00:00:08,040 --> 00:00:16,359
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the swifttech

2
00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:20,119
h220 this is by any accounts that we've

3
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:23,240
seen the Next Generation in all-in-one

4
00:00:20,119 --> 00:00:27,920
CPU coolers because this Bridges the Gap

5
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:29,519
in a true way between a regular allinone

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:34,640
which is what we've seen in the past so the original all-in-one was kind of the

7
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,079
acitech lclc where it's pre-filled

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,480
pre-sealed non-expandable it was kind of tricky to

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:44,280
install in terms of the mounting hardware and that other stuff and this

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:49,160
Bridges the gap between that that pre-filled easy to install relatively

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:55,640
you know you don't have to replace it thing and a truly custom

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:00,079
Loop so it comes in an eco-friendly packaging you've got cardboard here and

13
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:04,519
uh just a sec guys we'll be right back back so beyond the eco-friendly

14
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,680
packaging we move on to what's included the first thing you're going to notice

15
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,720
about this is it looks an awful lot like something that I've already done a video

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:16,720
about before where we actually checked this out in the swifttech suite at CES

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:21,439
and we pretty much know how it's going to perform already which is why I'm able

18
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:26,200
to say something like next Generation in pre-done liquid coolers because it has

19
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:31,000
the horses to back up the claims that swifttech is making about this unit so

20
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:36,640
how does it function as a straight allinone well you've got the mounting

21
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,920
hardware not only included but actually

22
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:43,240
pre-attached for Intel and then they include the mounting hardware that you

23
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:49,119
need for AMD so here we've got just a powdercoated uh screw based mechanism so

24
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:51,200
that'll go into presumably the uh the

25
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:56,439
back plate that's included with your AMD motherboard so those are using very very

26
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:00,600
uh rugged mounting Springs it swifttech does such a good job of their mounting

27
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:08,360
mechanisms so these look like all you got to do is what yeah AIX them here and

28
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:10,239
then screw them in so okay now let's

29
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:14,400
move on to the included one so this covers pretty much any Intel mounting

30
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:21,599
mechanism that you'd encounter whether it's 775 1155 1156 and 2011 with the

31
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:26,280
only changes being you would have to change out the screws here for 2011 due

32
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,640
to the differing mounting pressure and the different threads compared to the

33
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,920
included back plate that is used for all of the other sockets now one of the

34
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:38,160
first things I noticed about the block itself I didn't have much Hands-On time

35
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:43,400
with it when I was in the suite at CES is how freely these joints rotate it's

36
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,599
very very nice to see because normally they're stiff now the way these joints

37
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,080
work is they have to stay sealed no matter what kind of pressure you're

38
00:02:47,959 --> 00:02:54,200
putting on it from this direction or that direction they're swiveling on the

39
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:58,840
radiator as well they go all the way around on the radiator so they have to

40
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:03,280
stay sealed and they have to also not put any additional strain on the fitting

41
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:06,159
which can cause it over time to leak so having them so flexible like that just

42
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:10,200
means that you're not going to run into any difficulty with that one of the most

43
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:15,319
important design differences between this and swifttech has done previous

44
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:21,480
sort of all-in-one liquid coolers like their Drive series is that it uses a

45
00:03:17,959 --> 00:03:23,159
swifttech designed and manufactured pump

46
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:28,080
so unlike what everyone else is doing where they're pretty much oeming through

47
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:34,200
coolit or acch or I believe Cooler Master also manufactures their own

48
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:36,080
swifttech is now a manufacturer of pumps

49
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,879
not a rebrander of pumps so in the past swifttech even was using Lang for the

50
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:44,040
pumps for their all-in-one liquid coolers so now you find a completely

51
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:49,480
redone design all by swifttech with a swifttech base plate a swifttech pump

52
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,640
swifttech design fittings and uh special

53
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:55,640
tubing and even hold Downs for the tubing itself so check out this hold

54
00:03:53,280 --> 00:04:01,120
down here they're using a custom sort of like a worm Drive clamp where you've got

55
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,280
a very slight bulge

56
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:07,760
right here so you can see the lip on the fitting itself and the way that the

57
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:11,239
clamp actually fastens down all the way tight so you don't really have to think

58
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,959
about the way that you're mounting it so that it will form a perfect seal not

59
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:19,000
overtighten and not under tighten so it can't actually go anywhere but the thing

60
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:23,759
about this is it uses a standard Philips head so if you wanted to clearly labeled

61
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:28,440
in and out on the other side presumably nope just the inlet is labeled so if you

62
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:33,160
wanted to you can actually remove this and Plum it up to a completely custom

63
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:38,199
water loop which is an option that the existing products on the market don't

64
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:42,479
really have because you can't really drain them you can't really refill them

65
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:46,400
this one has a drain plug on the radiator itself it has completely

66
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:52,479
removable tubing with fittings that can be reused with other industry standard

67
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,880
38 inch tubing and reusable clamps so

68
00:04:52,479 --> 00:04:59,000
that you don't have to worry about sort of damaging in any way I actually did

69
00:04:56,199 --> 00:05:03,600
empty and refill a generation 1 lclc but it was a bit of a be so the drain plug

70
00:05:01,479 --> 00:05:08,039
is here on the radiator so the radiator has a built-in sort of extra part here

71
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,639
that's uh kind of a reservoir it has a little bit of extra room in it so it's

72
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,720
not a ton of extra fluid but it'll be pretty much all you'll need so if you

73
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:18,280
were going to drain it you just take the whole thing and go like this pretty much

74
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,960
after you open up the drain plug you want to refill it you refill the whole

75
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:25,400
thing with it oriented like this get it as full as you can and there you go

76
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:29,319
you've actually refilled it swifttech also takes things a step in the right

77
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:33,319
direction I Believe by pre-installing the fan on the radiator itself in the

78
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:39,039
orientation where they expect you to use it they also include the screws that you

79
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,919
need to mount the here we go which ones

80
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:44,080
are these I haven't looked closely at this

81
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,639
yet but it looks like yeah to mount the radiator directly to the case so in that

82
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:52,400
case remember Guys these fittings up here swivel around completely so to

83
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:57,919
mount the radiator directly to the case or to mount da da da da flip this around

84
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,160
the fans directly to the case whichever you prefer you want to use it as an

85
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:04,639
inlet or an outlet that is totally up to you and the fact that the fans are

86
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:09,479
pre-installed and you just screw the screws into the fan plastic housings

87
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:13,199
themselves rather than all the way through as a bolt through to the

88
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,400
radiator just means that you don't have to we've all gone through this

89
00:06:14,919 --> 00:06:19,479
installing these predone liquid coolers where you hold this in place and you

90
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,080
align the fan and then you thread the screw and you try to get it in they also

91
00:06:21,199 --> 00:06:27,400
have their own custom fans installed on here so these are fully sleeved look

92
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:32,440
absolutely gorgeous in fact let's get a closeup of the uh of the sleeve they're

93
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:35,560
pw4 pin fans and based on the performance and noise characteristics

94
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:41,479
that we saw in the swifttech suite at CES I am expecting these fans to be just

95
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,880
freaking awesome I mean you can tell the way that they're designed they are

96
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:49,039
optimized for pressure not necessarily for free airflow but uh that is exactly

97
00:06:47,599 --> 00:06:54,160
the application that they're being used in although this radiator does use a

98
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:58,800
fairly um like not a super dense fin Arrangement so it is optimized for quiet

99
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:04,400
operation as opposed to being optimized for extreme performance with like Delta

100
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,879
fans on it for example now I'd be remiss

101
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:11,039
if I didn't do the obligatory uh finger shot of the base I mean Swift Tech's

102
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:14,440
been doing water blocks for as long as pretty much anybody else out there so

103
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:19,840
they do know a thing or two about designing a water block um a thing two

104
00:07:18,039 --> 00:07:23,840
or two about Precision manufacturing them and a thing or two about making it

105
00:07:21,919 --> 00:07:27,639
difficult to remove the plastic covering until you've actually unscrewed the base

106
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:31,280
plate so there you go I'm just going to go ahead and show you guys how

107
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:35,919
reflective that surfaces I mean remember reflectivity is not necessarily an

108
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:40,599
indication of performance but you got that diesel yeah he says he's got it uh

109
00:07:38,479 --> 00:07:45,520
but it can't hurt swifttech also includes a highquality thermal compound

110
00:07:42,919 --> 00:07:49,800
this looks like a shinetsu tube but I actually have no way of knowing for sure

111
00:07:46,919 --> 00:07:53,680
it could also be an MX uh derivative of some po some some sort I mean most of

112
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,319
the thermal compounds out there are sort of a few different brands but uh

113
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,159
swifttech assured me this is one of the better ones out there and I think that

114
00:07:59,199 --> 00:08:05,319
pretty much covers it in terms of the unboxing so what's good about this in

115
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:10,319
the swifttech booth they had their custom pump running not only the CPU

116
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:14,960
block and the radiator that was included but also additional blocks such as

117
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,319
graphics card blocks or even a built-in water block like something you might

118
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:21,919
find on a Maximus 5 formula which we happen to have over on the test bench

119
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:25,039
over there with Slick's empty drink glass next to it way to go slick mind

120
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:31,000
you he didn't know we were going to point the camera over there um so you can actually Plum up additional blocks

121
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:36,000
they had an additional radiator running through it and it was still holding up

122
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:40,880
just fine that's the reason why the other manufacturers don't want you to

123
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:45,200
expand your pre-done liquid cooling Loop because the pump isn't capable of

124
00:08:42,560 --> 00:08:50,279
powering it well this one can and it actually runs off of a four pin pwm

125
00:08:47,560 --> 00:08:55,320
connector speaking of fan connectors swifttech also includes this guy right

126
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:57,600
here which is freaking sweet so this is

127
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,920
actually an eight-way so channel one is labeled and it's got a red little thing

128
00:08:58,959 --> 00:09:05,760
on it so this is actually an eight-way pwm fan splitter what it does is you

129
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:10,040
just plug in Molex power and then you plug it up plug it into a pwm fan

130
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,480
controller for monitoring and you can hook up up to eight fans and just run

131
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:18,560
them all somewhere in your case I've seen this included on cases here I'm going to give a closeup for diesel to

132
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:23,120
have a look at I've seen this included on cases like the Phantom 630 from NZXT

133
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:27,760
but swifttech figures well why should that be tied to a case go ahead strap it

134
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:31,240
to something screw it into something not those screws different screws these

135
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:34,839
screws screw it into something whatever you want hook up all your fans to one

136
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:39,360
place because it makes it easier for monitoring and controlling thank you for

137
00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:45,040
checking out my unboxing and first look at the swifttech

138
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:47,000
h220 prefilled prefabbed pre-installed

139
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:50,920
almost with the fans on there liquid cooling system stay tuned guys we are

140
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:55,440
going to do a performance review on this one in our standard test bench and see

141
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:59,399
how it Stacks up away from swifttech testing setup although based on how

142
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:03,279
closely I looked at their testing setup I think we're going to get pretty much

143
00:10:00,959 --> 00:10:06,720
the same results but uh hey that's what third party validation is for don't
