00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:16.359
welcome to my unboxing and first look at the swifttech

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:20.119
h220 this is by any accounts that we've

00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:23.240
seen the Next Generation in all-in-one

00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:27.920
CPU coolers because this Bridges the Gap

00:00:23.240 --> 00:00:29.519
in a true way between a regular allinone

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

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:36.079
acitech lclc where it's pre-filled

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:39.480
pre-sealed non-expandable it was kind of tricky to

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:44.280
install in terms of the mounting hardware and that other stuff and this

00:00:42.120 --> 00:00:49.160
Bridges the gap between that that pre-filled easy to install relatively

00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:55.640
you know you don't have to replace it thing and a truly custom

00:00:52.960 --> 00:01:00.079
Loop so it comes in an eco-friendly packaging you've got cardboard here and

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:04.519
uh just a sec guys we'll be right back back so beyond the eco-friendly

00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:07.680
packaging we move on to what's included the first thing you're going to notice

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

00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:16.720
about before where we actually checked this out in the swifttech suite at CES

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

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:26.200
to say something like next Generation in pre-done liquid coolers because it has

00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:31.000
the horses to back up the claims that swifttech is making about this unit so

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:36.640
how does it function as a straight allinone well you've got the mounting

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:38.920
hardware not only included but actually

00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:43.240
pre-attached for Intel and then they include the mounting hardware that you

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:49.119
need for AMD so here we've got just a powdercoated uh screw based mechanism so

00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.200
that'll go into presumably the uh the

00:01:49.119 --> 00:01:56.439
back plate that's included with your AMD motherboard so those are using very very

00:01:53.960 --> 00:02:00.600
uh rugged mounting Springs it swifttech does such a good job of their mounting

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

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:10.239
then screw them in so okay now let's

00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:14.400
move on to the included one so this covers pretty much any Intel mounting

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:21.599
mechanism that you'd encounter whether it's 775 1155 1156 and 2011 with the

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:26.280
only changes being you would have to change out the screws here for 2011 due

00:02:24.239 --> 00:02:30.640
to the differing mounting pressure and the different threads compared to the

00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:33.920
included back plate that is used for all of the other sockets now one of the

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.160
first things I noticed about the block itself I didn't have much Hands-On time

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

00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:46.599
very very nice to see because normally they're stiff now the way these joints

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:50.080
work is they have to stay sealed no matter what kind of pressure you're

00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:54.200
putting on it from this direction or that direction they're swiveling on the

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:58.840
radiator as well they go all the way around on the radiator so they have to

00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:03.280
stay sealed and they have to also not put any additional strain on the fitting

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.159
which can cause it over time to leak so having them so flexible like that just

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

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:15.319
important design differences between this and swifttech has done previous

00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:21.480
sort of all-in-one liquid coolers like their Drive series is that it uses a

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:23.159
swifttech designed and manufactured pump

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:28.080
so unlike what everyone else is doing where they're pretty much oeming through

00:03:25.440 --> 00:03:34.200
coolit or acch or I believe Cooler Master also manufactures their own

00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:36.080
swifttech is now a manufacturer of pumps

00:03:34.200 --> 00:03:39.879
not a rebrander of pumps so in the past swifttech even was using Lang for the

00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:44.040
pumps for their all-in-one liquid coolers so now you find a completely

00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:49.480
redone design all by swifttech with a swifttech base plate a swifttech pump

00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:51.640
swifttech design fittings and uh special

00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:55.640
tubing and even hold Downs for the tubing itself so check out this hold

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

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:03.280
a very slight bulge

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

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:11.239
clamp actually fastens down all the way tight so you don't really have to think

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

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:19.000
overtighten and not under tighten so it can't actually go anywhere but the thing

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:23.759
about this is it uses a standard Philips head so if you wanted to clearly labeled

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

00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:33.160
wanted to you can actually remove this and Plum it up to a completely custom

00:04:30.840 --> 00:04:38.199
water loop which is an option that the existing products on the market don't

00:04:36.080 --> 00:04:42.479
really have because you can't really drain them you can't really refill them

00:04:40.400 --> 00:04:46.400
this one has a drain plug on the radiator itself it has completely

00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:52.479
removable tubing with fittings that can be reused with other industry standard

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:53.880
38 inch tubing and reusable clamps so

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.960
after you open up the drain plug you want to refill it you refill the whole

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

00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:29.319
you've actually refilled it swifttech also takes things a step in the right

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:33.319
direction I Believe by pre-installing the fan on the radiator itself in the

00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:39.039
orientation where they expect you to use it they also include the screws that you

00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.919
need to mount the here we go which ones

00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:44.080
are these I haven't looked closely at this

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

00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:52.400
case remember Guys these fittings up here swivel around completely so to

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

00:05:55.960 --> 00:06:01.160
the fans directly to the case whichever you prefer you want to use it as an

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

00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:09.479
pre-installed and you just screw the screws into the fan plastic housings

00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:13.199
themselves rather than all the way through as a bolt through to the

00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:16.400
radiator just means that you don't have to we've all gone through this

00:06:14.919 --> 00:06:19.479
installing these predone liquid coolers where you hold this in place and you

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

00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:27.400
have their own custom fans installed on here so these are fully sleeved look

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

00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:35.560
pw4 pin fans and based on the performance and noise characteristics

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

00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:44.880
freaking awesome I mean you can tell the way that they're designed they are

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:49.039
optimized for pressure not necessarily for free airflow but uh that is exactly

00:06:47.599 --> 00:06:54.160
the application that they're being used in although this radiator does use a

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:58.800
fairly um like not a super dense fin Arrangement so it is optimized for quiet

00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:04.400
operation as opposed to being optimized for extreme performance with like Delta

00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:06.879
fans on it for example now I'd be remiss

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

00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:14.440
been doing water blocks for as long as pretty much anybody else out there so

00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:19.840
they do know a thing or two about designing a water block um a thing two

00:07:18.039 --> 00:07:23.840
or two about Precision manufacturing them and a thing or two about making it

00:07:21.919 --> 00:07:27.639
difficult to remove the plastic covering until you've actually unscrewed the base

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

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:35.919
reflective that surfaces I mean remember reflectivity is not necessarily an

00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:40.599
indication of performance but you got that diesel yeah he says he's got it uh

00:07:38.479 --> 00:07:45.520
but it can't hurt swifttech also includes a highquality thermal compound

00:07:42.919 --> 00:07:49.800
this looks like a shinetsu tube but I actually have no way of knowing for sure

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

00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.319
the thermal compounds out there are sort of a few different brands but uh

00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:01.159
swifttech assured me this is one of the better ones out there and I think that

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:05.319
pretty much covers it in terms of the unboxing so what's good about this in

00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:10.319
the swifttech booth they had their custom pump running not only the CPU

00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:14.960
block and the radiator that was included but also additional blocks such as

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:18.319
graphics card blocks or even a built-in water block like something you might

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:21.919
find on a Maximus 5 formula which we happen to have over on the test bench

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:25.039
over there with Slick's empty drink glass next to it way to go slick mind

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

00:08:29.080 --> 00:08:36.000
they had an additional radiator running through it and it was still holding up

00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:40.880
just fine that's the reason why the other manufacturers don't want you to

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:45.200
expand your pre-done liquid cooling Loop because the pump isn't capable of

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:50.279
powering it well this one can and it actually runs off of a four pin pwm

00:08:47.560 --> 00:08:55.320
connector speaking of fan connectors swifttech also includes this guy right

00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:57.600
here which is freaking sweet so this is

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

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

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

00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:13.480
controller for monitoring and you can hook up up to eight fans and just run

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

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

00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:27.760
but swifttech figures well why should that be tied to a case go ahead strap it

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:31.240
to something screw it into something not those screws different screws these

00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:34.839
screws screw it into something whatever you want hook up all your fans to one

00:09:33.160 --> 00:09:39.360
place because it makes it easier for monitoring and controlling thank you for

00:09:36.959 --> 00:09:45.040
checking out my unboxing and first look at the swifttech

00:09:40.760 --> 00:09:47.000
h220 prefilled prefabbed pre-installed

00:09:45.040 --> 00:09:50.920
almost with the fans on there liquid cooling system stay tuned guys we are

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:55.440
going to do a performance review on this one in our standard test bench and see

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:59.399
how it Stacks up away from swifttech testing setup although based on how

00:09:57.800 --> 00:10:03.279
closely I looked at their testing setup I think we're going to get pretty much

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:06.720
the same results but uh hey that's what third party validation is for don't

00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:11.680
