Swiftech push the boundries of what we are used to with an AIO cooler. Can the Swiftech really compete with the H100i?

I look performance on 4.6GHz and for me that is enough.
Same I am disappointed...
Good old H100 if you want cooler for one platform. Because this is throwing money for custom loop. For that money you can buy almost, D5 Koolance PMP-450 and XSPC Dual Bay Res for D5 Vario...If you want GPU and CPU under water this is minimum... For proper water cooling...
Now situation is clear, Hydro series forever or real loop, no kits, combinations,... carefull choose parts, pay twice like H220 but you have system for every platform.

Well that was... somewhat anticlimactic.
Agree about the need for a competitive market. The slow-down of Intel's roadmap since AMD's CPUs have gone down the crapper is really starting to annoy me (seriously, where are my unlocked 8 core CPUs for fuck's sake?). Makes me long for the olden days of Athlons.
I have one very minor suggestion/request for the video review which came to my attention after watching this and the Corsair/NZXT combo vid, and depending on the program used to create the graphs might be feasible or not.
In the graphs section of the vid, the presentation nerd in me would consider it awesome if the coolers/graph bars being currently talked about could be somehow highlighted.
So, for example, out of 10 coolers with 3 bars each, the two coolers currently being compared in the voice-over would be highlighted or coloured differently.
To be clear, this really is just me being extremely picky (where have I heard that before
), and since I'm a great proponent of the principle of factor sparsity, I would completely understand if this isn't implemented due to unreasonably high effort for little reward.

Im also pretty disappointed, i was expecting more from this unit performance wise and yes it does look ugly.
H100i all day long, just wish Corsair/Antec etc etc would bring out an all in one GPU cooler to compete with the Arctic Accelero Hybrid Graphics Card Cooler as im sure it could be done better.
Also is there any chance of you doing a review on the Arctic Accelero Hybrid Graphics Card Cooler Tom ?

So basically
* If it costs more than 100 quid, get an H100i
* If it costs more than 125 quid, look at the kits you can buy, like the EK 240 one, or the H100i if you want a pre-assembled unit.
Except they'd have to bring out a different one for each GPU, because the PCB is different on pretty much all of them.
Guess I'll save my money for something else :/

You need to take a look at this unit more carefully..Arctic Accelero Hybrid Graphics Card Cooler

If they can do it, then im sure the likes of Corsair/Antec could do it better.
The reason why they have not is that thing is just faffing wrong!

Come on Tom you can give us a better review than that, and people are buying them as an easier solution to Custom Water just like they do the CPU all in ones, i agree the Arctic solution looks terrible, but with the likes of Corsair/Antec putting R&D into a solution im sure it could be made better/nicer, as the principle is a good one low noise low temps cooling solution which should be easy too fit, not sure Arctic have managed that though.
Nice review!
Disappointed with the performance though, and still cannot understand why no company is doing a AIO CPU cooler with a 60mm thick rad for those cases that can support it, because I am sure a fair few people would buy one considering how much better the 60mm thick rads perform compared to a 35mm thick rad.
I understand that this AIO kit is a starting point to a custom water loop but really, why would you buy this when you can get a kit for not much more money that will out perform it, and makes it easier to add in another rad or block.

well that was a big shock specialtech have them down for £119.99 atm, in the pics I've seen it didn't look to bad but seeing it in a case it is ugly.
And i'd go with you if you are looking to add a res then your looking at xspc rs240 kit prices and I wouldn't want to run a cpu+gpu off of a 240.
Arctic Accelero Hybrid Graphics Card Cooler I'd just get a Universal EK VGA Supremacy Bridge Edition and put it into a proper loop, time you get that and a h100i your getting into Rx360 kit price. imo
