August 31, 2015 Matt Ring News, System & Components 0

On Friday, Swiftech announced their newest reference R9 Fury and FuryX GPU water cooling solution, the Komodo-R9 FuryX Eco. Other than sporting good looks, this waterblock serves the practical purpose of cooling the GPU as well as other hot-spots like the memory and MOSFETs. Swiftech claims that a more holistic approach to video card cooling should lead to improved stability during the course of overclocking.

Similar products from competitors come in $112-$126, making the $115.50 price-point from Swiftech pretty enticing.

Many of the members at the Overclockers.com forums who are watercooling experts will often advise you to stay away from water cooling ‘kits’ for a number of reasons. First, the price vs. performance ratios of most kits are poor compared to aftermarket air cooling, and sometimes such kits even perform worse than aftermarket air coolers. Other concerns are the closed loop and not having the ability to upgrade parts. Swiftech reckon they have changed that with its new “Edge” line of water cooling kits. Today we will be reviewing the Swiftech H20-220 Edge Liquid Cooling Kit which has kindly been provided by CrazyPC.com.
