Swiftech H2O-120, any good?

Mr Jones · 2 Jun 2006 at 10:00

I've been looking at some Watercooling systems lately, in anticipation for my new Rig - maybe a Conroe or a 939. Yet sure.

I thought the Cosair Nautilus 500 looks brilliant, but a few of my mates said it's not good because it's an external kit = longer pipping = more strain on the pump e.t.c.

The next WC I can really afford is the Swiftech H2O-120-Premium

So, what are your opinion on this Swiftech WC system? Anyone have one?

(I'll be getting a P190, I'm hoping the Rad and fan can fit on and exhaust from the roof?)

It's good value for sure.

Mr Jones · 2 Jun 2006 at 21:01

Hmm, when you say good value - do you mean you've got one one?

It's cheap and affordable - but I just don't know how "good" it is e.t.c

Id like to know this too, ill be buying one in the next few days, but the dont have the new VGA waterblock in stock.

You will be hard pushed to find anything better for the money.

Not the best performer but for what you get it's very very good.

anyone else used one?

Not used one but for another £30 you can get an Apex Ultra!!!!

I have the earlier version with the MCW6000 instead of the Apogee. Works great.

Coz it's dual rad... :/
Have to go thru a lot more trouble drilling and all.
Want something entirely inside a P180...

Tho, if it's the Apex Ultra - will it be able to fit in a P180 or perhaps a Thermaltake Aguila?

Yes its duel rad but that gives greater flexability if at a later date ou want to add Gfx cooling.
The only hole that needs drilling is for the 2 tubes as the duel rad attaches the same as in the pick above.
I'm sure that the Ultra has higher quality components than the Swiftech H2O-120-Premium as well,, at the end of the day the choice is yours.
