Swiftech H220 Complete Review Part # 1 of 2

[Zipelgas]

Nice read man, I just ordered mine and cant wait for it to arrive will be poppin my 4770K under it and perhaps the new 290x if i manage to sell my current gtx 780 =)
I was planning to add a radiator to it but as it seems you are running it fine with just one rad, perhaps you have tried to add rads and know how much of a temp drop can one hope for with an additional 240mm rad ?

Thank you for the kind words Zipelgas , im happy you liked my review. Yes with only one 2x120 rad the one that comes with it stock is enough to cool down one cpu and one gpu. If you got a very hot running Haswell and R9 290X turns out to run hot you might need to add another 2x120 rad and it will drop ~15-20c temps at load.

Kind Regards: Chispy.

What max temps @ what ambient, Flank3r ?

[FlanK3r]

I had 40 C in Coretemp, so around 55 C in real with 1.4V and 48xx MHz. So good (today I have +25 C in room)

[felix_w]

Really good temps!!!! Has to be better than H100i, i think...

I assume these temps were not with prime blend or LinX, just gaming or something ?

Also, you have 2x fans on top and one corsair AP below the rad ?

[FlanK3r]

I meased it it Cinebench R15, but in hard load of stabiolity tests will be temps not much higher.
Yes, 2x stock fans and one Corsair, second I cant mount-collision with MB heatsink
