core i7 920 at 4GHz easily even with low fan speeds. I'd never go back to air cooling.

Apogee XL block is amazing, can't wait to see some reviews

I already saw this internal mini review and it looks very interesting

Current H90 p/p mod just isn't enough for 4770k@ 4.7ghz 1.28v in the summer.. Ok Im still below 70C while gaming but other stuff is not so good :)

Im thinking of H220-X or maybe 280mm variant if I tweak the top CM HAF932 with extra 2x 140mm holes., It has room for 280mm but only 240mm holes heh, something like CoolerMaster own Nepton 280L would fit though, with push fans bellow the rad..
But yeah this Swiftech looks more HQ in general, maybe gonna add a 3rd fan on the left side bellow for extra push outside. :pimp:

What makes the pump better for being in a cooler and not CPU block? The pumps were already tiny and took pretty much no space at all. They could make them 3 times bigger still and not compromise anything. So, why is this better?

Pump on the block is a Asetek patent, which prevent Swiftech from selling the H220 in US.
They had to come up with a design that will bypass and use there new Apogee XL waterblock.

How well? Can you run x264FHD benchmark and report temps? ie 4.7ghz @ ~1.28v if you have it stable there.

got up to 74c for cpu package with case fans set to low and pump/radiator fans set to performance in bios. got same with everything cranked up. i may need to reseat the cpu block and reapply tim hmmm..

That is @ 4.6ghz 2 1.281v with windows performance mode

ooh at 4.7 i got same package temp of 74c max. but one of the cores got up to 75c. i am just gonna keep going up 100mhz increments heh.
