Swiftech Apogee XT (Rev.2) CPU WaterblockThe Apogee™ XT is Swiftech's flagship CPU waterblock. It represents the culmination of months of research and development marked by hundreds of hours of competitive testing. The end result is a product that manages to surpass everything that made its predecessor -the Apogee™ GTZ, one of the best water-blocks in the world; a substantial increase in thermal performance, sumptuous functional elegance, unique convenience features for beginners and extreme users alike, all contribute to place the new "XT" in a class of its own.

• The Apogee™ XT is shipped with a Universal hold-down plate and retention mechanism compatible with all Intel® Core™ desktop processors: sockets LGA775, 1155, 1156, and 1366. All Apogee™ XT waterblocks shipped to retail channels after November 1st 2009 include the motherboard back-plates for sockets LGA1366 (Core™ i7) and 1155/1156 (Core™ i5 and i7). The socket 775 motherboard back-plate is not included with the block and is mailed to users free of charge upon request.
• A consistent 3¡C improvement over the Apogeeª GTZ was observed in testing the XT block with various Ci7 processors overclocked to 4.1 Ghz
• The XT water-block is entirely machined from copper and brass. The subtly sculpted brass housing receives a luxurious black chrome plating finish.
• Swiftech's retention mechanism is universally recognized as the simplest and safest to use. It has been further improved to feature universal compatibility with all Intel¨ Coreª desktop processors. The XT also features a unique detachable inlet plate that can be rotated at 180¡ to allow installation of extra large compression fittings.
• The Swiftech's tool free retention system uses springs and limited travel thumb-screws for high quality and repeatable mounts. The waterblock hold-down plate features elongated holes providing compatibility with all Intel¨ Coreª desktop processors. Motherboard back-plates provide server-class rigidity to the assembly.
• The following tables report 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. Competitive data is provided for comparative purposes, and is only representative of the specific waterblock samples tested here. Two samples of the same competitive blocks were used for validation purposes.
