Introduction
Who ever dreamed that high performance water-cooling would one day become simple? We did.
When we designed the patent pending Apogee™ Drive, we invented a way of combining two of our existing components: the Apogee water-block and the MCP350 pump. But why stop there? It occurred to us that by also combining the radiator and reservoir, we could further simplify the traditional four-component loop into a revolutionary two-component, high performance Liquid Cooling System that would be incredibly easy to install. So we added a reservoir to the existing Quiet Power MCR120 radiator, and Voilà! Now we can proudly say:
"Watercooling has never been this easy!"
Features & benefits
| High Cooling Power and Quiet Operations |
-
High flow system: high power pump, reduced flow path, low pressure drop, 81 CFM fan (@12 volts).
-
Quiet pump, 12 to 7 volt fan adapter for low noise (26 dBA) operations.
-
Optimized radiator for high heat dissipation @ low noise.
|
| Incredibly simple to install |
- Only two components (8 screws) to install
|
| High Reliability and Low Maintenance |
| |
| Versatile |
| |
| Superior Value |
|
..and did we forget to mention "Incredibly Easy to install"? |

Overclocking and system configuration vs. Noise level
Make no mistake! the H20-120 Compact is not just any entry-level weakling barely capable of exceeding good air-cooling performance. In fact, we are presenting below two new tools to evaluate the kit capabilities:
- the "O/C Meter", a chart summarizing the H20-120 Compact capabilities based on system configuration and intended usage, and
- the CPU temperature calculator, a utility designed to predict CPU temperature under load depending on voltage and frequency.

Swiftech O/C Meter

Swiftech CPU Temperature Calculator
This utility will allow you to estimate fairly precisely (± 1°C at 100 Watts) what your CPU temperature will be with the H20-120 compact cooling kit when operating under 100% load. It reports the values generated by three commonly used load utilities: Intel® TAT, BurnK6, and Orthos.
Select your CPU type below, enter the CPU clock and voltage, the ambient temperature, the fan speed, and the calculator below will return the junction temperature of the processor.
At the time of publication, this utility is only applicable for a loop with CPU cooling only.
Effective Nov. 21st, the perfomance algorythm has been updated to reflect the Apogee Drive bowed base effect ( 0.017 C/W improvement on single die CPU and 0.013 C/W on dual die CPU).

A typical installation. Can we say "simple" ? |
This example shows a CPU & Graphics cooling configuration as well as how to use the "Radbox" for an external radiator installation when there is no means to attach it inside of the chassis. |
|
|
Add-on components
When you add an element to your loop for graphics or chipset cooling for example, we recommend using our sleeved Norprene tubing. |
|
If your case doesn't feature a rear 120mm fan to attach our radiator, it is still possible to use the kit. Simply procure the MCB-120 "Radbox" Universal radiator mount housing and install the radiator to the back of your case. It might even get you better temps! |
|
You can easily add water-cooling for your graphics card(s), using either the Universal MCW60 VGA Waterblock ... |
|
...or using the STEALTH for nVidia's GeForce 8800 series. |
|
You can also cool the chipset by adding either another water-block such as the Universal MCW30... |
|
...or by going air-cooling with the MCX159-CU. |
|
And if you fancy even more cooling power at low noise, you can also add a second radiator, or upgrade to a dual 120, or even a triple! |
