The patent pending H140-X CPU liquid cooling system is the scaled down version of the award winning H220-X and H240-X cooling kits, formatted to fit space constrained systems. The radiator has been designed to exactly fit the width of a 140 mm fan, so that the product can be installed at the back of cases using a 140 mm exhaust fans without interference. The H140-X can also be installed at the top of the case, and there is sufficient tubing length to install it in this configuration.
The H140-X includes the same enthusiast grade components as the H220/H240-X kits, such as the built-in MCP30 pump, and the Apogee® XL waterblock. This product remains entirely focused on low to inaudible operating noise with extreme thermal performance, and it is engineered to appeal to the broadest possible spectrum of performance oriented users:
CASUAL USERS ENTHUSIAST USERS
The kit is shipped factory pre-filled, ready for plug-and-play installation, and it is maintenance free during its warranty period.
Both Swiftech's powerful MCP30 pump and high-pressure Helix fan are PWM compliant devices, allowing the H140-X to be recognized and speed-controlled by the motherboard depending on CPU temperature, just like a regular cooling fan.
As a bonus, the system also includes our PWM splitter allowing connection of up to 8 PWM devices which can then be controlled as one by the motherboard.
Finally, thanks to a clear and user-friendly pictorial installation guide, it could not be easier to install and setup!
The system can be entirely customized thanks to easily replaceable tubing and fittings.
Thanks to its powerful pump it can support additional liquid cooled components such as graphics cards and/or additional radiator(s).
The factory fittings can now be upgraded to any G1/4 compatible after-market fittings (an optional adapter is needed for the pump outlet and is available here, which allows enthusiast users to upgrade their system to 1/2" ID tubing if they wish to.
The H140-X leverages Swiftech's patent pending technology initially developed with the MCR-X20 Drive series of radiators; in this technology, the pump is fully integrated into the radiator instead of being built into the waterblock. Two major improvements were implemented compared to the original MCR-X20 series of radiators:
thanks to a revised placement of the pump and reservoir, the H140-X radiator is now the most compact 140mm heat exchanger on the market, thus facilitating installation of the unit in almost any case having space for a 140mm fan.
the reservoir is now transparent and LED backlit, allowing users to inspect the coolant level while enjoying the inner workings of the pump as can be seen below in a customized system featuring the smaller H220-X that we presented for CES 2014.

Finally, as an immediate benefit of this configuration we were able to use our new extreme performance flagship waterblock the Apogee™ XL which resulted in enhanced thermal performance and flow rate, not to mention superb cosmetic appeal thanks to the XL's multi-color back-lighting capabilities. While only recently released, the Apogee XL has already received two Gold Awards below.
The H140-X carries Swiftech limited 3 year warranty.
