 The truly remarkable thing about the H220X all-in-one liquid cooler from Swift Tech is the value. I mean, okay, yes, it's one of the most expensive all-in-one water coolers on the market, but the stuff that you get for your money is phenomenal. The Jazz Mini phone and tablet stand from Cooler Master is now available in a variety of cool colors from these great retailers. Click now to learn more. So let's kick things off with a physical tour, and while we're going through this, I'm going to have a running total of what it would cost us to build something comparable as like a DIY liquid cooling kit that you piece together with aftermarket parts. So the included CPU block is the Apogee XL, which features flagship class performance, swappable color plates to match your system, and Swift Tech's fantastic high-quality mounting hardware. Connecting it to the rest of the unit is a pair of metal swivel fittings and some black kink-resistant 3-eighths inch tubing that's secured to the fittings with some really nice metal hose clamps. On to the rest of the unit, we find a significant departure from the traditional AIO approach. Instead of putting the pump on top of the block, Swift Tech has integrated their new MCP30 pump and a basic windowed acrylic reservoir directly onto the copper and brass dual 120mm radiator that will mount in the top of your case. On the radiator, we discover two of Swift Tech's Helix PWM fans that are pre-installed, a nice touch, and a push orientation that will require no adjustment if you want to draw air into the top of your chassis, but can be reversed in a couple of minutes if you prefer to use internal case air to cool your water loop and exhaust it. In terms of accessories, Swift Tech includes thermal compound, all the mounting hardware that you need for LGA 1155, 1150, 1156, all that good stuff, extra hardware for Intel LGA 2011 and AMD sockets, and finally, and this is a really great inclusion, an 8-port PWM fan splitter that uses SATA for power and the CPU header on the motherboard to control speed. So, your whole system, the pump is also PWM compliant, by the way, can have performance and noise levels adjusted dynamically according to CPU temps, depending on how you set up the fan profile on your motherboard. Very, very cool and very intuitive. Alright, so some of these things were probably a little bit overkill and actually aren't needed with competing all-in-one liquid cooler designs because of how tightly integrated they are, but the point here is not the base functionality, but rather the fact that you're getting expandability and truly enthusiast class water cooling gear in an AIO. I mean, most all-in-one water coolers are sealed because they need to be sealed. The pumps wouldn't work with more components in the loop or a larger radiator, or the tubing is permanently attached to plastic barbs to save the cost of the fittings and clamps. Not the case here. You can install it out of the box more easily than most air coolers, let alone other all-in-ones, since that LGA 1150 hold down and back plate, as well as the radiator fans are all pre-installed. Just screw the fans into the top of your case with the fan screws, apply thermal compound and screw the block onto the back plate, or you can tear it apart and go to town adding more blocks, radiators, and what have you, because the components, particularly the pump, have performance to spare. But of course, all of this is a complete moot point if it doesn't perform the way Swift Tech promises, so we're going to throw it in our test system and let you guys know how it does out of the box. First off, I want to talk about their awesome little included fan controller. It has to be plugged into the CPU header and it will only read the RPM of the first fan plugged in. That's the fan that's plugged into the red cap slot on the PWM fan controller. It will read the RPM of that fan and then distribute power to each different header, depending on how that fan is being read. So if you want it giving that fan 100% power, all the fans on the controller will get 100% power. In terms of acoustics, it's actually better than I thought. I was pretty worried about the pump being mounted on the radiator, as I thought you would hear a lot of vibration from that. But especially with the Noctua fans installed, with their little sound dampening brown rubber grommets on them, there wasn't really that big of a deal. And even with the Swift Tech fans installed, as long as you install it tightly, you won't really notice. The pump is much better than I believe it was on the original H220, and it doesn't make as much of an impact in terms of noise. In terms of aesthetic, I think it looks nice, but due to the looks nice and extra features, you may have problems mounting it in certain situations. I wouldn't worry too much about stuff like motherboard compatibility, because the hang-off on the radiator is going to be far away from your motherboard, but I would worry about mounting it pretty much anywhere other than the very top of your case. This probably won't be that big of a deal for you, because you're probably going to mount it in the top of your case anyways, so this probably doesn't matter. But if you're going to do something like Linus did in the 4K Ultimate Build Guide, and mount it in say, the front, it could be a problem, as you're probably not going to be able to mount it there in most cases. The tubing will also come to play with compatibility. Again, this isn't nearly as long as the tubing on the original H220, but I kind of like that. The original H220 had some pretty ridiculous tubing length, and this again probably will cause issues if you try to mount it anywhere other than the top of the case, but as I see most of you are probably going to be installing it in the top of the case, it's probably not a huge deal, and I do really like the thickness and flexibility of the tubing at the same time. In terms of performance, we're running our standard test bench, a 4820K with 1.3 volts applied running at 4.0 GHz, and a 6870 reference card, which will both be running Prime95 and Combuster respectively. Also, I swapped out the standard fans for Noctua NF-F12s, as we normally do, and it performed great. I was a little bit worried due to the pump and the flow meter and stuff conflicting with airflow on the radiator, but it didn't seem to affect it that much, as the only cooler that beat it was a 2x140mm cooler, which should have. If this beat a 2x140mm cooler, I probably would have redone my testing a few more times. So I'm happy to see it did really well, and happy to see it is the successor of the original H220. It's good to see all these high-performance parts in one big package. Alright guys, thanks for watching. Let me know what you think about this... Hey, can you do me a favor? I'm not a Razer, so can you run to the store and grab me some? No, not in my job description. Okay. Um, well, this is a little awkward. When I get back, can you help me shave the spots I can't reach? Definitely not in my job description at all. Oh, okay. Well, then I guess you're fired. I'll finish up the conclusion here. See ya. That's bullsh**, but I quit, so it's cool. He thinks he quit. I fired him. And that, my friends, is why you should always use Dollar Shave Club. With Dollar Shave Club, you never have to worry about putting your friends or coworkers in an awkward position by asking them to do something they shouldn't need to do, like going to the store to buy razors.
