ap.o.gee: The farthest or highest point; the apex; a final climactic stage
Like a phoenix rising from its ashes, the Apogee Drive II integrated pump & waterblock returns to take its place at the helm of Swiftech's CPU waterblock product line. Close to 24 months in the making, it includes all the latest technological advancements that we have to offer:
ap.o.gee: The farthest or highest point; the apex; a final climactic stage
Like a phoenix rising from its ashes, the Apogee Drive II integrated pump & waterblock returns to take its place at the helm of Swiftech's CPU waterblock product line. Close to 24 months in the making, it includes all the latest technological advancements that we have to offer:
-
Best thermal performance: the Apogee Drive II manages to achieve better thermal performance than the award-winning Apogee HD.
-
Best hydraulic performance: thanks to the integrated, PWM controlled MCP35X pump, which has established itself as the best-in-class pump on the market, the Apogee Drive II is the world's only waterblock that can be considered as a flow enhancing device, as opposed to a flow-robbing device.
-
Best retention mechanism: proven time and again to satisfy beginners and hard-core enthusiasts alike for its ease of use, reliability, and repeatable results.
-
Compact form factor enables liquid cooling in space constrained applications.
-
Adjustable G1/4 inlet and outlet ports, compatible with all compression fittings.
-
Illuminated logo in 3 colors: Red, Blue, or green.
Waterblock Specifications
 
|
|
|
|
 The base-plate is precision-machined from C110 copper. Thermal design of the cooling engine is characterized by Swiftech's fin/pin matrix composed of 225 µm (0.009") micro structures.
|
 |
|
| The mating surface to the CPU is mirror polished, in full compliance with Swiftech's highest quality standards | |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
From default (vertical), the inlet and outlet ports can be tilted to an angle in order for example to facilitate tube routing in space constrained applications.

Loop flow rate comparative data
Comparative Temperature Data:
The following graphs reports the data collected from testing performed with actual retail processors under 100% load using CPU Burn. Published results are the best of a minimum of 5 mounts. These results are indicative of our test bench settings and of the tested processors only. Results may vary from one processor to another.
The following two charts compare thermal performance while the Apogee Drive II is added to an existing loop, for a total of two pumps in operations:
The following chart compares thermal performance of a conventional setup versus one where both water-block and pump have been replaced by an Apogee™ Drive II (1 pump in operations):
Note: "Temperature Delta" means the difference between the average CPU core temperature and the average air temperature. This reporting method reflects the true efficiency of the cooling system because it eliminates ambient air temperature variations in the data being compared. Users are cautioned that the above data is provided for reference only, and is not directly comparable with CPU temperature values collected a) from an enclosed chassis and b) without deducting ambient air data.
