Swiftech to unveil new H220 all-in-one CPU cooler during CES 2013

[stephenswiftech]

Yes we got 120 and 320 versions coming soon.

Hopefully a lower priced version too. Something in the $70 to $80 range would be a nice sweet spot.

Any more news on this?

Ordered mine today to replace my corsair H70 . Can't wait

Been working on my review for a while now:
http://martinsliquidlab.org/2013/01/...r-cooling-kit/

Here are some bits and pieces:

PWM control results:


Pump/Block PQ comparison to the H100i:



Bottom of case mount thermal results relative to the XSPC kit and Larkooler kit:


Bottom of case using the same GT fans compared to the XSPC kit:


Top of case noise comparison to the H100i





Pump only noise:


Kit vs kit testing Top of Case condition vs the H100i:

At like noise levels where it matters (1000-1800) the H220 is in the lead by a couple of degrees. H100i has higher speeds, but 60dBA is extremely loud and beyond what most could tolerate for any regular use. H220 fans are a much better silent option.

Top of case condition GT15 same fans comparison to the H100i:

GTs are still king, and with the same exact fan the H220 is quite a bit stronger, particularly at silent speeds.

Really nice quiet kit, most difficult part is finding stock right now. Hopefully they catch up with demand pretty soon as it's been OOS in many places for a couple of weeks now.

Martin: can you somehow test pressure of H220's block without block extra resistance? (maybe by half immersing it in water bowel without block base?) So that it can be tested as just pump and compared to eg. DDC 1T or 1T+. I'd be interested in seeing it's performance w/o block resistance in more apple to apple comparison to common pumps. (Hmm, or those + HD block, if internals are similar?)

Thought ablout that, but not sure how to do it. Best bet it to test some DIY stuff as block/pump combos to include the block restriction similarly and compare that. APD2 would be a good comparison as well. A 35x top will actually fit but I'm not comfortable running without the second bearing shaft support. Head pressure should be much the same but max flow rate would likely be much higher.

Would love to get my hands on one of these for my 3770k! Problem is they seem to be either out of stock or grossly overpriced. I would have to figure out where to mount this on my acrylic case.

[Martinm210]

I heard they are a few weeks out in providing more supply (new manufacturing plant). If you can wait a few weeks to a month, they will probably be readily available again.

[CrimInalA]

I recommended this to a friend of mine , he's waiting for over a month now with the shop that shipped to me in 2 days .
Not available they say .

A few of these popped up at Newegg a 4 -5 days ago but were gone in a heart beat.
