Swiftech H240 X3 AIO review
A swift yet powerful AIO?

Today, we are reviewing an AIO cooler from Swiftech: the H240 X3. It’s one of two variants of this new series (the bigger one is a 360 mm). Swiftech hopes to lower the cost of entry to the “liquid world” with its expandable AIO: the H240 X3. This cooler isn’t your ordinary AIO because, unlike most AIOs, it gives you the option to expand it with other water-cooling components such as a GPU block. The H240 X3 includes everything you need to start your loop with a 240mm radiator, 70ml integrated tempered glass reservoir, a PWM pump, and a Swiftech Apogee SKF “LT” CPU block. It comes with such features as RGB LEDs on the CPU block and fans, Mayhem's tubing and Pastel Nanofluid Coolant, and a high-quality copper-and-brass radiator. The H240 X3 uses a very popular All-in-One formula, with a radiator, pump, and fans (2 x120 mm in this case) that are coupled into a single, closed-loop. Of course, there’s some aRGB here as well.

The included fans are the PWM-controlled Helix Iris 120 mm fans with rpm ranging between 900 and 1800, and noise performance at 16-32 dBA. The H240 X3 supports all major motherboard RGB systems, such as Asus Aura Sync, Gigabyte RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light or Asrock RGB LED. We received the 240 mm version of the H240 X3 (there is also a 360 mm one available).

The radiator’s dimensions are 127 mm x 254 mm x 90 mm. It has copper fins, which should allow faster heat transfer. 
With an MSRP of $139.95, it’s an affordable solution for someone who’s looking to get into water cooling. Also available is the H360 X3, which is the 360mm radiator version with a $164.95 price tag. The warranty period is 2 years. Let’s check out the manufacturer info, specs, and features on the next page.
