Swiftech Apogee XT CPU Water Block		QTY:
	The World's Best Waterblock Is Here!!! The Apogee XT is Swiftech's flagship water block. While it shares the same name with its predecessors, it also leaps beyond previous generations of CPU water block thanks to an entirely new design that pushes and refines both thermal and mechanical specifications to the limits of today's technology! Mechanical design of the copper base plate is optimized for Intel Sockets 1156 & 1366. The assembly features a design characterized by a topographically mapped CPU contact area which results in a 75% and up to 300% improvement in TIM joint thermal resistance compared to the previous Apogee series water blocks. The thermal design of the cooling engine combines the benefits of direct coolant impingement over the CPU area with an entirely new copper base plate design which is primarily characterized by a pin matrix composed of 250 µm (0.009") micro structures. When the Apogee XT is integrated in an actual system, the hydraulic pressure drop remains well within the efficiency range of current generation high-pressure liquid pumps. Retention mechanism: An enhanced tool free retention system using thumb-nuts paired with LGA1156 & LGA1366 motherboard back-plates guarantee high quality, safe and repeatable mounts for the latest Intel mainboards. Package contents: Assembly including Apogee XT water-block, hold-down plates and retention hardware for Intel Sockets 1156 & 1366, chrome plated high flow 1/4" BSPP x 1/2" Eurostyle hose barbs, Arctic Céramique thermal paste & installation guide. Net weight: 428g. Further information: For more information on this CPU water block, please check Swiftech’s ApogeeXT product page: http://www.swiftnets.com/products/APOGEE-XT.asp
