Swiftech H20-120 Compact

They have only just been released and only US e-tailors have them in stock and that's only just.

Distribution of stock from Swiftech is very slow too :(. Revision 2 Swiftech Stealth has been out for a month now and no UK E-tailors with stock yet.

Good piece of kit but not very upgrade friendly due to block and pump being made into one, same with reservoir and radiator.
 
It's a very good kit for its size and price.

It's not going to match a custom loop no, but it's not designed to hit that part of the market.

I will eat my hat if that is in stock when the ETA says ;)
 
it beats all current air cooling, by a good few degrees aswell, when you crank up the volts and speeds, this kit really shines then.
 
How can some muppet review it when they are not even in UK stock yet beats me!

I agree will OCUK really have them on time for once?
 
They're supposed to be fairly good, cooled a quad core no problem however the stock fan is fairly loud. Even at 7v the rated 26db isn't that quiet.

Was looking at this today myself, I'm a n00b to watercooling and this looks a perfect entry level design for me.

My pet hate though is noise! How hard is it to change the bog standard stock fan on these things? Are they external...?

I'd probably stick a Noctua/Xilence etc. on it...
Do the fans on these need to produce a certain amount of air flow (CFM)?

I don't own one so no idea, shouldn't be hard to change though. Obviously a slower fan will lower performance.
Yeah, fair enough...

Cheers anyway, shall do some googling and post my results (if I find anything!) :)

the spec says that the fan pushes 81CFM at 12volts...that is quite a lot!

I've often wondered about these reviews myself. You very, very rarely see anyone post with a recognizable username from these forums. At least two or three are consistenly factually wrong eg. three reviews will say that such and such a product has a maximum FSB of 550, when it has a maximum FSB of 300 etc. And I have to say that I've never actually been able to get a review submitted even though a group of us tried over the course of a month. From 50 attempts we got no reviews published. All of them were glowing, positive reviews about well respected products that we actually owned. But we had none, nil, zero published. Of course, I'm not implying the shop makes these reviews up or anything....

As for the cooler, if the VR_Zone review is correct (and it's Shamino, so why wouldn't it be?) then it rather kills a few sacred cows. One 120mm radiator, with a CPU block with four screw holes in the corners, no recognizable reservoir and a warm pump on top manages to cool a massively overclocked QuadCore supposedly better than my D-Tek/DDC/EK MultiOption/0.5" tubing/Thermochill PA120.2 with two YateLoons?

I'm ordering one for delivery next Thursday, but if it's as good as the VR-Zone review says, then who's going to buy a proper water-cooling system ever again at twice the cost?
 
This system reminds me of my most stupid purchase ever lol

It was an all in one water cooling solution from Globalwin, I bought it to replace my slk-800 and I was severly miffed when temp had risen around 10c across the board lol. I sold it a few months later on the the bay for a £20 loss though.

seems a bit toooo good to be true especially "Rodneys" video review

Overclocked q6600 @ 3400 with 1.52v

idle 23 (when room temp is 23 so basically no difference)
load 53

even if that is a G0 surely that's gotta be a speedfan type rating rather than TAT or Coretemp ?!!?
 
I was thinking about getting one of these so depending on results as stock becomes more available Ill make my choice then 80 quid is not too bad.

it is never mean to replace 300 pound plus kits... just make it easier for people who have never done water cooling to have their first go with this kit... i think it looks very nice... and i will be ordering one soon...
