Swiftech H220 Teaser of my upcoming review of the Swiftech H220 all in one liquid cooling kit , fully upgradable and customizable. What if there was an all in one liquid cooling kit fully upgradable that could be customized to your needs ? The wait is over Swiftech H220 all in one liquid cooling system is here and this kit can do that and much more. A quick teaser of what I have been working on for the last few days , installed on a i7-3770K in a loop with an MSI HD 7970 Lightning . added one Swiftech MCW-82 7900 Series vga water block to the loop and overclocked both cpu and gpu, what do you guys think the outcome will be ? Part 1 of 2 of my review coming tomorrow ( Part 1 enthusiast point of view ) ( Part 2 24/7 use H220 complete review ) Now you can add more water blocks and radiators or anything you can think of , due to the powerful water pump that is variable from 1200rpm all the way to 3000rpm 12 volts 6 watts and controllable via pwm adjustable , the heavy and well made big cooper 2x120 Radiator can handle anything you trow at it , all of this while been completely silence. The game changer , the first all in one cooling kit that can be upgradable ,it will change the way you think about an all in one liquid cooling kit out in the market as of now. I will post a review from a enthusiast point of view and I will not bored you with fancy wording and complicated colorful charts ,instead I will go down and dirty straight to test the max performance of this all in one Swiftech H220 liquid cooling kit from my point of view and after extensive testing and adding water blocks. Enjoy it a little of what im working on , full review to be posted tomorrow. (Too much data to be organized ) Teaser: Swiftech H220 all in one liquid cooling kit installed on i7 3770k overclocked to 4.6Ghz runiing 100% load prime 95 small ftt 100% stable , in the same loop I added my own MSI HD Lightning 7970 using a Swiftech MCW-82 7900 water block with some 3/8 black tubing overclocked to 1200/1600Mhz with added voltage running GPU-Z vga stress test gpu 100% load , both pieces of hardware were running 100% load for 1 hour cooled by the H220, amazing low temperatures for such hot running items on one single loop , it can handle that and much more ... ( *The sounds you hear on the video are coming from my big window air conditioner and not from the Swiftech H220 or the system running* ) Please check out the video and take a look at the temperatures , those settings were running for one hour non stop and then I took the video , controlled ambient temperature around 20c give or take 1 ~3 degrees: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJvdsMwRypI Thank you Swiftech for the support !

Well done , very nice benching , awesome cpu there ! Congratz.

Well done Vince , awesome score those Titans pull. congratz !

hahaha ... Genieben you are 100% correct

Thank you Crabby , this was my best clocker 3870 and it was dead for a long time ,last night i took my time to clean her up with alcohol all the vaseline and sticky insulation from previous LN2 test and took off all the volt mods , baked it in the oven for 20 minutes and voila she came back to live as strong as ever , quicly re-did the volt mods and ran it to test it, that run was made on just plain Jane water at 1.80v core and 2.21v v.mem , water 27c. Lesson learn , do not trow away your dead vieo cards :celebration:

Nice score Bobo ! congratz on a great run !

Nicely done Mike , sick score bro. congratz !

Sick score congratz on the great run !

Congratz guys , amazing score , well done !

Thank you for the heads up and tip SoF :celebration: , will do next run tonite. Kind Regards: Angelo.

Job well done Knut ! Sick score my friend just sick ... Done the PURE way !

Awsome socre there Vince , The King is back full force is see. Done the PURE way !

Sick .... , well done Vince. Done the PURE way !

Amazing score , congratz Vince. Done the PURE way !

Great job , congratz Vince ! done the PURE way !

Dat gpu score , monster score gpu , sick ... congratz Vince Done the PURE way !

mind boggling score , well done Vince ! The PURE way !

Awsome score Knut !

Well done Pete !

I dont think is dying , to the contrary i have seen it grow over the years. There is a new very competitive generation of overclockers from my point of view . If you really enjoy it overclocking you will find a way to make it fun and enjoy it all by yourselve like i have done , im the only extreme overclocker in the entire Caribean Islands , i always bench by myself always have a blast. @kenny , well said my friend.

Im getting hooked on FireStrike already , by far the best looking 3DMarks of them all , well done futuremark. No problems here to report running flawlesly in 2 way sli and 2 way crossfire as well as APUs.

Well done , awsome score there MTECH !

@ Calatea @l0ud sil3nc3 , those units Ron makes are awsome , you got a monster SS bro , it is tune for high loads , nice. @ leaderroy , im affraid there is not much to upgrade or do on that unit due to space for a big compressor inside the metal casing , i did mod a Vapochill before but only changed my whole evaporator , re-gas , re-tune and cap tube , i use a Steeper evaporator made by Piotres at that time , it did help with holding big loads , but at the end i spent so much money upgrading and tuning my old vapochill it was not worth the hassle hence it was money lost and a lot of time consuming work for a couple of degrees. I would suggest if you want to get into extreme overclocking subsero get a propper custom made Single Stage dedicated for cpu cooling only and tuned for holding big loads 275+ watts , there is plenty of people who can make a custom made single stage made. I would suggest you keep this unit as it is , just try to keep a low volt and low overclock on your cpu and gpu , remember you are cooling 2 elements with one single small compresor at the same time. I hope that helps. Regards: Angelo

You are correct :celebration: a Custom made SS with a big rotary compresor and tune for big loads will be able to handle it but at ~38c ~48c max , i had many comercial SS before , Vapochil , OCZ Cryo Unit etc.. ( I was refering to those comercial units available all over the world like coolerexpress , vapochil that i have use and tested myself in the past and those units could not handle big loads ) Also i had a custom made single stage for huge loads 275watts cooling capacity made by SDumper there is a built log of that unit wich i sold before buying my 2 Stage Blue Cascade, the drawback of a custom made SS is the price and shipping for a unit , his unit is a comercial unit available worldwide. On this case i am just tring to make a point about this specific unit , this unit he is talking about is the 2 evaporator unit , one for cpu and one for gpu , onced you start pushing volts and overclock this units they are not capable of cooling big loads as it is sharing all the cooling power to both evaporators at the same time ( commpresor working very hard to keep up with the heat of 2 evaporators ) , wich i think its a big no no since they use small compressors on this unit. +1 at what reggiesanchez said , contact sdumper at xs or ocn http://www.frozencpu.com/products/13091/ex-vap-20/Cooler_Express_2013_Design_Super_Evaporator_CPU_GPU_Cooling_Unit_w_Upgraded_Socket_Kit_-_All_Sockets_478_754_775_1155_1156_1366_2011_939_940_AM2_Xeon_CE-48-D-1C-1G.html?tl=g49

leaderroy never never trust software for subsero temperatures , Trust the Unit temperature readings as it will be as close as it gets. One thing i can tell you is that unit is not design for that much load on a cpu , so in fact you might see + temperatures while running extensive and intensive cpu benchmarks , it cannot handle that load simple as that. for accurate Temps reading i would suggest what i always do when im runing my 2 Stage Blue Cascade , insert a k-type probe directly touching the cpu , read it from a digital thermometer/DMM will be 100% acurate temperatures. I had many Single stages before and they are not capable of holding big loads , thats your key right there maybeyou are expecting too much from this little unit. i hope that helps you understand it a bit better. * also you never mention voltage and mhz you were running on that 12 treaded beast cpu*
