    Swiftech Apogee XL CPU Waterblock

    Long Beach, April 19, 2014, 13:30 PST - Rouchon Industries Inc., d/b/a/ Swiftech? today announced the release of their new Apogee? XL flagship waterblock. The XL promises enhanced thermal and hydraulic performance compared to its long line of award winning predecessors, and it ships with 4 interchangeable color plates to allow modders to match the block lighting to that of their custom build, a welcome feature for all enthusiast builders. The Apogee? XL is compatible with all current Intel? and AMD? desktop processors, and ships with installation hardware for both. Legacy Intel? processors compatible with socket 775 and 1366 are also supported in option. ?The Apogee? XL is manufactured in high volume since it will also be at the core of the upcoming and highly anticipated H220-X CPU cooling kit, and because of these economies of scale, we are able to offer it for sale at a very reasonable $64.95 MSRP?, said Gabriel Rouchon, Swiftech?s chairman and CEO.

    In terms of aesthetics Swiftech seems to actually be going backwards. They peaked w/ the GTX, everything since has IMO been slightly uglier than the one before it.

    I liked XT as well, but I am afraid I have to agree with the general idea... I'd love to see more chrome-plated parts!

    The ext. design doesn't grab me either, the lights are a nice touch IMHO. Nice they still support 775

    I'm more interested in what the internals look like tbh
