Tubing and Coolant
- Tubing: Laboratory grade 3/8” Norprene® tubing wrapped with anti-kink Smartcoils™.
- Coolant: 2 oz bottle of Hydrx™ concentrated anti-fungal, anti-corrosion coolant, requires mixing with 1/2 liter of distilled water (water not provided).
The Swiftech H2O-120 Compact kit appears to have everything you’ll need in the box. About the only thing that is not included is distilled water, which can be purchased at just about any grocery store.
The entire system uses 3/8” ID tubing, which is a positive thing. Smaller 1/4” ID tubing is far too restrictive for a good quality system in our opinion. The radiator has a built-in reservoir and is constructed of brass tubes and copper fins. According to Swiftech, there is enough coolant in the system for up to five years of continuous use, so long as the system is sealed well.
Swiftech’s included fan is a fairly potent model rated for over 81CFM at 2000RPM. A 12V to 7V adapter is also included to reduce the output of the fan and reduce noise if so desired.
The Apogee Drive pump/block is a 12V model that is rated for a healthy 300LPH of flow and about 10ft of head. Compatible with LGA 775, AM2, 939 and even socket F makes it a very versatile CPU block.
Swiftech also includes a 2oz bottle of HydrX anti-fungal and anti-corrosion coolant to keep nasties from growing in the loop.
