Hey guys :)

I'm looking for a good AIO for my next rig. I am going to OC an I5 4690k. I was thinking of getting the h100 or the h220. I'm also looking at fractal design's kelvin series. Do you guys have any info on it?

I can spend around 100$.

Have a great day and thanks for answering. ;)

If you are in the US, your best hope for the Fractal Kelvin series is NCIX or importing it from abroad. Asetek's patent trolling prevents its sales in the US directly. Such a shame too, the rads are good performers. As it is now, wait another week for the Swiftech H220x and see how reviews are.

Yeah that's a shame. What about Canada? Will it be available here and if yes, do you have any idea when?

The h220x will be over my budget from what I can see here. http://www.ncixus.com/products/?sku=93547&vpn=H220X&manufacture=Swiftech

What are the differences between this one and the H220?

Daz (from Dazmode) is your best bet from the Fractal Kelvin series. Talk to him and express your interest. He is a great guy and will help you out if possible.

The 220x looks better in my opinion and comes with a better pump. It has the pump on the reservoir (which has a see-through window with LEDs) so as to get around the Asetek patent. Look it up for videos/pictures. It would be comparable to the Kelvin units in price since these are all expandable.

I think to S24 was announced to 120$. I prefer the looking of of the S24 also.

Also the guys you are talking about, Daz, he is on this forum?

Thank you for helping me.

Seeing how he is the owner of the store, the website and forums, I bet he is there :)

Best way would be to go via his website: https://www.dazmode.com/store/contact-us/

Are you sure he is the right person? Because I created account (I did before seeing your answer lol) on the forum and sent a private message to Dazmode and he told me that he couldn't help me since they don't deal with Fractal Design.

Yes, he is the owner. Pity though, I would have thought he could do something about it. Your other option is to see if NCIX or Newegg will carry it. Worst case, import from another country/continent but at that stage you might be better off making a custom loop.

Okay thanks a lot man. Have a great day.

I'll wait a couple of week and see if the S24 will be available and make a choice then when we will have the benchmarks. If it won't be available I'll just get the H220.
