Swiftech H220-X Review

A Closer Look »

Packaging and Contents


Measuring roughly 33.65 cm in length, 24.1 cm in width, and 15.25 cm in height, Swiftech used a nicely sized box to protect the H220-X. The top lists its supported sockets and shows the cooler in all its glory, with the different color options for the CPU block. The warranty's length is also clearly displayed, which is nice to see as it is often buried in some fine print inside a manual. The small info box makes sure to tell users that the flagship Apogee XL block is included, along with a coolant-level indicator. This and its fully customizable plug and play design make it a complete solution. The front includes a little bit of info on who Swiftech is and what the box contains, while the left only holds the H220-X product name and company logo, although plainly visible.


The back shows the Swiftech H220-X's performance versus a couple of competing coolers, along with a list of features in various languages. The right side mirrors the left to again show the H220-X product name and Swiftech logo.

Opening the box reveals the cooler, seated in a cardboard tray with all the accessories sealed inside small plastic bags. While not the best design for protecting a product, it is more than adequate. As such, there is little reason to worry about damage during shipping.


The radiator, pump, and reservoir are all one unit, and the fans have been pre-installed to the radiator for you.


Swiftech has made sure to support all modern sockets, including socket LGA775 and LGA1366, with a separate backplate that is not included. This kit is essentially ready to go for socket LGA115x users as there is little in the way of necessary preparation. As such, most of the additional hardware shown is for AMD sockets and Intel's LGA2011. The kit is fully assembled from the get-go, so there are no fans or small screws to mess with; that is, for the most part. A great job by Swiftech here as they have really made it as easy as possible for the end user.
