hey guys here are some pics of the Swiftech h2o 220. I have added 2 gpu water blocks to my card that cost $1.99 each. My temps are at 44c for cpu and 42c and 39c for my cards. let me know what you think. I recommend this kit to everyone.

So you're telling me that your gpu block cost 1.99$ a piece and that you're running all of that with a 220 rad? and what are those temps idle or load? get prime 95 and run it for a couple hours and post the result after that we'll talk. I'm sorry don't want to be a bubble buster but you need to be more specific

Spawn-Inc · 03-28-09, 07:33 PM

they are the discontinued thermaltake blocks. they are copper and plexi.

i would like to also see load temps.

WonderingSoul · 03-28-09, 07:38 PM

I would like to see some better cable management

Those 4850s don't toss that much heat so I don't forsee huge temps on em

fusion509 · 03-28-09, 07:42 PM

load temps for my cpu is 55c and load for my gpu is 35c and 65c. This is after running prime 95 and ati tool artifacts scanner.

screen shot por favor

Conumdrum · 03-28-09, 09:07 PM

Wow! All that on that pump and rad. If your happy with temps I guess your good to go, nice find on those GPU blocks, watch them closely.

Good job!

fusion509 · 03-28-09, 09:22 PM

Well here is the screen shot for proof. I have the ati tool test running and prime 956 maximum heat test going.

Spawn-Inc · 03-28-09, 09:26 PM

just so you know your only loading one of the gpu's.

i would try furmark to load them.

gigabit · 03-28-09, 09:28 PM

Be very careful with that kit.I had mine and after 4 months it started leaking like a siv.Keep an eye on the 4 allenhead screws.They will come loose after a while and then you will have a problem on your hands because you wont notice it until your system shuts down like mine did.But other than that its a great kit.

fusion509 · 03-28-09, 09:32 PM

where are those screws located?

fusion509 · 03-28-09, 09:38 PM

I ran furmark and the temps rose to 73c and 41c.

gigabit · 03-28-09, 09:40 PM

The 4 on the top of the apogee drive.They come loose and then the apogee will leak like a mofo from the base.Just tighten them every so often and you should be ok.Or better yet remove them and put some thread locker on them reinstall them now the problem should be eliminated

i'm not sure why but your not loading the other card. they should be roughly the same temp. but it doesn't matter.

What did your CPU rise to?

schmide · 03-29-09, 03:26 AM

I got the same blocks from RS although I paid 3.79 each. Oh well. Played with them, they work well. Although I had them on a 9600gt, not much wattage there.

That one temp is way too hot even for your heat to rad ratio. I think you may have a bad seated block or may have dislodged the shim that protects the core.

I think you might be right because one time when i was moving my computer i noticed that the gpu block had shifted. I never re seeded it but i think i will.

AFAIK from your screenie temps were after one minute, and 30 seconds on the gpu. let it run for 10-15 minutes for the water to circulate and heat up properly, my i7 doesn't settle until it has been loaded for a good 10 minutes.
Then show us a screenshot :P

WonderingSoul · 03-29-09, 01:23 PM

Something isn't seated right on that one video card block. I would thinkg temps wouldn't be that high.

You should two more fans on that rad for a push/pull config.

fusion509 · 09-05-09, 07:36 PM

Here is an update, I reseeded my videocards and re did my cable management and my temps now a re 32c for both cards. I will have pics up soon.

You havent had any problems with that pump/heatsink?

No i have not , but 2 days ago my friend got the same system and when we tested it i was not working and then the pump started to leak. I have heard mixed results about it, but i am lucky i guess.

gigabit · 09-06-09, 09:48 AM

Yeah mine worked great til one day i came home and got on my PC and it shut down like 3 minutes later.I pulled the side off and my PC was flooded

CompuTamer · 12-05-09, 02:25 PM

:/ My 4850 runs no higher that 65 on the air cooler that came with it. I've never actually seen it hit 65 lol

Me too! I did this on my motorcycle gauges:

not to jack your thread or anything, but red/ blue leds do look really good together

boucher91 · 12-06-09, 08:40 AM

i have the same cooling system.
had a hell of a time with it in the beginning..
i used silicone for sealing mating surfaces and thread blocker on screws...
have been bout 1 yr now all is well...
