Swiftech Launches CPU Water-Block with Integrated Pump

This is interesting. Would love to know how it would perform as it could have some great potential for water cooling ITX cases as well as making cleaner looking loops in other cases too.

Wonder if it would be good enough to use with a GPU block in the loop? Anyone else feel slightly nervous about having something vibrating over your CPU though?

What are your thoughts people?

hmmmm... I am a little concerned with the vibrating part... not very concerned tho... Just makes me wonder how long it will take to loosen the hold down... but otherwise I really like the Idea, like, a lot...

looks interesting, specially for people that only want wc cpu that would remove the need of getting seperate pump.

i guess i still prefer the pump res combo instead

Agreed. The pump res combos were made to make the loop tidier and keep the pumps away from sight. Not that this looks bad or anything, but I wouldnt say it looked better than an alternative raystorm or the koolance block

Not sure I like the look of this, plus if the pump breaks you have no CPU block and no pump.

This is interesting, I wouldn't get one myself though.

Yeh, but also true that if any normal pump breaks you have no watercooling system anyway...

I case see it being a good product. I'm personally wanting to see more of the half way steps between corsair hydro series and a fully custom loop - like the RASA kits for example. Everything works out of the box and you still get the proper experience of building a semi-custom loop. If they coupled this with a radiator with a built in reservoir - not too sure how they really work, but I know they're out there, Then I think they'd see quite a lot of sales for it.

I would have no issues putting a gpu or even a couple of gpus in the loop, It contains Swiftech's most powerful pump - could be a really neat loop with a ram block
