the truly remarkable thing about the h220x all-on-one liquid cooler from
swifttech 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 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 a DIY
liquid cooling kit that you piece together with aftermarket parts so the
included CPU block is the Apple gxl which features Flagship class
performance swappable color plates to match your system and Swift Tech's
fantastic highquality mounting hardware connecting it to the rest of the unit is
a pair of metal swivel fittings and some black kink consistent 38 in tubing
that's secured to the fittings with some really nice metal hose clamps onto the
rest of the unit we find a significant departure from the traditional AO
approach instead of putting the pump on top of the block swifttech has
integrated their new mcp30 pump and a basic windowed acrylic Reservoir
directly onto the copper and brass dual 120 mm radiator that will mount in the
top of your case on the radiator we discover two of Swift's Helix pwm fans
that are pre-installed a nice touch in 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 accessory swifttech 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 a 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 all right so
some of these things were probably a little bit Overkill and actually aren't
needed with competing allinone liquid cooler design 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 aiio 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 the that LGA 1150 hold down in 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 teack 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 uh 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
swifttech 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 lonus 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 220 but I kind of like that the original 220 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 Prime 95 and combuster respectively also I swapped out the
standard fans for Noctua uh NF f12's as
we normally do and it performed great I was a little bit worried due to the pump
and the the like flow and stuff conflicting with air flow on the
radiator but it didn't seem to affect it that much as the only cooler that beat
it was a 2x1 40mm cooler which should
have if this beat a 2x1 40 mm cooler I
probably would have redone my testing a few more times so I happy to see it did
really well and happy to see it is the successor of the original 220 it's good
to see all these high performance parts in one big package all right guys thanks
for watching let me know what you think about this uh hey can you do me a favor
I'm out of razors 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 uh I'll finish up the conclusion here see you that's bull but
I quit so it's cool 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 Co workers in an awkward
