Swiftech introduced the second-generation of its flagship CPU water-blocks, the Apogee XL2. These blocks are characterized by clear acrylic tops, and an RGB multi-color LED peeking out of a Swiftech logo in the center. Swiftech redesigned the coolant channel to have reduced flow restriction compared to the previous generation Apogee XL block by 5%. Swiftech is including its Iris RGB LED controller that lets you program the LED. A tube of Apogee HD thermal interface material comes included. The block supports G1/4 fittings; and all modern CPU socket types, including LGA2011x, LGA115x, LGA1366, AM3(+), and FM2(+). The block is priced at US $49.95, and $44.95 without the Iris module.
