Have had an H60 running for going on three years now. Sadly, I have not tracked thermal performance at all, so I can't tell you if today's CPU temps are higher than they were three years ago.
Shopping for a new dual-radiator system for a new build, I see that Swifttech's H220 is getting solid reviews, and interestingly, Swiftech recommends a liquid replacement every three years. Curious if anyone with any factory closed-loop AIOs have been running them for 3+ years, if thermal performance has degraded over time, and if you have added or replaced liquid? Thanks. |

Swiftech's AIO is slightly different than Corsair/NZXT's AIOs. Corsair/NZXT AIOs are all based on CoolIT designs, but Swiftech's was forced out of using that scheme from a lawsuit IIRC. Swiftech's design actually allows the AIO loop to be user expanded, so my impression is that it's not as sealed as the H60 loop. In fact, I'm not even sure how you would add more coolant to the Corsair AIOs. (I'm running a H100i and H80i in my rig) |
