Swiftech Apogee XL CPU Waterblock
Swiftech announced the release of their new Apogee XL flagship waterblock. The XL promises enhanced thermal and hydraulic performance compared to its long line of award winning predecessors, and it ships with 4 interchangeable color plates to allow modders to match the block lighting to that of their custom build, a welcome feature for all enthusiast builders.
The Apogee XL is compatible with all current Intel and AMD desktop processors, and ships with installation hardware for both. Legacy Intel processors compatible with socket 775 and 1366 are also supported in option.
"The Apogee XL is manufactured in high volume since it will also be at the core of the upcoming and highly anticipated H220-X CPU cooling kit, and because of these economies of scale, we are able to offer it for sale at a very reasonable $64.95 MSRP", said Gabriel Rouchon, Swiftech's chairman and CEO.
The product is now shipping to Swiftech Channel partners worldwide.

i used to like swiftech
but after 2 blocks and 3 backplates i've switched to EK.
the plate from the first block was compatable with the 2nd block however the thread in the backplate did not last that long, in total i think mine lasted about 2/3 mounts before they were borderline useless.
hope they improved on the old backplate cause EK's backplate quality mops the floor with slightly older swiftech one's.
however it must be noted, the replacement backplate was delivered to me for free from the US (to holland) via switech customer support, so definetly kudos to them for that ^^

I like swiftech a lot but they're stuff has too much branding on it for my aesthetics.. or at least their blocks to be more specific.
