Finished Looks

When it comes to all-in-one liquid coolers, the Swiftech H220 X2 will certainly turn a few heads, but it lacks the premium feel of the Prestige or EK Predator. Its looks are clean and the build quality is just as good as with the other two units. The main differences are in the cheaper fans and lack of compression fittings. As with the Prestige, the H220 X2 cannot operate in a push/pull configuration.


I myself am not fond of white fans, but they do add a nice bit of contrast to break up the radiator's, pump's, and reservoir's solid black look. Thankfully, LEDs further improve on that if you are a fan of them.


As with most AIO liquid coolers, clearance is very good. There are no obstructions around the socket to speak of, and as expected, the block and tubing won't get in the way of a graphics card in a mini-ITX system.


The ALED system offers users a wide range of color options—blue, green, red, purple, yellow, orange, rainbow, etc. This allows users to adjust the color of Swiftech's H220 X2 to their PC build. It is definitely a nice feature since it can also be turned off if you are not a fan of LED lighting. Swiftech also went that extra step by providing three settings per color for you to dial down the intensity.
